What does this mean for THORSwap Users?

THORSwap users can now connect wallets on multiple chains simultaneous — with the security of a hardware wallet interface, to use all functions such as Swap, earn, lending, staking, LP, THORName management and more:

This seamless functionality is only made possible thanks to SwapKit SDK and KeepKey team’s contributions to the open-source codebase.

KeepKey Client: Bridging the Gap

KeepKey’s Client App serves a critical function for both managing assets securely as well as an avenue for KeepKey hardware wallet users to explore and utilize an array of blockchain apps and services. Now fully integrated into SwapKit SDK which powers THORSwap, the THORSwap app can be also seamlessly accessed within the client app. This enables seamless simultaneous connection of wallet addresses on supported blockchains (Polkadot currently unavailable) without the need to switch chains.

Key Benefits of this Integration

  1. Advanced Security: THORSwap’s integration within KeepKey allows users to manage and swap assets directly through their KeepKey hardware wallets. This ensures that users’ private keys never leave the safety of their hardware device, thus reinforcing the security tenets that THORSwap and DeFi stand for.
  2. Driving Adoption of Cross-Chain Swaps: This partnership is instrumental in broadening THORSwap’s user base and advancing the capabilities of SwapKit SDK. Being featured directly in KeepKey gives THORSwap exposure to a highly engaged and security-conscious audience. Users can perform seamless swaps between different blockchains, bypassing the need for centralized exchanges and embracing the full potential of decentralization.
  3. Fostering a Unified Ecosystem: KeepKey’s intuitive interface coupled with THORSwap’s ground-breaking swapping capabilities fosters an ecosystem where users can manage and trade assets effortlessly. This integration creates a synergy that magnifies the inherent strengths of both platforms.
  4. Enabling access to the full suite of THORChain DeFi products with added security and privacy.
