NOW Wallet Key Features and Their Basis for Being

NOW Wallet is a holistic digital wallet application that not only incorporates the requirements of users in the modern crypto market, but also foresees them, introducing such features that make it unique and user-friendly. Among the main features of NOW Wallet are:

• Multi-Chain Support: As of the end of 2024, there are over 1,000 separate blockchain networks operating on the market. With such a multitude of blockchains operating on the market, it is imperative for users to be able to have instant and seamless access to their portfolio assets for uninterrupted transfer and other operations.
• NFTs: Statista states that demand for Non-Fungible Tokens has reached $684 million in 2024 and is expected to grow by at least 11% annually up to 2030. The reason is that NFTs often act as inextricable instruments within Web3 applications and games, and this factor has driven the need for wallets that can store and manage such assets seamlessly. This factor has driven NOW Wallet to include NFT support across Solana and Ethereum chains, with viewing gallery and other options.
• DeFi Integration: The DeFi market is huge, reaching in size well over $46 billion by the end of 2024, and is expected to grow by about 11% year-on-year. As wallets are developing into all-round gateways for instant access into decentralized finance applications, NOW Wallet gives its users the ability to manage multiple accounts from a single entry point and operate on a wide range of DeFi platforms.
• Security Concerns: The number of crypto hacks in the first half of 2024 doubled from the same period of last year to $1.38 billion, with some notable cases standing out, such as the loss of over $43 million from BingX, or $235 million WazirX. As security concerns become a key factor in users’ choice of wallet, NOW Wallet introduced unprecedented measures to ensure the safety of the assets it stores. From advanced encryption methods, private key management, and recovery options, to standard FaceID, NOW Wallet is not just in line with the latest in security developments, but one step ahead.
• User Experience: Being intuitive in terms of interface and accessible to beginners is a determining factor for a wallet’s popularity as crypto adoption rises. NOW Wallet boasts the most intuitive and user-friendly interface among all digital wallets, and is focused on continuously upping the user experience based on feedback and market trends.
