Visualizing the market gap of a developer-centric wallet and unmatched user interface, Metadot initiated it’s journey with a vision of a wallet “DEVELOPED FOR THE DEVELOPERS AND BY THE DEVELOPERS.” Metadot visualizes to serve the purpose of being the fully functional wallet in the Polkadot space by providing every feature for all the users in the blockchain system.
Metadot is a non-custodial wallet DAPP for Parachains on Polkadot and its cousin network, Kusama. Looking at the market gap of optimized user interface(UI) and unavailability of testnets integration simultaneously, Metadot was ideally developed to bring all the parachains on Polkadot and Kusama to one place and provide their testnets support in simple clicks.
