Status

What Status is

Status combines a crypto wallet, messenger, and browser in one app. Its wallet supports sending, swapping, and bridging crypto, alongside a token list that updates live from decentralized exchanges across multiple chains. The messenger provides decentralized messaging with metadata privacy and end-to-end encryption by default. Status says users can use it without a phone number, email, bank card, or social media account. It supports token-gated communities, which users can create and administer in the desktop app. Running Status Desktop also contributes to keeping the Waku peer-to-peer messaging network decentralized. The Status Wallet Connector extension links Status to decentralized applications while keeping keys inside Status, and Keycard is a secure contactless hardware wallet that can be used with it. Status is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and as an extension. The project is open source, and Status Research & Development GmbH is identified as its maker. The free plan costs nothing, with no ads, paid tier, or imposed limits.
