by

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the introduction of Ctrl Wallet’s browser extension is a game-changer for self-custody solutions. Having navigated through countless wallet interfaces and blockchain networks over the years, I can attest to the convenience this unified portfolio view brings. The ease of managing assets across multiple accounts and blockchains from a single dashboard is something I’ve longed for in my journey.

Control, previously recognized as XDEFI, recently announced the specifics about launching their all-inclusive self-custody cryptocurrency platform in web browsers. This wallet will support major blockchain networks and includes a gas optimization feature to ensure seamless trading and exceptional liquidity management.

Ctrl (former XDEFI) introduces browser crypto wallet extension

Control, the wallet service that gained popularity under the name XDEFI, has introduced a fresh browser add-on. This extension empowers users to handle their assets across more than 2,100 blockchains, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), Cosmos (ATOM) and THORChain (RUNE).

The last step in our transition from XDEFI to Ctrl Wallet is rapidly approaching!

Upon launch, the XDEFI Extension will automatically upgrade to the Ctrl Wallet Extension – no intervention required.

The upcoming addition from Ctrl is anticipated to simplify the process of self-managing digital assets across numerous blockchains. This enhancement includes features such as cross-chain transactions, integration with decentralized applications (dApps), and portfolio management tools.

Working with this extension, traders and DeFi enthusiasts can effortlessly navigate multiple blockchains without ever having to switch interfaces.

Control Wallet’s combined portfolio perspective offers improved user-friendliness, allowing individuals to handle their investments spread across numerous accounts and blockchains from a single, consolidated interface.

As a researcher, I find that this perspective offers users an uncomplicated way to monitor their investments without much hassle. What’s more, it enables users to revisit funds they might have inadvertently overlooked. With the portfolio overview at hand, users can swiftly identify assets distributed across multiple accounts – including those long-forgotten accounts connected to a single seed phrase or obscure tokens on tailored networks.

With Gas Tank, users can pay all gas fees in USDC, CTRL

One notable aspect of this extension is the Gas Tank, designed to alleviate a significant issue in the crypto world – high gas fees. With the Gas Tank, users can settle all on-chain fees using a unified balance of either USD Coin ($USDC) or Control Token ($CTRL), regardless of which blockchain they’re operating on.

Through reducing the requirement for managing several tokens for transaction fees, Ctrl Wallet offers a more seamless and streamlined user experience across various networks.

Emile Dubié, a cofounder and CEO at Ctrl, emphasizes the potentially transformative effect of the Gas Tank feature, which can be beneficial across different Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications.

With the Gas Tank, we’re revolutionizing self-custody by simplifying cross-chain interactions. Users no longer need to worry about handling various gas tokens, making their experience smoother and more straightforward. This debut marks a substantial leap towards making self-custody as hassle-free and user-friendly as it can be.

Control Wallet has experienced substantial growth lately, boasting over 500,000 users, making it one of the top five multi-ecosystem wallets with top ratings in the Google Chrome Store. Existing XDEFI Wallet users can look forward to their accounts and funds being seamlessly transferred to Control Wallet, granting them immediate access to the extension’s cutting-edge features.
