  • We’ve just launched version 2.0 with an even more improved UI/UX
  • We’ve added support for multiple chains — Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and Avalanche, with more coming soon

We want our solution to help the entire industry grow. If you know a project that could benefit from our solutions, please let our community managers know, and we’ll be happy to talk!

During the #WenZug event, we also announced the beginning of the development of the AllianceBlock Wallet! This product will bring multiple functionalities of the AllianceBlock Protocol into a one-stop solution to create the best wallet in DeFi. This will include:

  • Multi-chain support for some of the biggest chains in the blockchain industry plus mid-sized ones with active communities;
