#1 Best Crypto Wallet for DeFi RIGHT NOW (Major MetaMask Killer?!) | XDEFI Wallet Explained - YouTube

Channel: unknown

[0]
so xdefi wallet is better than metamask quite simply聽 because it's multi-chain and while metamask it's聽聽
[6]
primarily ethereum EVM that's it with the xdefi聽 wallet it's compatible with more than ethereum聽聽
[14]
correct so
[21]
all right welcome back everybody to altcoin聽 daily my name is austin here with aaron聽聽
[26]
and joined by founder emil dubay of cross chain聽 wallet xdefi which is known as the metamask killer聽聽
[35]
emil thanks for joining thanks for having me聽 guys yeah for sure man and um i would love to聽聽
[43]
just tee it off i think our audience has seen聽 announcements in the news you guys have a lot聽聽
[47]
of notable backers for the xdefi wallet for somebody聽 who's never heard of it before what is xdefi wallet聽聽
[55]
okay so simply put this is basically a cross-chain聽 wallet that allows you to interact with different聽聽
[61]
blockchain ecosystems that allows you to聽 send receive and store any type of tokens聽聽
[66]
respective of the native chain聽 um yeah i'll put it this way聽聽
[70]
put it simply and why is it better than metamask聽 which has market domination at the moment yeah so聽聽
[78]
i mean like a big fan of what metamask has聽 achieved you know i've been an early user聽聽
[83]
and i think today in the current environment聽 we're seeing like a multi-chain space really聽聽
[89]
emerging with you know at the end of last year聽 first with binance smart chain then with solana聽聽
[95]
most recently like a terra and plenty of聽 of different evm based networks as well聽聽
[101]
today you do need to have a tool that allows you聽 to interact with all of these different ecosystems聽聽
[107]
and today if you if you look into what聽 are the alternatives to to define wallet聽聽
[114]
it's mainly um focusing on on one single chain聽 meaning that like if you are a user that is an聽聽
[121]
agnostic and you want to you know android at聽 its fullest all of these different ecosystem you聽聽
[128]
basically need to have like several wallets which聽 is not ideal because it impedes a new ability to聽聽
[134]
uh you know jump from an ecosystem to another in a聽 timely manner but also have to deal with different聽聽
[142]
you know seed phrases and and and and etc so that聽 that's really what i think uh xdefi wallet is uh聽聽
[148]
interesting for because it allows you to be fast聽 in moving from an ecosystem to another and also uh聽聽
[154]
have everything in one place which you know in聽 the context of a multi-chain space uh uh makes聽聽
[160]
sense so xdefi wallet is better than metamask quite聽 simply because it's multi-chain and while metamask聽聽
[168]
is primarily ethereum evm that's it with the xdefi聽 wallet it's compatible with more than ethereum聽聽
[176]
correct so i think i'm never trying to compare聽 ourselves too much to other wallets and聽聽
[181]
and including metamask i think metamask is doing聽 a lot of things well i think we're doing other聽聽
[185]
things that are that are that are um uh great聽 right um so the way i will put it is that today聽聽
[191]
metamask is great for the evm uh ecosystem in聽 general um and uh xdefi wallet is basically giving聽聽
[198]
you the ability to also interact with聽 other ecosystems covered by metamask and i don't聽聽
[203]
think will ever be covered by them uh including聽 for instance store chain uh terra um uh you know聽聽
[209]
utxos like bitcoin like bitcoin cash and much more to聽 come like solana for instance uh uh and so on okay聽聽
[218]
because right now you can't uh correct me if i'm聽 wrong you can't have bitcoin on a metamask wallet聽聽
[224]
right you wouldn't be able to i mean you probably聽 would have like a wrapped bitcoin but not native聽聽
[228]
assets uh which is if if you are if you are a聽 bitcoin person is uh what matters to you totally聽聽
[237]
so just so i'm clear what blockchains are you聽 guys integrated in right now and what's the聽聽
[242]
future hold so today we have ethereum bitcoin聽 binance chain binance smart chain polygon聽聽
[250]
uh thorchain uh litecoin bitcoin cash am i missing聽 something terra is basically going to be released聽聽
[260]
really soon as in uh you know in a few days聽 uh stay tuned uh and uh and then avalanche is聽聽
[267]
going to be there soon it's already integrated聽 we're testing it right now working a little bit聽聽
[271]
on a few stuff around that and聽 then it's going to be released聽聽
[274]
then we're looking into phantom and orbitrum and聽 most likely going to be solana end of q4 awesome聽聽
[281]
and was there a was there a certain what like聽 inspired you to create this was there a certain聽聽
[287]
moment a certain lack of functionality like i see聽 what it does but why was this important to you聽聽
[294]
so all right so i think you know it's first as a聽 user and it comes down to me being like an earlier聽聽
[300]
you know community member of the torch and聽 ecosystem back in like at the end of 2019聽聽
[305]
at the time so my background is more like you know聽 financial markets and like i was already investing聽聽
[309]
in space and i kind of changed my uh uh investment聽 thesis in 2019 kind of like anticipating that uh聽聽
[316]
the entire ecosystem would become like wikichain聽 i used to be like a really atm focused person聽聽
