Keeper Releases Mobile Wallet App
Meet Keeper, a new wallet app powered by the Waves blockchain. With it, you get a key to one of the most established ecosystems the Web3 world has to offer. The app serves as a dashboard, where you can manage all your assets, while seamlessly connecting to dozens of services, all on the fly. Our team is excited to invite you on a journey to the new Waves reality that is more intuitive, usable, and secure.
Why Does Your Phone Need Keeper?
Over the years, Keeper has become a user-favorite tool for managing multiple accounts and connecting their wallets to various websites and services. While the browser extension alone was doing its job pretty well, mobile devices are such an integral part of the crypto experience that absolutely cannot be missed.
Waves is brimming with great projects, whether it is investing, novel technology or entertainment — it has it all. The Keeper app is there to make sure that you, as a user, get to experience the ecosystem in the safest and the most convenient way possible. What used to be exclusive to desktops and laptops, is now available to everyone. With more Waves users, there will be even more worthwhile earning opportunities.
When it comes to authentication, there’s no better way than doing it with your phone. There is a camera that can read QR codes and biometric systems that eliminate any sort of tedium. Coming in a single package, these properties allow us to lower the ecosystem’s entry threshold and make the benefits of using the blockchain really stand out.
What Keeper App Lets You Do
Keeper retains most of its original functionality on release, save for a few features added in the latest updates. Those will shortly be added as the development catches up. At the same time, Keeper gets empowered with the newfound mobile capabilities, so there’s something you wouldn’t be getting in the browser extension format.
The coolest new feature exclusive to the app is the connection to dApps and websites via QR codes. This works just as any QR code authentication would: scan the code with a camera and your wallet is connected, it’s that simple. What previously felt like a chore, now is just a quick, basic action opening up limitless opportunities on the Waves blockchain and potentially on any other chain supporting Keeper accounts.
By the way, switching between accounts is as easy as ever. If you have several wallets, you can log in with each, adding them to the list, and when it’s time to connect, simply choose the one you want to use and scan the code.
Another important consideration is security. Keeper prides itself in being the ultimate guard for your assets. User private keys and seed phrases are never exposed to the services you connect to, as they are stored locally on your device. The same applies to the mobile version of Keeper. And with the ability to use your phone as a multi-factor authentication tool, you can sign every transaction through your app. Keeper allows you to be in full control of transactions and eliminates security risks.
What’s next for Keeper Mobile?
The app’s development is in full swing, meaning there is a lot of functionality to be implemented in the future. Some of the features already present in the browser version have not yet been implemented on mobile, but the team is committed to roll out regular updates that will make Keeper uniform across all platforms.
Among the features to be implemented is the asset swap functionality. Instead of trading crypto on the exchange and going through placing sell or buy orders, you can just swap coins with a push of a button. How does Keeper Swap give you the optimal price? Keeper has a proprietary routing algorithm that packs several trades in a single deal, and by analyzing the best outcome, picks the lowest rates. The Puzzle and Swop.fi routing algorithms are also included so that you could have more options.
Keeper is going to be the place to manage your crypto assets. You will be able to view, sort, pick favorites, and also send them to other wallets. And when you are on the receiving side, it just takes flashing your wallet’s QR code readily available on the app’s main screen. The transaction history will help you track all the operations for a given wallet address, while providing details for a more in-depth review.
Another important aspect of any wallet is the ability to store, receive, send, and view NFTs. With a lot of NFT-oriented projects on the Waves blockchain, it’s only natural that Keeper will soon be capable of supporting NFTs for any of them, including Waves Ducks, Puzzle, and SignArt.
And would you like to have a one-stop control panel that tracks all your tokens in staking, liquidity or yield farming? We have big plans for turning Keeper into that as well. When implemented, you will no longer need to manage multiple platforms, as every bit of your passively earning assets will be neatly organized within the Keeper’s interface.
With the Keeper development roadmap laid out before our eyes we are inspired to make something that revolutionizes the Waves ecosystem experience. We believe that releasing the app is a major step towards mass adoption, faster transactions, less security concerns, and the reality where Waves is a trendsetter for the crypto community worldwide.
