MEW Mobile now supports Solana! Import your SOL and hold all your crypto securely in your favorite wallet.

Since launching 10 years ago as the first Ethereum wallet, MEW has been committed to supporting easy, secure, and self-custodial access to the blockchain for anyone in the world.

Having earned the trust of of the community as the most reliable wallet for Ethereum, over the years MEW has added support for other networks that have been time-tested and have provided value to users. Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and even Bitcoin are supported in MEW mobile wallet, and today MEW is adding Solana.

Solana is a proof of stake network launched in 2020 that has fostered a unique and vibrant community, and has recently emerged as one of the leading blockchains for stablecoins, RWA (real world asset) tokenization, and onchain payment systems. It supports SOL staking, and is home to some of the most popular applications in crypto, including Raydium, Jupiter, Meteora, and PumpFun.

To start using Solana in MEW, import your SOL from other wallets using our detailed guides or buy SOL in MEW directly, and hold all your crypto in one secure, user-friendly wallet that you love!

MEW is always adding new networks and features — if there is something specific you’d like to see in your MEW wallet, make sure to follow us on X(Twitter) and let us know your thoughts!

Self Custody Your SOL in MEW Mobile was originally published in MEW Publications on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

MyEtherWallet started in 2015 as an Ethereum-only wallet, but even then, the main motivation for the MEW team was to create easy, secure, and well-designed blockchain tools for everyday, non-expert users.

Nine years later, the space is unrecognizable, with dozens, if not hundreds of blockchains building to provide scalability for the Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum supplies the underlying security and continues to be the home for original DeFi solutions, and Layer 2s offer the much-needed lower transaction fees and higher speeds which are imperative for blockchain scaling.

MEW Mobile wallet app allows users to manage their assets on the go, with a level of security that is surpassed only by hardware wallets. In addition to Ethereum, the support of Layer 2 networks like Polygon, Base, BNB Smart Chain, and zkSync gives users the flexibility for buying and selling crypto, bridging, and swapping right from their phone, without ever missing a crypto opportunity again.

Today, MEW Mobile wallet app is adding support for Artbitrum, one of the most popular Layer 2 networks. Users can buy, swap and bridge crypto to Arbitrum, manage Arbitrum NFTs and use Arbitrum dApps right from the wallet’s in-app browser.

Download MEW Mobile app and start using Arbitrum for faster, cheaper transactions and trades. Let us know what you think on X (Twitter) or Reddit, and contact our support@myetherwallet.com if you have any questions!

MEW Mobile: Self Custody Multichain Wallet for Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon and More was originally published in MEW Publications on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

The first step in starting your crypto journey is getting a crypto wallet — preferably, a secure, self custody, open source wallet. MEW has you covered there, with great mobile and browser options, as well as a MEW Portfolio dashboard where you can connect and manage assets on any wallet.

The next step is actually getting some crypto. MEW has you covered there too, with multiple onboarding providers integrated right in the wallet — including Simplex, MoonPay, Coinbase Onramp, and now, Topper by Uphold. More onramping choices means better rates and less issues with purchases for users, which makes crypto more accessible for everyone.

Uphold is a global web3 financial platform that’s been around for a decade — a real OG in the crypto space, just like MyEtherWallet. Topper is Uphold’s fiat-to-crypto onramp, offering MEW users a quick, secure, and reliable way to purchase ETH and tokens without leaving the wallet.

Best of all, for a limited time, MEW and Topper are celebrating the launch by offering crypto purchases with zero fees for all users!

Buy Crypto using MEW Mobile

MEW Mobile is MEW’s wallet app for iOS and Android. If you don’t have MEW Mobile, download the app, create or import your wallet, and buy crypto in the app with just a few clicks, selecting Topper from the providers. Need help? See our detailed help center guide.

Buy Crypto using Enkrypt

ETH staking is one of the simplest ways to earn rewards in crypto, and yet, it still doesn’t have the attention or the adoption it deserves.

Memecoins going 500x and airdrop farming are what crypto natives get excited about. While these opportunities give some crypto holders FOMO, they scare most people away, since too many 500x’s end up being rugpulls.

Meanwhile, ETH staking — low-risk and requiring no maintenance when done via a staking service — could be exactly what crypto newbies need. The problem is that it’s still too difficult and inaccessible for many users. Either the required amount is too high (32 ETH for a full validator!), or the process is too complicated, or you can’t do it from your wallet and have to create an account on a different platform. Simpler solutions need to exist to introduce more ETH holders to staking.

Coinbase has been making crypto onboarding and trading easy for over ten years, and now it’s helping users stake ETH without leaving their favorite self-custody wallet. MyEtherWallet was the first Ethereum wallet, making ETH accessible to non-technical users for the first time in 2015, and it’s one of the first wallets to integrate ETH staking powered by Coinbase.

