Taking your first steps into web3 can be overwhelming, with a plethora of wallet choices at your fingertips. In our “Wallet of the Week” series, we put the spotlight on one wallet and share why we think they’re worth checking out.

Three reasons why we’re exploring blockchains with Blocto

Blocto’s mission is to make blockchain easier and more accessible for everyone. They’re doing that with Blocto Wallet, a cross-chain smart contract wallet that allows you to seamlessly navigate crypto, dapps, and NFT assets, thanks to the following features.

Gas fees made easy: Paying for gas can be a pain. Instead of spending time trying to figure out how to purchase the right crypto to pay for gas, users can simply purchase Blocto Points, Blocto’s chain-agnostic gas fee solution, using their credit card. Once you’ve topped up your Blocto Points, you can use them to settle your gas fees on any of the eight blockchains and roll-ups that Blocto supports. You’ll also receive 1,000 points when you download the app.

Web3 in under 30 seconds: Onboarding with Blocto Wallet takes just a few taps. Users can sign up using their email and even choose between custodial and non-custodial modes. Say goodbye to long set-ups and the risk of misplacing seed phrases; you can secure your data the way you want.

Crypto on-the-go: With Blocto’s intuitive mobile app, users can buy, sell, and trade digital assets right from their smartphone — no laptops, tablets, or browser extensions needed.

What’s next?

Following the Ethereum Foundation’s announcement at WalletCon, Blocto Wallet is now working on ERC-4337 and seeks to become one of the first compatible smart contract wallets! Support for more EVM-compatible chains is also around the corner, as is the launch of a social login feature.
