Frontier Partners Avalanche To Expand Wallet Options

Frontier, a decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator, has announced a partnership with Avalanche to enable support for AVAX staking, NFTs, and TrueUSD (TUSD) in the Frontier application.

According to the announcement, the Frontier collaboration with Avalanche would expand the platform wallet’s options and functionalities provided to users within the Avalanche ecosystem.

Also, the partnership will enable more users to easily access decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on the platform as well as increasing the adoption of blockchain technology.

Expressing his excitement with the new development, John Wu, president of Ava Labs, noted that the collaboration was formed in a bid to offer users a better experience. Which, according to him, has been and currently still remains an issue for DeFi.

“By simplifying and streamlining how users engage with DeFi apps on Avalanche, Frontier will be a great addition to the ecosystem and help enable the first wave of growth on the platform,” he tweeted.

Frontier, Avalanche To Expand Wallet Options

According to the blog post, Frontier’s integration with Avalanche will enable the platform to expand its wallet’s options. Frontier allows its users to manage their DeFi assets and applications in a simple and secure portal.

Frontier has recently focused heavily on wallet composability to provide blockchain wallet users with a better user experience. Notably, wallet composability allows users to choose their desired wallet to perform certain transactions. Frontier is also striving to minimize wallet management complexity via TxLink.

With Avalanche integration, Frontier will be making wallet management simpler while chasing the ultimate goal of bringing a single user’s wallet all in one place. Not to mention, also having the wallet natively enable functions such as on-chain actions or interacting with decentralized apps.

It’s worth noting that Avalanche is the first smart contracts platform that can confirm transactions in less than a second and also be interoperable with all Ethereum tooling. Avalanche also boasts a throughput capability of 4,500+ transactions per second, which is greater than other blockchains.

“To date, Avalanche’s high performance attracted decentralized projects looking to escape the pain points of slow transaction throughput and settlement speeds of legacy blockchain platforms,” the statement noted.

Frontier To Receive Funding via Avalanche-X Grant Program

As part of the integration, Frontier will receive funding through the Avalanche-X grant program, a moonshot accelerator for developers building decentralized applications (dApps) on Avalanche.

The funds will be directed at unveiling new features like integrating Avalanche in Frontier’s iOS and Android applications, as well as introducing native staking of AVAX in the Frontier iOS and Android apps.

Also, the funds will be focused on establishing a medium that will enable users to track, send, and receive NFTs on the Avalanche network.

The DeFi aggregator will also introduce support for TrueUSD (TUSD), a stablecoin launching natively on Avalanche. And in related developments, OKCoin has also listed Avalanche’s native coin, AVAX, becoming the first U.S.-based crypto exchange to do so.

According to OKCoin, listing AVAX was another step towards ensuring the development of decentralized finance, as well as increasing the adoption of DeFi through trusted trading platforms.

AVAX Price

As of time of publication, AVAX price has dropped by 5.1% over the last 24 hours. It was trading at $34.49, with a 24-hour trading volume of $287,746,956 and market cap of $2,629,559,064. AVAX currently has a circulating supply of 76.9 million coins and a max supply of 360 million coins.
