@shez could you briefly introduce to us what’s the importance of a desktop wallet for harmony when we have a chrome extension wallet and so many other mobile wallets supported ONE?

  • A stand-alone desktop wallet will undoubtedly be more secure, in my mind.

  • competition is always good, it drives innovation.

  • many “maximalists” (thinking of ETH and BTC here) are less comfortable with extensions.

  • our native chrome extension is very basic, and lacking in many features.

Just my thoughts.

There is no desktop wallet in Harmony One so we looking to fill that whole.

But also desktop wallet is usually more secure than mobile, usually more security conscious prefers it

Also allows us in future to support nano ledger easier.

On the colours and font. We were thinking of going for a staking4all look and feel.

Here is our thinking

  1. so the community knows who made it and hopefully get more support on the validator itself so we can build more in future on Harmony One.

  2. Once we have good adoption of the wallet in Harmony ecosystem we have been asking ourselves how can we extend the wallet in a way to get more users, get users from other blockchains involved into Harmony? We validate on several chains and will expand and want to se if we can use the wallet to bring more users to Harmony.

Thanks Ogre

These points captures our exact thoughts on why we want to create a desktop wallet :slight_smile:

Thanks, appreciate the support

  1. I think that it is good to include self branding, as over time… being recognized as a Validator who is creating in the space will be seen as a good thing. I think that the main concern, is that if you use a Harmony logo… we stick to the theme. Is that correct @BRUNO?

  2. if you are able to incorporate something like uniswap or switchain in the background as a bridge, and allow users to easily switch between BTC, ETH, and ONE even… that would be amazing! Other alt coins would just extend our reach, in my mind… looking at it from a consumer side.

For clarification, I would definitely like to see this grant go forward. :+1:
