How is Braavos different from other wallet solutions?

Last update - December 20, 2023

The difference between traditional wallets like Metamask and smart contract wallets are like the difference between old Nokia phones and the iPhone. Smart contract wallets are much more powerful and provide a significantly better UX.

Braavos has pioneered true two-factor authentication (2FA) and three-factor authentication (3FA) for the first time in self-custodial and decentralized crypto wallets, bringing order of magnitude stronger security with a significant better UX by allowing users to sign transactions similar to how they use Apple/Google Pay.
