Cryptocurrency has noticed a big increase when it comes to the rate of global rating. This increase has led to so many challenges that is related to it been treated. One of the challenges is to be able to own a crypto wallet where asset can be saved on. Since different wallet came on board, we have seen some been restricted to some blockchain alone. Like #meetone for eos, #steemwallet for steem, #Blockchain for #bitcoin, so on and so forth.
With all that been said, there are some challenges already. People got frustrated seeing that they have to own different #wallet just to get their token saved. Just imaging owing different wallet, that will surely involve in some fund been lost if you are not careful with your keys. With that pain in the butt, there is every tendency to set up a crypto wallet where different asset can be saved. This lead to Edge wallet coming to the rescue.
A cryptocurrency wallet is a device, physical medium, program or a service which stores the public and/or private keys and can be used to track ownership, receive or spend cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrency itself is not in the wallet. In case of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies derived from it, the cryptocurrency is decentrally stored and maintained in a publicly available ledger called the blockchain. A cryptocurrency wallet, comparable to a bank account, contains a pair of public and private cryptographic keys.
Edge is a universal cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to easily control their owner private keys with the familiarity and ease of mobile banking. With Edge, you are free to own different assets, all can be managed in a single wallet. It also provides the needed security that you need when it comes to crypto savings.
Edge also provides a cryptocurrency exchange that enables you to easily swap your currencies for others with a few taps. Exchange BTC for Ethereum, ETH for BCH and many more.
Edge wallet works just like your normal cryptocurrency wallet, the difference here is that it is a utility wallet, you can own more than one token on it.
Accessing Edge is so easy. They are two options available. For those using Android devices and IOS devices, edge is available for you.
Below is the link for IOS DEVICES
For the purpose of this review, I downloaded the Android OS version.
I followed the Android Link and it took me to the Android OS market, I clicked on the download and it started downloading. After downloading it, I clicked and Lunch the wallet dapp.
It opened, I came across different options. They include as follows:
i. Creation of new account
ii. Logging in with your username, password, and pin.
Now, I set up my account by making sure I input the #Username that I want to use. I input my #Password and finally input the four #digit pin that I want to use for processing transfers. After setting up the account, it showed good job which means successful and it took me to the login page where I input my login username and password. I then finally clicked Login and it opened.
N:B: Don't in any way lose your password and pin, without it, you won't be able to access your account. Edge warns about it, so make sure you back it up.
Edge provides that easy interface that you need for your everyday crypto use. One thing that really interests me is that they provide tutorial for the first timer. This helps to shape you into place. With that been said, some #Edge wallet features include:
i. WALLET - Through your wallet menu, you will come across different sub menu. You can add your token through the wallet menu, you can also add wallet or see your token worth. You can advance further by buying cryptocurrency token with your credit card.
ii. REQUEST: If you click on the request menu, you will come across your receiving address link. You can copy it and send it to the person that want's to send you the fund. Once the person send the fund to the address provided, you will see the fund on your available balance, on your wallet page.
iii. SCAN: You can send token out through this menu. All you have to do is fill the person receiving wallet address, put the amount and click send.
iv. EXCHANGE: I love this token swap. If you have btc, you can easily swap it to another token without going to the market. This is indeed a cool way to make purchase.
v. HELP: You can use the help medium to submit your issues ticket. All you have to do is to click on the help and click on the support ticket.
vi. SETTINGS: You can easily set up your account through this medium. You can change your account password, pin, set up 2 factor authentication, set up recovery phrase etc.
The token swap is something I really love about this wallet. Instead of hitting the market to get your desired coin/token, you can swap them for other alt if you have any. Edge also ensures that the whole process is not stressful.
Edge should have considered my security when it comes to recovering account. I want a situation where Phrase back up is been used to recover lost account, not just using username, password and pin.
Secondly, I will love to see live support been added. This will help to get issues sorted out on the go.
Going by the information provided above, Edge has proven to be a crypto wallet to be owned. With that in place, I am giving them a star rating of 4/5.
