Cryptocurrency Wallet Development | A Guide for Investors

Cryptocurrency wallets are a must for users who want to invest in cryptocurrencies. Their increased creation, as well as their use, indicate how rapidly the popularity of decentralized digital money is growing. Market data provider Statista revealed that by the end of the first half of 2019, the number of blockchain wallet users rose to over 40 million. As per the report, that represents a significant increase from less than 8 million users in the second quarter of 2016. It has led to a sharp rise in crypto wallet development services that enable users to own a cryptocurrency wallet and store, send, and receive crypto coins. 

Now, you might also think that providing users with cryptocurrency wallets is a viable business model that can ensure long-term profitability and that you can adopt.

However, it requires to fulfill the essential requirements of users like security, user experience, features, and more. It requires detailed planning and execution of the project, as well as the assistance of an experiential crypto wallet development company like Oodles Blockchain. 

So, let’s take a look at how we develop a cryptocurrency wallet application or platform like the ones key players offer. 

Cryptocurrency Wallet Development

Wallet Types 

Before anything, it is essential to determine which type of wallet development you want to offer. There are four main types of wallets, Hardware, Mobile, Desktop, and Mobile. Currently, mobile crypto wallets are the most preferred option due to the convenience of use for users. 

Web-Based Wallet

A web wallet, also referred to as an electronic wallet, enables users to access it with an internet connection. As long as the web wallet remains linked to the internet, users can send, receive, or access crypto coins.

Our blockchain developers are skilled in developing custom web wallets strengthened with industry-leading security measures, self-explanatory design, and smooth incorporation into an exchange enable.

Why Build a Web Wallet? 

• Suitable for quick transactions 
• Makes multiple cryptocurrencies manageable 
• Ideal for holding minimum cryptocurrency 
• Convenient to use while away

Mobile Wallet

A mobile wallet on a smartphone is similar to a mobile application. With a mobile wallet, users can access it with internet connectivity anywhere, much like a web wallet.

We have experience in creating mobile crypto-currency wallets based on mnemonics for iOS and Android platforms. Whether you need a multi-cryptocurrency wallet or a single cryptocurrency, we provide world-class features to improve user experience and protection.

Why Create a Mobile Wallet? 

• Efficient to send and receive on-the-go crypto asset 
• Can be improved with additional features, including 
• Authentication with biometric effect 
• QR code support for easy scanning of your wallet address 
• Supporting Near Field Communication (NFC)

Desktop Wallet

A desktop wallet used for sending, receiving, and storing cryptocurrencies, especially when not connected to the internet, is one of the safest options. 

We build customized, highly secure desktop wallets to suit the needs of our customers. A clear roadmap combined with a mission-driven strategy navigates our wallet creation cycle to ensure more rapid and trouble-free delivery.

Why Build a Desktop Wallet? 

• More secure – no private keys stored on a third-party server are not stored 
• Easy Usability  
• Needs no internet access when used as cold storage
