The (private) key to mass adoption

Change is coming to crypto, fast

Convenience or control. That’s always been the tradeoff with crypto wallets.

Custodial ones give you convenience due to their UX, but they mean leaving your crypto with a third party (with dire risks). Non-custodial ones give you control, but they’ve been a major hassle with seed phrases, cryptic addresses and gas.

But — after a decade’s wait — that tradeoff is no more.

In this post we argue that a new generation of non-custodial wallets has arrived. They make holding and sending tokens easy. And, much more importantly for the ecosystem, they do the same for using Dapps.

When you combine this with the emergence of standout Dapps such as Maker, Dharma, Veil and Uniswap, it’s clear that we’re at the dawn of something special in crypto.

We start this post with our highlights from others in the wallet community. We then cover Argent and using our wallet to access Dapps. We finish with our plans for natively integrating DeFi Dapps.

The Argent wallet is live on iOS (and will be on Android from April). We’d love to know what you think of it. Last, if you have a Dapp and want easier onboarding, please get in touch: dapps@argent.xyz.
