Once on the home page, tap on the 'Wallet' to get started.
Your Swype wallet is a non-custodial, multi-chain wallet. Lotta buzzwords? Here's what that means:
When creating a new wallet, Swype stores your seed key on your device keychain. Your seed-key is a kind of password that is used to unlock the wallet and spend funds from it. You can optionally also backup your wallet to iCloud, to ensure that you never lose your seed key (unless of course apple is hacked )
To verify that Swype is non-custodial, you can use wire-shark, and detect outgoing packets to Swype servers.
Swype never sees your seed key. Your seed key is never sent to our servers, and is stored locally on your phone.
As of today, Swype supports the following blockchains:
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Arbitrum
Optimism
Polygon
This means that your wallet can view funds on each of these chains. We're working to add support for more blockchains soon!
