Hot wallets. Cold wallets. Private keys. Public addresses. Seed phrases. Transaction hash. Gas limit.

Can you imagine explaining the meaning of all these terms to people who do not have deep technical knowledge? Even people familiar with cryptocurrencies do not fully know the purpose of all this. I’ve been in crypto for 3 years and it’s still giving me a headache! Things should drastically change to simplify things in the world of Blockchain to allow mainstream adoption.

Blockchain is NOT simple

Today, many people have heard of blockchain, but few actually use it. The reason is that it is difficult for everyone to use and the technology is complex itself. At the same time, it also lacks appeal and uses cases for ordinary people.

Let me be honest with you: most of the time, blockchain applications and services are NOT easy to use. NOT convenient. NOT for everyone. For it to truly become widespread, someone has to simplify all of this stuff.

Those who are already familiar with blockchain and its ambitions know that this groundbreaking technology could ultimately change the world. But to achieve this, it will need to become more open and understandable to everyone.

A cryptocurrency wallet is the very first place to interact with blockchains. I think you will agree that it should come as no surprise that wallets will play a major role in the adoption of cryptocurrencies by a wider audience.

The cryptocurrency market is now experiencing an unprecedented rise, and moreover, enormous growth opportunities await it in the future. However, when you start telling a person who is not familiar with blockchain about this, they instantly start thinking that blockchain is something difficult and inaccessible. Fortunately, the solution to this problem is right in front of you, in your hand, on your smartphone screen.

I would like to tell you about an extremely promising startup that, when fully launched, will be able to make a real revolution in the field of digital finance, providing newbie users with the most user-friendly application for storing and managing crypto assets. In fact, the main goal of portto, the creators of Blocto, is to make life easier for ordinary people using cryptocurrencies as well as simplifying the working environment for developers of decentralized applications (dApps). No more hours wasted on trying to understand the intricacies of blockchain applications & its mechanisms, ever again.

What is Blocto?

Blocto is a down-to-earth mobile wallet and dApp browser with, unusual for the field of cryptocurrency, minimalistic style. Blocto aims to completely remove, or, at the very least, greatly reduce the entry barrier to the new world of blockchain so that anyone could include it in their daily routine hassle-free. It will take care of those things mentioned at the start of the article about crypto that shouldn’t bother you.

This app is so mind-blowingly easy to use that it is suitable even for people who have never interacted with blockchain and don’t have any blockchain knowledge. This is a perfect gateway to the crypto world for newcomers.

It currently supports:
● Binance Smart Chain/Ethereum/Flow/Solana/Tron assets, 100+ tokens and digital collectables, developers won’t stop at this and will add new blockchains;

Flow is a fast, decentralized and developer-friendly blockchain designed to serve as the foundation for a new generation of games, apps and digital assets that empower them, and Blocto is the first and only mobile wallet to support Flow as of today. You’ve probably heard of well-known projects working on Flow such as NBA Top Shot, MotoGP Ignition and others. Blocto runs the node that constitutes more than 70% of all FLOW delegators on Flow, is also the 4th biggest node with more users joining each day. Blocto has also been rewarded with Solana and Serum grant, apart from other impressive partnerships. Solana is a fast, secure, and censorship-resistant blockchain providing an open infrastructure required for global adoption. If you’re not inspired yet, then I don’t know what else to say.

Also, stay tuned for updates, because the application is currently under heavy development and the emergence of new features will not keep you waiting long! The era of extremely complicated blockchain is officially over because now it is available for everybody. If you let the newest technological advancements present in Blocto enter your daily routine, I can assure you, you will never look back. Let’s move on to a detailed overview of the mobile app.
