Supra Debuts Its Multichain Smart Wallet StarKey Ahead Of Token Generation Event

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with a penchant for innovative technologies and a knack for spotting potential winners, I find the recent development of Supra’s StarKey Wallet quite intriguing. Having navigated through the turbulent waters of the blockchain industry since its inception, I can attest to the importance of robust security measures, interoperability, and user-friendly interfaces when it comes to crypto wallets.

Supra, a decentralized oracle price feeds protocol, has unveiled the instant accessibility of their new self-custodial and multichain StarKey Wallet, marking another significant step in expanding their ecosystem following the release of their Layer-1 blockchain.

The StarKey Wallet is renowned for spearheading an advanced level of security in crypto space, a feature called “Split Key Recovery”. This groundbreaking technology originates from a forward-thinking company within the Web3 sector, recognized for its creative price oracles, Moonshot consensus mechanism, bridges, verifiable random functions, and automation abilities.

In contrast to well-established oracle systems like ChainLink and Flare Network, Supra stands out, addressing interoperability issues that hinder communication between blockchains and external systems. One of its most recognized offerings is the Supra Distributed Oracle Agreement, facilitating access to over 475 price feeds and serving as a crucial link in transmitting real-world data to approximately 80 distinct blockchain networks. This oracle validates and transmits real-world data to blockchains, enabling decentralized applications on those networks to utilize this information via smart contracts. For example, Supra’s price feeds are frequently utilized by decentralized exchange platforms to monitor the latest trends in digital asset prices.

In addition to being recognized for various services, Supra is also renowned for its decentralized Verifiable Random Function (VRF), a tool that produces random numbers for distributed applications (dApps) aiming to demonstrate their randomness.

A New Standard For Crypto Wallets

The latest Supra StarKey Wallet serves as the main tool for users to engage with Supra’s fresh Layer-1 blockchain. It was stealthily introduced last week in a Chrome web browser extension format, and it will soon be accessible as a mobile app on Android and iOS devices. Additionally, further browser extensions for Brave and Firefox are in development.

According to Supra, over 130,000 people have downloaded StarKey since its Chrome extension launch, highlighting the strong and enthusiastic following it’s been able to build. Users seem equally impressed, as it has received more than 300 five-star reviews.

The positive reception stems from a number of novel features available in StarKey, including the new Split Key Recovery feature, which is an entirely new way for users to back up their all-important private keys. It’s a technique that splits the recovery key into three separate fragments, with one stored in the cloud, another saved locally on the user’s device, and the third going to a designated “guardian”. To recover the wallet, the user only needs two of the three fragments, along with their password. This ensures much better protection against hackers, Supra insists, pointing out that traditional non-custodial wallets allow users to download their recovery key as a single file, making it much easier to steal. 

One smart aspect of StarKey is its multichain compatibility, which employs similar techniques as Supra’s oracle to link with various external blockchains. As a result, users can employ their StarKey wallet across top networks like Ethereum, Aptos, Sui, and Solana, accessing assets from each of these platforms.

According to Supra, the project is still under development. While the wallet can be accessed immediately, there are numerous additional features in the works, with StarKey Assist being one of the highly anticipated ones. This feature will provide automated alerts about gas fees, asset detection, and price fluctuations. Additionally, a new Auto-Detect Networks Custom Gas Trigger is being developed. This tool will allow users to automatically execute transactions when the gas fee reaches their preferred cost, enabling them to capitalize on opportunities when transaction costs are lower.

To verify that the wallet’s code does not contain any weaknesses or loopholes, it has previously been evaluated by CD Security – a well-known cybersecurity company specializing in Web3.

Joshua Tobkin, CEO of Supra, stated that these innovative new features elevate the standard for what users can anticipate from a self-managed digital wallet. He expressed that the positive reaction received within the first few days of launch underscores the crypto community’s shared sentiment. Tobkin believes that StarKey Wallet is well-positioned to become the preferred choice for Web3 enthusiasts and developers.

Paving the way for Supra’s TGE 

1. StarKey stands out as it’s the only wallet that will accommodate Supra’s native SUPRA token, making it an essential item once this asset is released in the coming months. Supra plans to debut its L1 mainnet and carry out its Token Generation Event later this year, with StarKey serving as a significant landmark on their roadmap. The eagerly awaited TGE has already been prepared for by over 512,000 members of the Supra community who have completed the Know Your Customer process necessary to obtain these tokens upon launch.
