Multi-chain Wallet Core - Store and Manage multiple assets

As the market shifts and expands to other blockchain platforms aside from Ethereum, different problems start to emerge. Users now not only demand to store and manage assets on just Ethereum and Bitcoin, but also on many more blockchain platforms, such as BSC, Heco, Solana, Cosmos, Polygon, etc.

The biggest problem is that users have to manage too much information when they store assets.

As the figure shows, you can clearly see that if users want to manage their assets in this Multi-Chain Era, they have 2 key information to take care of:

• Different wallet-supported apps: Metamask, Tronlink, Sollet, Rainbow, etc.
• Passphrases & Private Keys of all their wallets.

Moreover, users not only have 1 wallet, but many different wallets on a single blockchain, therefore, the wallet management process can be very time-consuming.

Coin98 Wallet’s solution

Coin98 Wallet has been developing the Multi-Chain Wallet that supports many blockchains with one single Passphrase.

Users can just access Coin98 Wallet and create a Multi-chain wallet to store assets on all supported blockchains. Especially, all these wallets are managed with only one single Passphrase.

Users can now store and manage their assets on multiple blockchains just by:

• Installing Coin98 Wallet.
• Storing 1 single Passphrase of the Multi-chain Wallet.

Eliminate the burdens of asset management with the Coin98 Wallet’s solution.

Multi-chain Swap - Swapping made easy

Coin98 Wallet’s objective is not only to become the best Crypto wallet, but also an Aggregator DApp that supports all services of the market in a decentralized, permissionless way.

The current problems of this market

As DeFi is growing rapidly, many blockchains have appeared and each blockchain contains numerous DApps and Protocols. Therefore, if beginners want to explore DeFi with different simple activities, such as Swapping, Lending, Staking, Saving, Voting,... they need to learn and hold a great amount of knowledge.

To use a simple feature as Swap in DeFi, users need to find out:

• Which blockchain those coins/tokens belong to.
• The wallets that support this blockchain.
• The AMMs that support trading those coins/tokens.

Even after getting ahold of those information, users still need to go through a long process as demonstrated below:

A few complicated steps in this 7-step process include:

• Installing the right wallet: There are thousands of different wallets in this market, and finding the right wallet is not simple.
• Choosing the right blockchain: Many wallets now support various blockchains that users need to choose from.
• Choosing the assets to swap: Many assets are not listed on AMMs, which requires users to find and insert the right contract addresses of those assets in order to swap.

As you can see, users have to go through a lot to complete just 1 simple swap. This process may seem easy for those swapping experts, but it is a burden for beginners.

That is the current problem of DeFi. DeFi is still complicated compared to CeFi services, making Mass Adoption harder to accomplish.

Coin98 Wallet’s solution

To solve this problem and make Swapping easier, Coin98 Wallet has integrated many top-tier AMMs on different blockchains.

Users can currently trade with almost all assets on the biggest AMMs on many popular blockchains, such as:

• Ethereum: UniSwap, SushiSwap.
• BSC: PancakeSwap V1, PancakeSwap V2.
• HecoChain: MDEX.
• Solana: Serum DEX V3.

By integrating those AMMs, Coin98 Wallet has shortened the steps, simplifying the Swapping process for users.

In addition, QuickSwap on Polygon and JulSwap on Tron will soon be integrated following the Coin98 Wallet version X.

Users now only need to complete 3 steps to swap on Coin98 Wallet:

1. Choose the assets they want to swap.
2. Click Swap.
3. Then start swapping on the chosen AMM.

The benefits of swapping on Coin98 Wallet

We can clearly see that swapping on Coin98 Wallet is easier and much faster. Users only need to complete 3 steps to swap instead of the usual 7 steps. Other benefits include:

• Users don’t need to research too much: Coin98 Wallet automates everything - choosing the correct blockchain, the wallet and the correct AMM.
• Fast & convenient trade: Trading on Coin98 Wallet doesn’t require much effort in connecting and changing between wallets.
• No need for Smart Contract: Coin98 Wallet’s system automatically updates all new tokens in the market quickly and precisely. Users can easily choose their assets while maintaining their security when trading.

Cross-Chain Bridge V1 - Converting assets between blockchains

When DeFi started to expand to other blockchains, the demand for converting assets between blockchains has increased more than ever.

To fulfill this demand, Coin98 Wallet has released the Cross-Chain Bridge V1, currently supports converting tokens between 4 blockchains: Ethereum, BSC, Tron, Solana.

