@ivankhrenkov777 I would like to work on this issue.

[wackerow]

Thanks @ivankhrenkov777, have assigned for review.

Appreciate the offer @Dharmik79, need the wallet reviewed before moving forward with anything on the code side.

Hi @ivankhrenkov777, thank you for the thorough submission! We have recently updated our template asking also for information on fees and paid features in the app. Could you provide info on how the wallet earns money (if at all) from users? (eg 1% service fee on in-app swaps etc)

[ivankhrenkov777]

Hello @konopkja, Braavos Wallet is Free of charge, we don't have any paid features in the app.

[konopkja]

lgtm!! BUT:

just fyi @ivankhrenkov777 this would be the first wallet on the list that does not support mainnet and only one L2 - starknet - so ethereum.org has to figure out how to inform the users to align expectations.

We might need to edit the UI before moving forward with your listing to present for all wallets available chains. Hope that makes sense.

[ivankhrenkov777]

Thanks @konopkja

Actually, I think that Argent is in the list, and currently it supports L2 only (Starknet). Am I wrong?

[konopkja]

Thanks @konopkja

Actually, I think that Argent is in the list, and currently it supports L2 only (Starknet). Am I wrong?

good catch!! I think their mobile app is on mainnet + starknet, but browser extension is just starknet only atm.

Please allow us some time to figure appropriate steps out.