[323]
and i think at the time this is when i started聽 looking into like uh projects that would like um聽聽
[329]
try to work and and then improve the interrupt聽 interoperability between different chains and i聽聽
[334]
think this is when i discovered the door chain uh聽 earlier in uh uh 2020 started discussing with the聽聽
[341]
cultimate torture and trying to understand how i聽 can you know involve myself outside of you know聽聽
[345]
running a node or doing stuff like that creating聽 our witches arbitrage bots and see how you know聽聽
[351]
really we could support like the growth of of the聽 center ecosystem that was like a uh uh emerging聽聽
[357]
little by little so after a few discussions we聽 realized that like uh what was really required聽聽
[362]
for this ecosystem to work out and also for users聽 to you know interact seamlessly uh with all the ui聽聽
[367]
interfaces that are powered by torching uh uh聽 well basically the tool that was required the聽聽
[372]
infrastructure tool that was required was like聽 a cross-chain wallet extension um so you know聽聽
[377]
we looked a little bit into like the the the the聽 wallet extension market um really different on the聽聽
[383]
mobile wallet market which is absolutely saturated聽 uh uh and we realized that like only metamask was聽聽
[389]
out there and obviously as we just said metamask聽 was only focusing on um on on evm based networks聽聽
[396]
uh uh therefore uh we needed to come up with聽 something so at first we we started like really聽聽
[401]
like uh with the mentality of like helping聽 the torturing community helping the torsion聽聽
[405]
ecosystem to grow uh and allowing like a a an easy聽 interaction with all the the the ui inflation that聽聽
[411]
would be built on on on project that's how we聽 talked about it xd5 ape xd5 wallet eight mode聽聽
[420]
can you explain that all right so i didn't mention聽 that so basically we've worked with block native聽聽
[425]
on that um to make sure that uh the eip1559 was聽 hopefully better implemented than in other wallets聽聽
[433]
because it's not a concept that is super聽 easy to understand and at the same time i聽聽
[437]
think today what really matters for people uh聽 is to actually like uh be able to ate fast uh聽聽
[443]
uh uh and that's why we use the term eight mode聽 especially if it's like mint with nfts or if it's聽聽
[447]
like a tool that you want to to to jump in quickly聽 like you know your ability to to uh to be included聽聽
[453]
in the next block uh is actually what defines聽 whether you're going to see the opportunity聽聽
[458]
or another so that's why we came uh we came up聽 with the eight mode leverage like the technology聽聽
[462]
provided by block native to make sure that聽 like users are able to be included at 99.9 uh聽聽
[469]
uh uh um uh into the the next block so that that's聽 how we we came up with uh this uh this new feature聽聽
[477]
cool cool so eight mode does it cost more聽 and then you get priority in the block聽聽
[482]
yeah well it does cost a little bit more obviously聽 but it does give you priority in the block and it聽聽
[488]
does make sure that you're included in the next聽 block again not 100 but really close enough聽聽
[495]
but that's really important for like the nft聽 space i feel um xd5 wallet built for nfts聽聽
[501]
is that correct could you explain that yeah so聽 obviously we call xd5 right so i wouldn't say like聽聽
[507]
it's block only it's built only for nfgs uh um but聽 it's definitely built to cut off for both defined聽聽
[513]
and energy users uh we are all in the team like聽 massive fan of nft that thing who isn't at this聽聽
[519]
stage and that's awesome actually that so many聽 people are you know able to jump into web3 because聽聽
[524]
they they they go via the nft route um so we are聽 indeed a wallet that is focusing heavily obviously聽聽
[532]
on defy users but on dnf space as well why because聽 i do feel that today i mean actually tomorrow and聽聽
[539]
possible today uh the the the next instagram聽 pinterest of the nft uh environments are gonna聽聽
[546]
be wallets right people that don't want to be聽 managing the nfc is displaying the nft showing of聽聽
[550]
the nfcs on third party interfaces that they have聽 to first connect with the wallets i mean the ux is聽聽
[555]
not great when when when it comes down to that so聽 really like the ambition for x5 wallet is not only聽聽
[561]
to allow you to display your energies uh but聽 also to manage them uh in in in the easiest聽聽
[568]
fashion possible um so um there are a lot聽 of things that we're doing around that聽聽
[573]
uh it's not gonna be only possible to send聽 entities from a wallet to another to send聽聽
[577]
you know for instance a link to a friend to a聽 family member or anyone else to show off your聽聽
[582]
your nft collection it's also going to be聽 possible for you to sell in one click uh nfts聽聽
[587]
we we're looking into integrating in f20 right聽 now uh uh within the wallet directly but also聽聽
[593]
deposit to nft as a collateral uh and potentially聽 like buy nfts uh with friends uh etc so a lot of聽聽
[600]
different things we can do at the nft level um and聽 uh and we're passionate about it so hopefully like聽聽
[604]
people are gonna like it and you know we we we've聽 been discussing a lot with our community recently聽聽