This integration makes staking more convenient and approachable than it’s ever been.

• There is no minimum amount, and the stake begins earning rewards right away, compounding automatically.
• The ETH can be unstaked and re-staked at any time.
• Users of any popular wallet — including all browser wallets, mobile wallets with WalletConnect, and hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor — can use MEW web to stake ETH quickly and easily, while retaining custody of their assets.
• All staking operations happen onchain via audited smart contracts, with transactions that are verifiable on the blockchain. It’s the kind of transparency and decentralized security that users of self-custody wallets expect.

To start staking today, go to MyEtherWallet.com, connect your wallet, and select ‘ETH Staking: Powered by Coinbase’ on the dApp page. See our help center for more information: https://help.myetherwallet.com/en/articles/8843926-stake-eth-with-coinbase-in-mew-web

We are excited to announce that our Rootstock RNS domain giveaway is back by popular demand!

Blockchain domains are email-like names that are assigned to your wallet, so people can send money to ‘mywallet.rsk’ rather than a string of numbers and letters that’s easy to get wrong.Domains make sending crypto easier and more secure, while letting you personalize your presence on web3.

RNS domains are provided by the RIF Name Service and secured on the Rootstock network — a smart-contract platform for Bitcoin, compatible with the EVM. Your RNS domain is not just for Rootstock, though. You can use your RNS wallet name across all major blockchains including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, XRP, and more.

How to get a free domain and enter a raffle to win up to 500 USDC

The giveaway starts on December 4, 2023 and ends on December 14, 2023.

1. Retweet the giveaway announcement tweet.

3. Fill out the form with your Enkrypt wallet address, retweet link, and desired RNS domain name. If your first choice domain name is not available, please try a different one.
4. That’s it! Your RNS domain will be minted and sent to your address automatically within a few minutes. Refresh the page to see your domain status updated.

MEW x Rootstock RNS Domain Giveaway Round 2: Bigger and Better! was originally published in MEW Publications on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

In crypto, we talk a lot about adoption. We talk about onboarding, onramping, lowering the barriers to entry, improving UX/UI, and making better educational content.

The truth is, as with any new endeavor, a person’s experience with crypto is a journey. There’s exploration, growth, and reflection, but the way it starts can strongly determine how it continues — or doesn’t.

Welcome to Crypto

For many crypto users in the US the beginning of their journey is Coinbase. Easy, safe, with a simple interface, and a clear statement of purpose, it is the onboarding experience the crypto-curious were looking for — over 100 million of them, and counting.

Some of these millions just wanted a little piece of the crypto pie, and are happy with what they have achieved on a custodial platform. Others are continuing their journey by getting educated about self-custody: what it means, why it matters in crypto, and how it can fit into their overall crypto strategy.

Level Up

Self-custodial wallets like MEW give users full control over assets, but also require a lot of responsibility and a willingness to do independent research. Crypto moves fast, and a self-custodial wallet which supports Ethereum and Layer 2s is often the only way to get access to exciting new projects or tokens.

Exploring web3 without limits is a great adventure, but it comes with its own challenges. For example, how do you get the crypto you want into your self-custodial wallet, since it’s not directly connected to a centralized exchange? Either you’d have to do KYC through an onboarding provider, which can take time, or send the assets from an exchange wallet account, which will cost some transaction fees.

The Big Win

What if, instead of increasing confusion, the separate pieces of the crypto journey lined up perfectly and complemented each other?

That’s what happens when a self-custodial wallet like MEW integrates a fast, secure, easy, and widely adopted payment option like Coinbase Pay.

The great start you got on Coinbase is serving you well on your continued crypto journey. Need some ETH for gas to play around with a new dApp? Just click a button and buy your ETH with your Coinbase account, deposited right into your MEW wallet app.

Heard about a token that can be used with a cool DeFi platform? Buy it with one click and head to the in-app browser. And if you ever want to swap these tokens, you can do that right in the app too, through MEW’s integrated DEX providers.

The easiest way to onramp into crypto

Overall, Coinbase Pay offers 100+ cryptocurrencies for purchase, accepting over 60 fiat currencies and multiple payment methods, including debit cards and bank accounts. Don’t have a Coinbase Pay account yet? No problem. You can create one right from MEW wallet app and use it across the ecosystem, everywhere Coinbase Pay is accepted.

In the crypto space, big centralized platforms like Coinbase can provide the much-needed structural security and stability, while self-custodial wallets like MEW expand the possibilities of crypto by giving access to dApps, games, tokens, NFTs, and new projects that pop up every day.

Self-custody means that you are the only one who has access to your crypto, and your decisions about it don’t require permission from anyone. There are no rules to follow, but also no guardrails to fence you in.

Which crypto journey are you on? The nice and steady, or the wild ride? Enjoy the best of both worlds with Coinbase Pay in MEW wallet. That’s how adoption happens.

