In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology, we're thrilled to announce the latest release of the WebAuth Wallet on Android, now with full support for the Metal Blockchain. This update marks a pivotal step in the WebAuth Wallet's journey towards becoming a multi-chain wallet.
The Power of WebAuth Wallet
The WebAuth Wallet is designed to simplify your blockchain experience. It eliminates the need to download a wallet application, providing a seamless and user-friendly experience right from your browser. One of the standout features of the WebAuth Wallet is how it handles private keys. Your private key is stored securely in the secure enclave of your device, providing an extra layer of security. This means that your private key never leaves your device, ensuring that your assets are always under your control.
Moreover, the WebAuth Wallet allows you to add different signing devices to your account. This means you can use various methods to authorize transactions, providing flexibility and convenience. For instance, you can use Face ID as a signing device, allowing you to sign transactions using your biometrics and the secure enclave of your iPhone. This feature enhances the security and ease of use of the WebAuth Wallet, making it even more user-friendly.
One Wallet, Two Blockchains
When new users create an account on the WebAuth Wallet, they automatically get an account on both the Metal and Proton Blockchains. The best part? There's just one seed phrase for account recovery, making it easier to manage and secure your assets across both blockchains.
For existing Proton Account holders, the transition is just as smooth. The new release automatically creates a Metal Blockchain account for you, connected to the same WebAuth Wallet. This means you can interact with the Metal Blockchain using the same familiar interface. However, it's important to note that Proton users will get an auto-generated Metal wallet, and they need to back up that private key separately. This ensures that you have full control over your assets on both blockchains.
Staking METAL and Choosing Validators
One of the standout features of the new release is the ability to stake METAL directly in the WebAuth Wallet. Staking is a crucial part of blockchain technology, allowing users to participate in securing the network while earning rewards.
With the WebAuth Wallet, you can choose your validators, who play a vital role in securing the Metal Blockchain. It's a simple, straightforward process that brings you closer to the heart of the blockchain operation.
Cross-Chain Transfers Made Easy
The new WebAuth Wallet release also supports cross-chain transfers from P Chain to C Chain to X Chain. This means you can move your METAL tokens between different chains directly from your WebAuth Wallet, providing a seamless and efficient blockchain experience.
Sending METAL to Other Users
As always, you can send METAL to other users on the Metal Blockchain. Just be sure to double-check the address first to ensure your tokens are going to the right place.
Conclusion
The latest Android release of the WebAuth Wallet, with full support for the Metal Blockchain, is a significant milestone in our journey towards creating a truly multi-chain wallet. Whether you're a seasoned blockchain enthusiast or a newcomer to the space, the WebAuth Wallet provides a seamless, user-friendly way to manage your assets across multiple blockchains. We're excited to bring you this new feature and look forward to continuing to enhance the WebAuth Wallet experience.