[609]
around the nft theme and there are a lot of聽 of of ids brewing right now in the background聽聽
[615]
i think that's huge personally because nft space聽 is obviously blowing up and the fact that i can't聽聽
[621]
see an nft like in the most popular wallets now聽 like if i buy it i got to go to a different site聽聽
[626]
you know that's uh that's what you want聽 you want to see it you want to show it聽聽
[629]
off you want to experience it so i think聽 that'll be huge um is there a personal聽聽
[635]
nft that you own that you're pretty proud聽 of yeah uh i mean there are several like uh聽聽
[642]
i've sold too early like uh the blue chips聽 actually if i'm being perfectly honest with聽聽
[646]
you uh this being said um right now uh the uh the聽 the main nfc project that i'm uh that i'm uh um聽聽
[653]
uh basically like supporting is the the girl cat聽 gang i don't know if you heard about it but i聽聽
[657]
think it's uh it's uh it's uh it's it's pretty聽 good say it again good gang good at cat yeah
[667]
it's pretty cool like if you if you like i think聽 it's the next eight but you know like it's uh yeah聽聽
[672]
it's interesting definitely to uh to look into聽 this product i really like it we'll have to ape聽聽
[677]
into that one for sure um let's talk about the xd5聽 wallet token what is the use case for the token聽聽
[684]
just some things i've listed here staking claim聽 free rebates participate in governance systems聽聽
[690]
earn by learning but you know please yes so okay聽 i'll be really honest with you guys like i can't聽聽
[696]
really like uh comment on on that publicly uh聽 so i really encourage you to look at what's what聽聽
[702]
has been published via twitter and and other uh uh聽 medias uh uh around that but yeah i can't really聽聽
[710]
for regulatory reasons i'm assuming聽 because you're behind the project聽聽
[714]
okay we'll check the website yeah i've listed聽 staking in governance but honestly i get the聽聽
[719]
website would have more um generally speaking聽 about xd5 what do you wish more people understood
[728]
i mean okay so let's put it this way i do聽 believe that like uh you know blockchain聽聽
[735]
blockchain is still that's really a early and and聽 nascent stage today most of the people that are聽聽
[740]
gonna have like um you know like an interaction聽 with uh with with cryptos are going to be like聽聽
[745]
via binance kraken coinbase or or whatever uh but聽 if they really want to you know like to unleash聽聽
[752]
the full potential of web tree they're going to聽 have to move from a centralized action through聽聽
[756]
decentralized wallet one and this is really for聽 me at this stage that people are gonna jump into聽聽
[762]
a territory that is like more complicated聽 to understand and that requires them聽聽
[766]
to have like some tools available to them to聽 understand like how best they can you know聽聽
[770]
organize their opsec and also interact with all聽 the dabs that are offered to them out there um聽聽
[776]
as a wallet we are as a decentralized聽 wallet right we are like the first people聽聽
[783]
to onboard these new users these new聽 joiners that have actually no clue what聽聽
[787]
what they're going to do or maybe they have聽 like a little bit like of an understanding聽聽
[791]
of what they're going to do but it's quite limited聽 and we can basically uh um uh uh help them at the聽聽
[798]
very beginning of the learning curve about web3 to聽 try to to onboard them into this new environment聽聽
[804]
not just like into xd5 but like into the entire聽 web tree environment so uh we do believe that we聽聽
[811]
have a responsibility to help them understanding聽 and grasping like a concept around defined聽聽
[816]
energies and and this is exactly what we're going聽 to do we have different uh initiatives that are聽聽
[823]
going to be created a play to learn mechanism聽 which is how we call it and whereby people are聽聽
[829]
going to be able to complete milestones uh uh聽 uh of using the wallet and other uh interfaces聽聽
[835]
uh uh in connection with the with wallet um and uh聽 and hopefully that's gonna be successful i cannot聽聽
[841]
say too much about it i kind of want to say more聽 about it but i cannot say too much about it yet聽聽
[845]
uh but that that's basically going to be like聽 a a heavy focus of of the team and hopefully we聽聽
[851]
will help to uh you know cut off a wider adoption聽 of the the duet in role for sure for sure聽聽
[858]
and um xd5 wallet is backed by some very notable聽 backers alameda research animoka brands coin gecko聽聽
[866]
just to name a few that was impressive to聽 me but i guess as we're wrapping up this聽聽
[871]
interview um i feel like we learned a lot about聽 xd5 wallet um it does seem like you know it's聽聽
[876]
going to be pretty popular in the future i guess聽 final thoughts for the altcoin daily audience
[884]
oh for me you mean yeah if you have any final聽 thoughts i actually you know i'm saying if you聽聽
[888]
have something to say on the backers though i聽 mean like look the the way we are the way we are聽聽
[892]
uh uh uh thinking about like a building xd5 well聽 it is really simple like trying to build it like聽聽
[896]
for uh the end user so if you have any feedback聽 or anything like please we encourage you to try聽聽
[902]
