About Braavos Wallet

Braavos Wallet is an innovative, self-custodial smart contract wallet built exclusively for Starknet, a leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Available as both a mobile app and a browser extension, Braavos leverages "Account Abstraction" to offer a user experience that feels as intuitive as traditional web2 banking apps, all while maintaining the decentralized security of web3.

Because Elbaite operates on a secure peer-to-peer, wallet-to-wallet model, you never need to link your Braavos Wallet directly to a centralized exchange. You simply purchase crypto on Elbaite and have it sent straight to your Braavos address, or send funds directly from your wallet to a buyer when you are ready to sell. This guarantees you maintain 100% control of your assets throughout the entire process.

History and Background

Braavos was founded in early 2022 by Motty Lavie, Abraham Makov, and Yoav Gaziel with a clear mission: to eliminate the friction of onboarding new users to crypto. Recognizing that complex seed phrases and clunky transaction signing were massive barriers to entry, the team built Braavos specifically on Starknet to take full advantage of native Account Abstraction. Braavos quickly made headlines by introducing the "Hardware Signer," a revolutionary feature that uses a mobile device's built-in secure enclave (like Face ID or Touch ID) to secure the wallet, completely removing the need for users to write down or memorize a seed phrase.

What is Braavos Wallet Used For?

Braavos is designed to make decentralized finance (DeFi) on Starknet incredibly fast, cheap, and secure for both beginners and power users.

  • Seedless Security (Hardware Signer): Utilizing your phone's biometric sensors, the Hardware Signer turns your device into a hardware wallet. You can sign transactions simply by scanning your face or fingerprint, drastically reducing the risk of phishing attacks or lost recovery phrases.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA/3FA): Users can set up advanced security layers, requiring multiple approvals (such as a hardware signer plus a browser extension) before a high-value transaction can be executed.
  • Built-in dApp Gallery: The wallet features an integrated gallery to easily discover and connect to top decentralized applications, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi protocols within the Starknet ecosystem.
  • Native Staking & Swapping: Users can swap tokens effortlessly within the wallet and participate in native Starknet staking to earn yield on their idle assets.

Supported Assets and Networks

Braavos is highly specialized, focusing its architecture entirely on providing the best possible experience within the Starknet ecosystem.

  • Supported Blockchains: Exclusively operates on Starknet, an Ethereum Layer 2 ZK-Rollup known for its ultra-low gas fees and fast finality.
  • Supported Assets: Deep support for all Starknet-native assets and bridged tokens, including Ethereum (ETH), Starknet Token (STRK), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and major stablecoins like USDC and USDT. It also supports Starknet-based NFTs.
