With Kraken Wallet, we are committed to creating intuitive, transparent and secure on-chain experiences. Today, we’re excited to unveil a new set of tools for navigating the vast on-chain world, and our new Explore page is front and center.
Whether you’re new to Onchain or a seasoned pro, Explore pairs with our new in-app browser so you can connect directly to dApps in Kraken Wallet. This latest update lets you log in seamlessly.
What’s new with the Kraken wallet
Updated home screen with new navigation bar
We introduced a small floating navigation bar at the bottom of the screen, with buttons for your home page displayed with a Wallet button, our new Explore page with a Navigate button, and the WalletConnect button, which moved from upper right corner.
The new Explore page
The Explore page is a dynamic hub within Kraken Wallet that organizes all your favorite onchain content. For new users, this is a great place to get started with popular/trusted dApps on DeFi, NFTs and more. For power users, you can quickly access your favorite onchain destinations. We plan for the Explore page to evolve over time, including introducing dynamic content, Ink experiences, and more.
An in-app browser with direct connections to dApp
With the Explore page, you will discover exciting dApps. Once you find one that interests you, you can now view and interact with it directly through Kraken Wallet’s new in-app browser.
Easily connect your wallet to any dApp and sign transactions, all within the native browser. Didn’t find what you were looking for on the Explore page? Just use the search function at the top of the screen and find it using the browser.
Enhanced security
We always make sure to keep security and privacy at the forefront of development. In addition to new passphrase recovery tools like iCloud Backup, we’ve partnered with Trail of Bits to conduct an additional in-app browser security review. You can find the report here.
Getting started with Explorer
- First of all, you need to make sure that you have cryptocurrencies in your wallet. You can send crypto to your Kraken wallet, import another wallet, or withdraw from your Kraken account directly to your Kraken wallet.
- Next, use the navigation bar to select the Explore page.
- At the bottom of the screen, tap the middle button on the navigation bar that looks like a compass. This will take you to the Explore page.
- Choose the right dApp
- Select one from our provided lists or type the name of the specific dApp you’re looking for in the search bar at the top.
- Use the in-app browser to connect and interact with dApps
- Connect your wallet to the selected dApp by finding the Connect button, wallet logo, or Connect button.
- You will be presented with the preferred login method for this dApp. You can log in by looking for the Kraken Wallet icon. If you don’t see the Kraken Wallet icon, you can log in either with the Mobile Wallet button or using WalletConnect.
- (Note: Every dApp is different, so the ways to connect to a specific dApp may vary depending on what the dApp supports)
