The Avalanche blockchain has experienced significant growth and adoption since its inception in 2020. However, aspiring users faced challenges when moving their assets to the Avalanche network. Users had to rely on competing applications, such as MetaMask and Ethereum-Avalanche bridges. Bridges enable users to transfer assets between blockchains. They are also easy targets for hackers.
In June 2022, Avalanche blockchain’s developer, Ava Labs, first launched its own non-custodian wallet. However, it was only available as a web extension, which meant that crypto holders could only access it via personal computers. This month, Ava Labs moved closer to building a connected Web3 experience with the introduction of the Core wallet mobile version.

Introduction to the Core Wallet
Avalanche-powered Core wallet is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet designed to give users the highest level of control over their crypto. It is an operating system that integrates Avalanche decentralized applications, wallets, bridges, subnets, NFTs, and other features into a single, fast web experience.

The Core wallet supports Avalanche and other blockchains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and EVM-compatible blockchains. This makes the Core wallet the simplest way to access all of Web3’s capabilities on the Avalanche blockchain.Â
Currently, the Core wallet is available to Avalanche users via a mobile app and web extension. In addition, the mobile app is only available for Android devices, with iOS compatibility planned for 2023.
Features of the Core Wallet
Here are a few features of the Core wallet:
Buy AVAX: Using only a few clicks, users can easily buy $AVAX from their wallet. The integration of MoonPay facilitates this feature.
Bridge: Users can bridge their native Bitcoin ($BTC) by leveraging the same reliable technology that supports the Avalanche Bridge.
