Good news, everyone! The long-awaited HERE Wallet is now available on Android!
This is important for many reasons: it gives Android device owners access to the NEAR Protocol, as well as it enables many new features. The App Store severely restricts crypto apps, prohibits almost all NFT-related features, charges commission fees on sales and in-app subscriptions, and much more. With Android, these restrictions are lifted, allowing for greater functionality and flexibility.
What about user’s privacy and security?
Unfortunately, there is no universal secure storage options on Android, like Apple Keychain, and even Google services are not supported on all devices. To protect your data, we have implemented the transaction signature to a separate, secure module that encrypts the passphrase with a secret key and your password. We are also working on supporting hardware wallets, so you can store your private key off of your phone.
There are no secure ways to protect against spam on Android, so we have to limit the free username giveaway to 1,000 per day for first-time downloaders of the app.
Are Android and IOS Apps Different?
No, it’s a single HERE app, but more features are available on Android due to the more flexible rules of Google Play.
What Features are Currently Available in the Android App?
In the Android app, all the features of HERE are available. There are some of the key ones:
- Non-blocking staking with up to 10% APY
- Sending NEAR/USDC to anyone with just a phone number, even without a wallet
- Access to all top NEAR projects
- Access to 25 local tokens through a DEX aggregator
- NFT Avatar viewing
- Purchasing NEAR with a card or any cryptocurrency
