About the Everspace

Everspace is a mobile crypto wallet that offers a fast, safe, and feature-packed experience via a simple, intuitive interface. The wallet allows users to effortlessly purchase crypto assets using a card in a couple of clicks. Users can reap benefits from staking coins on different blockchains, as well as storing crypto assets and NFTs all in one place. The intuitive interface makes it possible to easily swap crypto tokens using different chains with low fees and swift and seamless execution.

Intro

So, I continue to review the Everscale ecosystem. I am glad to present an exclusive interview with Vitaliy Gritsai, Everspace Crypto Wallet Product Manager. In this interview, we take a deep dive into Everspace's journey, from ideation to the long-awaited release of the multi-chain wallet. Everspace has attracted significant attention for its cutting-edge approach to integrating cryptocurrencies and NFTs into the gaming experience. Join us to hear from Vitaliy Gritsai, who played a key role in shaping Everspace's product development and strategic vision.


Let’s begin!

Hello, Vitaly! Can you give us an overview of the benefits and features of Everspace, the non-custodial multichain crypto wallet? Why should users use your wallet instead of others?

Sure! Our wallet can work with all common TVM networks (Everscale, TON, Venom), and we support working not only with native coins but also with altcoins based on these networks. Also, our application can work with two more major networks: Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain Our wallet is the most convenient way to view and interact with NFT, and in this direction, we plan to make a qualitative leap forward in the coming months - to integrate our wallet very closely with NFT investment and loyalty platform GrandBazar.


Our wallet is the most convenient way of steaking coins EVER (see the last update where we completely revamped this section). Our wallet is the most convenient way to create and interact with multisig wallets - you can create such wallets in networks (Everscale and TON), initiate transactions and see the number of signatures needed to finalize the transaction. Our wallet supports the maximum number of different Smart Contracts of different wallets and, unlike others, provides the user to decide for himself which smart contract to use to create his wallet. We also add all new contracts promptly so that our clients can use Everspace without thinking about it.

How does Everspace ensure the security of users' crypto assets within the wallet? Could you tell us more about it?

The user's Sid Phrases are stored in specialized secure storage on the user's phone (this is the officially recommended solution from iOS & Android for such information) and are NEVER revealed or sent to the outside world. To access the app, the user is required to set a pin code and, if desired, set up Face ID. A new version will be available soon, in which it will be possible to customize backup settings for phrases so that the risk of loss is minimized (with the user setting a master password for mandatory data encryption)

Could you explain the process for setting up and activating a wallet within Everspace?

The wallet is set up in a typical way, just like other similar applications: the user installs the application, imports or creates a passphrase, and this passphrase is used to automatically search for his assets in all networks supported by the wallet, after that, the user can fully work with the application. But at the moment, we are working on a version that will significantly change this process and make it even more beautiful and intuitive, as well as significantly expand the possibilities of the user.

Are there any specific cryptocurrencies or blockchains that Everspace supports?

Everscale + Altcoins + NFT TON + Altcoins Venom Ethereum + Altcoins BSC + Altcoins

Does Everspace provide a feature for users to easily exchange or trade their cryptocurrencies within the wallet?

We developed this solution, but due to Apple policy and changes on FlatQube, we had to disable this functionality. We are currently working on a solution to restore it.

How does Everspace handle transaction fees, and what options are available for users to adjust these fees?

The app does not charge any additional fees to the user.

Does Everspace offer any additional services or tools to help users manage their crypto investments effectively? Like Portofolio management integrations, etc.?

For now, we will focus mainly on integrating with NFT's investment and loyalty platform GrandBazar and expanding our NFT and SBT capabilities.

Can you discuss any plans for future development and potential integrations with other platforms or services?

We have already implemented for the Everscale network the possibility of working with WalletConnect and supported this mechanism in Everspace. We plan to introduce this method of connection in all system-forming services of the network. Close integration with NFT investment and loyalty platform GrandBazar will be realized. GrandBazar will provide users with advanced possibilities to create and set up loyalty and investment programs on the basis of NFT Everscale for business, and Evespace will be one of the possible client applications for this. Very active work in this direction is now underway.

Is Everspace available on multiple platforms, such as web, mobile, or desktop?

At the moment, we provide two native apps for iOS and Android. In the future, we may provide a solution for Telegram and the Web. There are no plans to create a browser plugin yet.

How does Everspace handle software updates and ensure compatibility with different blockchain networks?

Everspace has inbuilt functions to detect and inform users about new versions of the application. If the user updates the Everspace application in a timely manner, then he will not have problems with updates at the network level because our team handles such changes as quickly as possible.

Can you provide some examples of use cases where Everspace's multichain functionality can be especially beneficial for users?

It's very convenient to have all your assets available to view and manage from a single interface, no need to jump from one app to another.

What level of customer support does Everspace offer to address users' questions or concerns?

We are as open as possible and try to solve problems very quickly. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to do this day to day, but we strive to do so. Support is provided in general chat in Telegram.

Are there any fees associated with using Everspace's wallet services, and if so, how are they structured?

No, as long as the app is completely free for users and does not charge any additional fees

Can you share any success stories or testimonials from users who have found value in using Everspace as their crypto wallet?

We quite often receive positive feedback from our clients, but as we value confidentiality, we do not purposefully collect such information.

How are you integrating other networks? Do you plan to integrate the Venom/TON/LayerZero network?

We have recently added support for BSC and plan to expand this list further Venom/TON - already supported.

What else would you like to tell our readers?

I suggest you install our wallet and make your own opinion about it. We will be very grateful if you also write us your impressions of the results it will be very valuable for us. Keep an eye on our updates. This year we will have some really great and interesting innovations.
