Problem
Many cryptocurrency wallets lack native support for Bitcoin and Starknet, forcing users to manage assets across multiple platforms. Existing wallets often have complex interfaces and high transaction fees, hindering accessibility and ease of use, especially for users engaging with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Solution
Braavos Wallet consolidates Bitcoin, Starknet, and other cryptocurrencies into a single, self-custodial wallet, providing a secure and user-friendly experience. The wallet supports gas-free transactions on Starknet, enabling users to stake assets, explore DeFi protocols, and send Lightning payments without incurring high fees. Braavos offers a DeFi dashboard to track assets and yields, along with biometric authentication and optional multi-factor authentication for enhanced security. Users can deposit funds via credit card, bank transfer, or by bridging from other networks and centralized exchanges.
