With Kraken Wallet, we are committed to providing an intuitive, seamless, and secure on-chain experience. Today we’re excited to unveil a new set of tools to help you explore the vast world of on-chain. And our new Explore page is at the forefront.
Whether you’re new to on-chain or a seasoned expert, Explore pairs with our new in-app browser to connect directly to dApps within Kraken Wallet. This latest update allows for seamless on-chain usage.
What’s new with Kraken Wallet
Home screen updated with new navigation bar
We’ve introduced a small floating navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. The home page button now appears as a wallet button, a new navigation page has navigation buttons, and the WalletConnect button has been moved from the top right.
New navigation page
The Explore page is a dynamic hub within Kraken Wallet that organizes all of your favorite on-chain content. For new users, this is a great place to get started with popular and trusted dApps in DeFi, NFTs, and more. For experienced users, it provides quick access to favorite on-chain destinations. We have plans to evolve our navigation pages over time, including introducing dynamic content, the Ink experience, and more.
In-app browser that allows direct dApp connection
You can discover interesting dApps through the explore page. Once you find something you’re interested in, you can now view and interact with it directly through Kraken Wallet’s new in-app browser.
You can easily connect your wallet to any dApp and sign transactions within your default browser. Can’t find what you’re looking for on the Explore page? Use the search function at the top of the screen and use your browser to find it.
Enhanced Security
We always keep security and privacy at the forefront of our development. In addition to new secret recovery phrase tools like iCloud Backup, we’ve partnered with Trail of Bits to conduct an additional security review of the in-app browser. You can find the report here.
