Setting the Web3 wallet standard

Bitget Wallet set the bar high for web3 wallets, with its on-chain token chart offers, support for cross-chain transactions, NFT market integration, and launchpads across multiple chains. It is also the first wallet to achieve multi-chain aggregation, positioning it as a pioneer in Web3 wallet innovation.

Since launching, Bitget Wallet has integrated with more than 100 major public and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible blockchain networks. This year, it has become the top wallet in the memecoin ecosystem, supporting smart money tracking on the Solana and Base chains.

The TON ecosystem is transitioning as the most transacted network on the Bitget Wallet, surpassing established public chains like the BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Polygon. Moving forward, the wallet looks to provide users with new features specifically addressing user experience and global expansion as it aims to reach more people with innovative solutions for their crypto wallet needs.