The Cross-Chain Bridge’s operation model

Coin98 Wallet’s Cross-Chain Bridge applies the Liquidity Pool model, allowing Liquidity Providers to add liquidity to different pools, so that when users take the assets from these Pools, LPs will receive the transaction fees.

The special thing about our Cross-Chain Bridge compared to other Bridges is that it has the automatic Rebalance mechanism.

For example: When there is a large amount of USDT ERC20 waiting to be converted into USDT SPL, the amount of USDT in the ERC20 Pool will largely increase, and the amount of USDT in the SPL Pool will decrease. Coin98 Wallet’s Cross-Chain Bridge will then automatically convert one part of USDT ERC20 into USDT SPL to ensure the proper liquidity for users.

Let’s go deeper into the technical side of the Coin98 Wallet’s Cross-Chain Bridge model. For example, when you’re converting USDT ERC20 into USDT SPL, the technical process goes as follows:

1. First of all, your USDT ERC20 will be sent to the ERC20 Pool of the Cross-Chain Bridge.
2. This Pool is covered by a Smart Contract, so that when there’s an amount of USDT sent to this Pool, the Smart Contract will send a Call command to the Pool’s Validators.
3. After receiving the Call command, the Validators of this ERC20 Pool will confirm with the Validator of the SPL Pool.
4. The Validator of the SPL Pool will check if this amount of USDT has gone into the ERC20 Pool. If not, the whole process will be rolled back.
5. If USDT has gone into the ERC20 Pool, the Validator will call a command to the Smart Contract of the SPL Pool, asking to send USDT SPL to the previously assigned address.
6. The SPL Pool will then send the corresponding amount of USDT to the users’ SPL wallet address.

That is how the whole process goes internally every time you use the Coin98 Wallet’s Cross-Chain Bridge.

The transaction fee wouldn’t be equally divided between all LPs, but only between LPs that provided the liquidity for that certain transaction: LPs of the ERC20 and SPL Pools in this case. Therefore, the APY in these Pools can be different.

The benefits of using the Cross-Chain Bridge on Coin98 Wallet

• Fast & convenient: Users don’t need to deposit and withdraw their assets on CEXs, which can be time consuming.
• No slippage: The conversion rate is always 1:1.
• Supports various blockchains: Most Bridges only support 2 - 3 blockchains or only EVM chains, while Coin98 Wallet supports converting any token on any chain.

Cross-Chain Bridge is now available on the Coin98 Mobile Wallet, read the instructions on how to use Cross-Chain Bridge on Coin98 Wallet for more information.

The potential for development of the Cross-Chain Bridge

As you can see from the model above, Coin98 Wallet’s Cross-Chain Bridge needs 2 main factors to operate: the Smart Contract and the Validator.

Once these factors are completed, the Cross-Chain Bridge can easily assist in converting other assets, such as BTC, ETH, LINK on more blockchains (BSC, Solana, Tron, Avalanche, Cosmos,...)

The Cross-Chain Bridge currently supports converting stablecoins between 4 blockchains: ERC20, TRC20, BEP20, SPL, and more types of assets will be supported in the near future.

Markets

Markets is a feature that provides all crucial information of the market such as market cap, trading volume, BTC Dominance, ETH Gas Gwei,... for users to gain a general understanding of the market’s current situation.

Coin98 Wallet is still developing this feature. In the future, with Market, you will be able to view not only the general information of the wallet, but also the specific statistics of different projects.

Portfolio

The problem

Coin98 Multi-Chain Wallet is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet that allows users to store their multi-chain assets. Then how do users manage their assets from CEXs?

Coin98 Wallet’s solution

Coin98 Wallet has developed Coin98 Portfolio, allowing users to keep track of their assets easily in 2 ways:

• Connect API with CEXs.
• Create their own Portfolio.

To manage your portfolio from CEX platforms, complete 2 steps below:

1. Go to the Exchange platform, find the API section, then copy the API Key and the Secret Key of your wallet.
2. Paste the API Key and the Secret Key into the Coin98 Portfolio.

To create a Portfolio on Coin98 Wallet, complete these 2 steps:

1. Access Portfolio, create and name your new portfolio.
2. Add your tokens, the buying price & the amount.

With Coin98 Wallet’s Portfolio, you can manage your assets all in one place, including:

• The assets in non-custodial wallets.
• The assets on CEX platforms.
• Other personal assets you manage.

