The wallet will simplify self-custody solutions for users across 2,100+ blockchains on one interface. New dashboards will also help users locate hidden or forgotten assets across multiple DApps and platforms.
Leading self-custody wallet solution Ctrl announced the launch of its browser extension wallet, earlier this week. The new innovative and secure wallet will allow users to manage and utilize their digital assets across 2,100+ blockchains including the major networks – Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Cosmos, and THORChain.
According to the team statement, the latest development aims to offer a simple solution to asset management, allowing users to “consolidate all assets within a single, intuitive platform, making it easy to connect to DApps, swap tokens cross-chain, aggregate their portfolio, and even uncover forgotten funds”.
Apart from a simplified interface and connection to thousands of blockchains, the wallet also offers other major features to improve user experience. The “game-changing” browser extension wallet provides a unified portfolio dashboard, a gas tank for easy gas fee payments, and cross-chain swaps to minimize transaction fees when utilizing assets.
“Our extension wallet is making self-custody accessible to everyone around the world,” Emile Dubié, Co-Founder and CEO of Ctrl said. “Our team is committed to creating a wallet that empowers users to control their assets and take advantage of all the opportunities in crypto.”
Ctrl Wallet’s unified portfolio view enhances ease of use, giving users a single, aggregated dashboard to manage holdings across multiple accounts and blockchains. The view will allow users to keep track of and manage their assets seamlessly and efficiently on the wallet, while also enabling them to rediscover assets that they may have forgotten.
With the portfolio summary, users can easily locate assets spread across different accounts—even if it’s forgotten accounts linked to a single seed phrase or hidden tokens on custom networks. By importing the seed phrases, Ctrl automatically detects and consolidates all linked accounts and supports custom network tokens, ensuring users can view assets that might not have been manually added in other wallets.
Secondly, the new browser extension wallet will also feature “Gas Tanks”, a revolutionary feature that will solve issues about gas fees. The Gas Tank allows users to pay all on-chain fees with a single balance of $USDC or $CTRL, no matter the blockchain. By eliminating the need to hold multiple tokens for gas fees, Ctrl Wallet provides a smoother, more efficient experience across networks.
Emile Dubié shared his pleasure on the launch of the feature, saying Gas Tanks will be a significant step forward for wallets and the crypto realm.
“The Gas Tank is a game-changer for self-custody,” said Dubié. “Our users can now interact cross-chain without the hassle of managing different gas tokens. This launch represents a significant step forward in making self-custody as user-friendly as possible.”
Finally, the wallet will also introduce cross-chain swaps to provide users with effortless trading across blockchains. The feature removes the need for third-party bridges or switching across platforms, which could reduce the transaction fees paid by the users. With over 2,100 + blockchains supported by Ctrl, users will be able to seamlessly swap tokens across ecosystems. Integrated routing providers will also ensure users get competitive rates without the need for external tools.
The recent developments have seen Ctrl’s user base extensively grow, with over half a million users currently on the platform. In addition, the wallet has also climbed to fifth spot on the Google Chrome Store. The simplicity to setup the wallet and its goal to make self-custody available to everyone is a key step to its growth, as it allows users to benefit from the security and simplistic nature of the wallet.
For users who already use other wallets like MetaMask or Phantom, Ctrl also allows easy importation of these existing wallets with just a few clicks.
