Manage any token with Weipoint Token Wallet

Weipoint aims to makes it easy to discover and interact with decentralized applications (dApps). One important ingredient to many dApps is a token. Tokens are dApp specific cryptocurrencies built on top of Ethereum and are often required to use the dApp. Weipoint now provides an easy way to hold and use these tokens. Tokens are held in your own wallet so you’re always in full control of your funds.

How it Works

Weipoint interfaces with your Ethereum wallet, such as MetaMask, to display and send tokens. Tokens are held by Ethereum addresses, so in the same way your wallet is used to store ETH, it can also store any other standard token. Simply send tokens to your normal wallet address to get started. Weipoint automatically finds and displays tokens you own. In order to send tokens, you need to send a transaction with specific data to the smart contract which governs the token. Weipoint provides a simple interface so you can just input the amount and destination address or ENS domain, and we handle creating the transaction for you. The transaction needs to be signed by you before it’s valid.

Listing Your Own Token

It’s super easy to add any new ERC20 compliant token to the Weipoint Token Wallet. Simply find your token’s contract on Weipoint by searching its address, and then upload source code for your contract. If your contract is a token, we’ll automatically add it to the wallet, and anyone who holds your token will be able to see and transfer it right away.

We hope the wallet makes it easier for you to manage your tokens. If you’re interested in connecting, please reach out to me at antonio@weipoint.com. We’re always looking for talented individuals to join the team.

Disclaimer: This is very early stage software, so there may be bugs or other issues. Please don’t send large amounts until it’s more battle tested. Use at your own risk. Weipoint cannot be held responsible for any losses as a result of any issue with our wallet.