MEW Wallet Integrates Coinbase Pay was originally published in MEW Publications on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

We’ve come a long way in crypto over the past few years: interfaces are looking better, fees are getting lower on layer 2s and sidechains, and there are lots of wallets and DApps to choose from. Still, crypto can be hard, so it makes sense to take advantage of any trick that will make it safer and easier.

Blockchain domain names are a no-brainer for enhancing your crypto experience. They help you — and, even more importantly, the people who are paying you — avoid sending crypto to the wrong address.

Plus, they are a cool way to show off your personality on the blockchain. Domains are worth every penny. And when you’re not just getting a free domain, but also a chance to win $500? Run, don’t walk.

What’s an RNS domain?

Blockchain domains assign an email-like name to your wallet address, so that people can send money to ‘mycoolwallet.rsk’ rather than an error-prone string of numbers and letters.

RIF Name Service is a blockchain domain provider that secures domains through the Rootstock network. Rootstock is the smart contract platform for Bitcoin, compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and supported on MEW. The native currency of Rootstock, rBTC, is pegged 1:1 with Bitcoin.

Your RNS domain can be used across all major blockchains including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, XRP, and more! You can have one wallet name for all your currencies and never worry about keeping different blockchain addresses straight again.

How to mint your domain and enter the raffle

MEW is the official wallet of ETHDenver 2023! was originally published in MEW Publications on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

The Ethereum ecosystem offers a wealth of opportunities for decentralized finance, collectibles, earning rewards, gaming, and pretty much anything you can imagine — but it all starts with ETH in your wallet.

That’s why MEW is continuously working to offer multiple ways to buy crypto easily and securely, right in the wallet. Today, we are excited to announce the integration of Link by Stripe for ETH purchases in MEW wallet app.

Link is a payments solution created by Stripe to make online purchases completely seamless across thousands of sites, businesses, and marketplaces. We believe that onramping into crypto should be as quick and painless as possible, so you can get on with the fun stuff of web3. If you have used Link by Stripe elsewhere online, you can enjoy a one-click ETH purchase in MEW wallet right out of the gate. Even if you’re new to Link, the account setup takes just a few minutes, and all your future purchases will be pretty much instant.

Link by Stripe supports payments with credit card, debit card, and bank account. To purchase ETH using Link in MEW wallet app, click on your account card, select Buy ETH, choose how much you want to spend, and select Link from the available providers.

Don’t have the MEW wallet app? Download now for iOS or Android.

Until recently, one of the biggest conversations in crypto was about which chain is going to ‘rule them all’, with blockchain maxis battling it out on Twitter.

Now it’s clear that the future is multichain. The great advantage of the crypto ecosystem is the innovation that’s made possible by decentralization and open-source code. Developers are not constrained by following the rules of just one blockchain, and users are better off for it — but only if they have great interfaces to interact with the new networks.

That’s why MEW is bringing seven years of expertise in creating easy-to-use wallets to the multichain landscape. Just a few months ago we released Enkrypt, a Web3 multichain browser extension wallet. Enkrypt supports multiple networks in the Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystems, but also Optimism, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, and Bitcoin, with many more blockchains on the way.

Today we are excited to introduce MyDotWallet, a Polkadot web DApp that will allow users to manage Polkadot assets, stake DOT, unlock and monitor DOT vesting, participate in crowdloans, and claim DOT from Ethereum presale addresses.

In creating MyDotWallet, we wanted to give users a clean, intuitive interface for accomplishing the most essential tasks on the Polkadot network. MyDotWallet can be used with Enkrypt and any other browser wallet that supports Polkadot. Give it a try today and see if it works well for you as an alternative to the Polkadot JS dashboard!

See all of your DOT holdings across multiple accounts at a glance, and easily view staking, bonding, and vesting details for any account.

Send assets quickly and seamlessly to fund your accounts as needed.

DOT staking made simple! View the most essential validator parameters in one dashboard, and use filters and sorting to select validators that work best for you. Once you have staked your DOT, go to the Stake tab any time to get a clear view of your current stake and returns.

Support the growth of the Polkadot ecosystem by contributing to parachain crowdloans. If you want to learn more about any parachain, click on the name to be taken to their website. Stay organized by seeing when crowdloans are ending, your current contributions, and whether you can withdraw a contribution from a previous crowdloan.

A one-click interface for claiming your presale DOT! Not sure which wallet you may have used for the presale? Easily check any Ethereum address for a valid DOT claim.

Whether you are a seasoned Polkadot user looking for a simpler way to manage your accounts, or a newbie just exploring the Polkadot ecosystem, we hope MyDotWallet will make your crypto journey that much easier.

MyDotWallet is created by the team behind MEW, MEW wallet app, and Enkrypt browser extension.
