What it is
Status combines a cryptocurrency wallet, messenger, and browser in one application. The wallet supports sending, swapping, and bridging crypto, with a live token list synchronized from decentralized exchanges across multiple chains. Messaging is decentralized and provides metadata privacy with end-to-end encryption by default. Status says users need no phone number, email, bank card, or social media account. It supports token-gated communities, and the desktop app can create and administer them. Running Status Desktop contributes to decentralizing the Waku peer-to-peer messaging network. The Status Wallet Connector extension links the wallet to decentralized applications while keeping keys inside Status; Keycard is a compatible secure contactless hardware wallet. Status runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and as an extension. The free plan costs nothing, with no ads, paid tier, or imposed limits. The project is open source.
