At the beginning of August, we announced the release of a dApp browser for Flint mobile, on both iOS and Android. This means that you can now use Flint mobile for so much more than just storing your tokens and NFTs. You can now utilize these tokens all over the decentralized web, directly from your mobile device! But this is no normal dApp browser, this is unique.

This is the first fully open mobile dApp browser for the Cardano ecosystem. By introducing this functionality Flint is, once again, raising the bar and setting the standard for Cardano wallets. This development doesn’t just mark a milestone for Flint mobile but for all mobile wallets in the wider Cardano and crypto ecosystem.

We briefly introduced this mobile dApp browser in a previous blog post but this time we’re here to answer some more in-depth questions: what does “fully open” mean? What dApps can you interact with using this dApp browser? And what implications does this have for Cardano and the wider crypto world?

What is a “Fully Open” dApp Browser?

Fully open means that, through this unique dApp browser, Flint wallet mobile can now be used to interact with any and all dApps in the Cardano ecosystem that have been configured to be usable on mobile devices.

From inside the Flint mobile app users select the “Browse” tab to browse the web, using either Google or Baidu as their search engine, and then inject Flint mobile into the mobile-ready Cardano dApp they want to use that supports Flint.

This innovation is soon to be combined with Flint’s “Compatibility Mode” where users will be able inject Flint mobile into a dApp as any existing Cardano light wallet. This means that the dApp in question doesn’t even have to have integrated Flint to allow you to interact with it!

What type of dApps Can I Connect to Flint on my Mobile Device?

Flint mobile can be connected to a wide variety of dApps on the decentralized web. Here are some examples of the types of dApps you can interact with:

  • DeFi — The Cardano DeFi ecosystem is growing and users of Flint mobile will be able to use their Flint mobile wallets to buy and sell tokens on DEXs, add and farm liquidity on DeFi protocols, interact with lending protocols, and partake in the offerings on launchpads and accelerators built for the Cardano ecosystem.
  • NFT Marketplace — Using Flint mobile users will be able to buy NFTs from multiple Cardano NFT marketplaces with just a few clicks on their mobile device.
  • DAOs — DAOs are being implemented around the Cardano ecosystem and using Flint mobile’s open dApp browser you’ll be able to login to your DAO and cast your vote on the go.
  • NFT Drops Don’t miss an NFT drop again! Now you can participate in NFT drops whilst on the move.
  • Games — Many blockchain games require NFTs to login and play and, until now, this was not possible for many games that were built on Cardano. Now with Flint you can play your blockchain games far away from your desktop computer!

As more and more dApps are developed and released for Cardano, the list of projects available to users through Flint’s fully open mobile dApp browser will continue to grow.

What Does This Mean for Cardano and the Wider Crypto World?

A fully open mobile dApp browser throws the world of possibilities wide open for users of Cardano and such functionality has many implications for the wider crypto world.

Worldwide, mobile-based internet traffic currently makes up just under 60% of all internet traffic. More and more people are managing their crypto from their mobile devices and this means that more and more people are open to diving deeper into what crypto has to offer, outside of investing, through this familiar, mobile setting.

To increase adoption the blockchain industry must adapt to the wants and needs of users. That means providing the utility for them to be able to interact with any dApp and all other blockchain-based tools directly from their mobile devices. Flint wallet has done just that.
