Problem
Existing cryptocurrency users face friction when trying to spend their digital assets in everyday transactions due to limited acceptance at traditional points of sale. Converting crypto to fiat currency can be a cumbersome process, often involving exchanges and transfer fees.
Solution

The wallet facilitates instant conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat currency at the time of purchase, eliminating the need for pre-conversion and simplifying the spending process. Users can also earn yield on their BTC and ETH holdings through a savings account feature within the wallet, and swap between different crypto assets directly in the app.
