GeroWallet aims to be the definitive wallet for any crypto user’s needs.

As the first blockchain-agnostic, full-featured DeFi wallet, GeroWallet expands upon the feature set shared by others in the space (Yoroi, AdaLite, and Daedalus) and sets itself apart as the most inclusive and user-friendly wallet.

Like its counterparts, GeroWallet utilizes Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) design which enables the fast and secure management of multiple wallet addresses simultaneously. Similar to the AdaLite and Yoroi litewallets, GeroWallet does not require the user to download the entire Cardano blockchain. In fact, Daedalus is only available as a data-heavy desktop app, and Adalite can only be accessed via browser. GeroWallet and Yoroi are the only wallets to offer both mobile and web3 implementations. While Yoroi allows users to buy ADA with fiat, GeroWallet will offer both fiat on- and off-ramps; This allows users to buy and sell any cryptocurrency directly in the wallet.

However, GeroWallet has a lot more to offer than these shared features. GeroWallet will facilitate cross-chain swaps between blockchains. Users will be able to influence the development of GeroWallet through its native $GERO token. In addition to governance, the token will be used for fee payments, and can be staked for rewards such as discounted fees or access to premium features. Premium services such as market analytics, price alerts and tracking will be developed in accordance with the community’s votes. The goal here is to provide a robust platform with user-determined functions for new and advanced users alike.

GeroWallet also distinguishes itself by its focus on delivering a superior user experience. Every project wants to provide good UX, but few if any make it the core of their mission. Currently, users must navigate multiple services to access common DeFi functions. This may be the most pervasive barrier to user adoption. GeroWallet will unify the most widely used DeFi applications behind a single user-friendly interface; dApps will be integrated and chained on the backend, so common DeFi applications can be accessed with fewer steps.

Most Cardano wallets offer some form of staking, but the emphasis on integrations means GeroWallet users will be able to participate in swapping, staking, pooling, yield farming, borrowing, lending, and trading synthetics — all within one platform.

The chart below highlights planned features of GeroWallet compared to the counterparts mentioned above.

Because of the decentralized nature of GeroWallet’s development, its list of features will change and expand. GeroWallet’s focus on decentralisation and its mission to deliver an unparalleled user experience will make it stand out from other wallet options, benefit the DeFi community, and set new standards for dApps
