Whopper Partnership
Currently, the crypto market is at an impasse, as Bitcoin and the altcoin crowd watch diligently for the next movement. For the Rapids project and community, the integrations continue to pour in from all angles, allowing more accessible and more secure cryptocurrency payments across social networks.
Speaking of security, the Rapids Network is proud and excited to announce our latest partnership with Whopper.io. Whopper is a company that offers something all cryptocurrency enthusiasts should have for their precious portfolio: cold storage.
The Internet and the new networks comprising the Internet of Things are quickly expanding their connections throughout the world and throughout our homes. While the advantages of using an Internet connection outweigh the drawbacks, hacking and malicious attacks remain significant challenges associated with Internet connectivity.
Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology utilize the Internet to connect to their respective decentralized networks. Since users claim coins or tokens on those networks, the keys to our assets can be exposed to those with sinister intent. In response, blockchain-related projects offer innovative ways to store your cryptocurrency away from prying hands in the form of crypto-storage solutions.
These solutions can be hot or cold, as they are either connected to the Internet or isolated from Internet connectivity, respectively. Whopper offers the more secure version of the two via cold storage Whopper Wallet Cards.
Whopper Wallet cards are shaped identically to a credit card, allowing the user to easily store them in their wallets along with their Visa debit cards or MasterCard credit cards. Whopper Wallet Cards are offered for several cryptocurrencies and are designed beautifully.
To summarize what will be available to Rapids users via Whopper, here is a breakdown of cold storage card features:
- Secure storage isolated from any online networks
- Coldfolio app for Android smartphones
- A pleasing assortment of artwork accompanying the RPD logo
- Waterproofing & durability
The Coldfolio smartphone app allows Whopper Wallet Card holders to manage their assets through an interactive application. Coldfolio provides you with a way to load your Whopper Wallet Cards and supports live balance tracking. The app interface allows you to check your balance and accept payments on the go.
Being a cryptocurrency user means that you are aware of the many tales of hacking that have adversely affected thousands and even millions of users. Crypto exchanges are notorious for being infiltrated by those who are able to exploit the vulnerabilities of online wallets. The partnership between Rapids and Whopper means that you can now protect yourself from these attacks, securing your RPD on a cold storage solution that is easy to use, appealing to the eye, and resilient to the elements.
As a friendly reminder, the Rapids team would like to emphasize the importance of not storing your cryptocurrencies on exchanges. The highly-utilized exchange, Cryptopia was just hacked, and as a result, many users may have lost their funds to the attackers. Storing your cryptocurrencies on other solutions under your control, hot or cold, is always the safer option.