DApp Store - Bringing the whole DeFi to users

As I mentioned, the goal of Coin98 Wallet doesn’t stop at becoming the leading digital wallet application. Aside from optimizing the Swap feature, Coin98 Wallet also provides a DApp Store to serve the needs of users.

The problem

After storing and trading on Coin98 Wallet, if users want to do other activities on DeFi such as Lending, Staking, Farming, Voting, etc, what should they do?

Similar to the Swapping process, for beginners of DeFi, they first need to find information, conduct researches and go through many complicated steps, for example:

• Find Lending, Staking, Farming,... Protocols.
• Find out which blockchain this Protocol belongs to.
• Find out which types of wallet are supported on this Protocol.
• Install the wallet, connect & choose the wallet, select the blockchain, etc.

Moreover, after setting up, using a Protocol is not simple at all.

Coin98 Wallet’s solution

Coin98 Wallet solves this problem by providing a DApp Store with many different categories:

• Exchanges: SushiSwap (Ethereum), Uniswap (Ethereum), PancakeSwap (Binance Smart Chain), MDEX (Huobi ECO Chain), 1inch (Ethereum & Binance Smart Chain),...
• Finance: Compound, Aave, yearn.finance, Curve, Zapper, Zerion…
• Starter: Duckstater, Polkastarter, Poolz.
• Farm & Stake: Luaswap, UBU Finance, Ox staking, Duckfarm, Lido Staking…
• Utilities: Bidali, Snapshot, Keep3R Network.
• Games: CryptoKitties, PoolTogether….

And many more! Users can just choose their preferred category, select a DApp and jump right into action. Coin98 Wallet will take care of the rest: choose the correct blockchain and select a wallet.

The benefits of using the DApp Store on Coin98 Wallet

The objective of Coin98 Wallet is to bring an outstanding experience to users from the smallest details. When using the DApp Store on Coin98 Wallet, you can use different Protocols for multiple purposes easily and conveniently, as:

• Coin98 Wallet currently supports many DApps, allowing you to perform different activities with a faster connection speed.
• Coin98 Wallet automatically selects the correct blockchain and connects to all wallets on this blockchain, enabling you to instantly use any Protocol.

Aggregate and optimize the user experience, that’s how Coin98 Wallet solves the current problems in DeFi nowadays.

Multi-Chain Wallet Engine - The future of this Wallet market

Multi-Chain Wallet Engine is a unique feature that makes Coin98 Wallet distinctive from other Multi-Chain wallets in the market.

Basically, the Multi-Chain Wallet Engine allows activating all wallets at the same time.

You’ll see these benefits clearly when using Protocols in the DApp Store on Coin98 Wallet.

The problem

When users conduct transactions with multiple wallets on a Protocol, if they want to switch wallets, they need to go to the Dashboard of the wallet they’re using and switch to another wallet, then connect this wallet to the Protocol again.

The reason is that you can only connect 1 wallet to the Protocol at a time, therefore, you need to switch between wallets and reconnect to the Protocol multiple times.

How does the Multi-Chain Wallet Engine technology solve the problem?

With the Multi-Chain Wallet Engine, wallets on different blockchains are activated at the same time once you access any DApp on Coin98 Wallet.

Therefore, you can instantly make a transaction with this Protocol, while switching between wallets and blockchains right on its website. There’s no need to go back to the Coin98 Wallet’s Dashboard.

The benefits of using the Multi-Chain Wallet Engine on Coin98 Wallet

Overall, when the wallets on all blockchains are activated at the same time, you can connect and switch between wallets, as well as between blockchains more easily and conveniently.

The process is only shortened by 1 - 2 steps, however, Coin98 Wallet believes that these 1 - 2 steps can drastically enhance your DeFi experience in a seamless & flawless way.

The potential of the Multi-Chain Wallet Engine

Nowadays, most Protocols operate on only 1 single chain at a time, therefore, users only need to use 1 wallet instead of multiple at a time to interact with a Protocol.

However, Coin98 believes Cross-Chain is the future. When the single blockchains are constantly growing, different Cross-Chain Protocols will rise to help exchange values between chains. These Protocols support multiple chains at once, therefore, a wallet needs to support multiple chains as well in order to connect with them.

The Multi-Chain Wallet Engine was made for this future: when all wallets on all single chains are activated, users can easily access these Cross-Chain Protocols.

Coin98 is also developing a Cross-Chain product: Coin98 Exchange. We’ll save this unique product and its in-depth information for another article.
