DeFi History

To understand the why this innovative mobile app aims to revolutionize the way we interact with DeFi we’ll share the history of crypto wallets.

The Evolution of Wallets: From Bitcoin to Ethereum

The early days of Bitcoin in 2009 brought challenges as users dealt with wallet downloads and complex blockchain installations. However, the crypto landscape underwent a paradigm shift between 2010-2012 with the rise of centralized exchanges like MTGOX, Blockchain.com, and Coinbase, which eliminated technical barriers and introduced Bitcoin to the masses. Ethereum's arrival in 2013 further transformed the industry, sparking a demand for wallets that seamlessly interacted with smart contracts. In 2016 Metamask, the trailblazing wallet, empowered users to take full control of their Ethereum experience.

The Challenge of DeFi Interaction: Complexity and Gas Fees

As the DeFi ecosystem grew, so did the complexities of interacting with various chains and protocols. Users seeking to explore EVM-compatible chains or Layer 2 solutions encountered cumbersome bridge processes and high gas fees. The struggle of having tokens trapped in Layer 2 wallets due to a lack of native ETH to cover transaction costs further compounded the issue. As the crypto landscape evolved, so did the challenges faced by users eager to participate in DeFi's transformative potential.
