ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ 210+ Cross-chain channels
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ฅ User-friendly staking: DOT, KSM, GLMR, MOVR, PDEX, AZERO, TUR, CAPS, KMA
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ OpenGov & Governance v1 support
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ DApp browser with support for the Polkadot JS & MetaMask protocols
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ผ Access to RMRK & Statemine NFTs
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ฑ Hardware wallets support for Parity Signer & Ledger Nano X

ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ฆพ Secure & Open source
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ 40 000+ active users on both iOS/Android
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ๐ Funded by the Kusama & Moonbeam Treasuries, working with 110+ teams in the eco
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย In May 2022, our previous (2nd) Kusama Treasury proposal was approved, and now by November 2022 we have successfully delivered upon all the proposed features. Please refer to Nova Wallet demo #26 in order to review the features which we have delivered upon.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Our goal for Nova Wallet is to build and maintain a high quality, open source, community-focused, and feature rich mobile application, which will have no network biases and can function with no limitations/restrictions.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Apart from developing the Nova Wallet mobile application, our team is consistently contributing to the Polkadot ecosystem by providing open source SDKs, design assets, knowledge-sharing sessions, and infrastructure. Examples include:
- Substrate SDKs for iOS and Android development
- Nova Utils GitHub โ metadata & configs for networks, crowdloans, DApps, cross-chain transfers
- SubQuery API projects developed and hosted by Nova Wallet team
- Nova Assets Figma โ Polkadot eco tokens, networks, DApps
- Hosted metadata portal for Polkadot & Kusama ecosystem networks โ metadata portal for Parity Signer, ecosystem hardware wallet
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย This proposal covers the further development of Nova Wallet as a mobile application for the Polkadot ecosystem, allowing us to** expand upon the already large set of features** contained within Nova Wallet by introducing Agile Delegations for OpenGov, improving** Staking features**, and developing features suggested by the community.
The intended outcomes from this proposal:
- Implementation of this proposalโs feature set for the Nova Wallet iOS and Android apps (as described in The feature set of the proposal section)
- Public demos: every 2 weeks (see YouTube)
- Updates to AppStore / Google Play: every 1-4 weeks
- Open source iOS and Android mobile apps under Apache 2.0 license
- Open source iOS and Android Substrate SDKs under Apache 2.0 license

Fully support this proposal for funding - I've been a supporter of Nova receiving funding from the Polkadot treasury moving forward for a while now, as I believe that it's reached a critical mass where it is truly a shining example in the Polkadot/ Kusama ecosystem. I've generally not been a fan of mobile wallets, but recently Nova wallet convinced me otherwise - my only concern was the fugly blue colour scheme, but now that we have this new sexy midnight theme I can no longer FUD. At Basilisk/ HydraDX we really appreciate Nova's hosting of metadata for tools such as Parity Signer, allowing our users to safely custody their funds without us having Ledger integrations in place. I can also say that the Nova team are a pleasure to work with when it comes to supporting our Dapps and any feature requests we have. As a final note - Open gov has been quite a confusing new prospect for many, but I have found it extremely easy to vote on all referenda so far using the Nova app. The art of delegation is a bit too much for the average user (and requires polkadot.js explorer kek) so I'm overjoyed to see these guys taking up the challenge.
