Decentralized Social

In a world where crypto wallets like MetaMask are a maze for mainstream users, the DeSo Social Wallet is making a bold statement.With the recent upgrades, DeSo is not only refining its user experience for the masses but is also taking a giant leap towards making it the go-to choice for social media in crypto.We’ve included additional layers of security so you can store your $DESO, as well as other top cross-chain crypto assets, in your wallet more safely than leaving it on a CEX.Let&#39;s dive into the enhancements that set DeSo Wallet apart from other chains.<h2 id="header-0">1. The DeSo Wallet Improvements</h2><h3 id="strong-one-click-for-starter-deso-strong">One-Click for Starter $DESO</h3>Earlier, users had to input their phone number to get their hands on starter $DESO.Now, we’ve implemented a captcha flow that’s the new default so that you can get starter $DESO pseudonymously.Experience it firsthand by creating a new account on<a href="https://wallet.deso.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> wallet.deso.com</a> or<a href="https://diamondapp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> diamondapp.com</a>.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/2a1f0f626dbf4514a2fd291d93cb7658.png" />However, there are still additional fallback methods like <a href="https://heroswap.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">HeroSwap</a>, the instant and anonymous cross-chain swap for crypto.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/f9e90ab1e05c40e7928e427f67c694a3.png" />HeroSwap enables you to swap BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX, SUI, USDC, and USDT for DESO instantly and anonymously while storing wrapped versions of the biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap in your wallet!<h3 id="strong-unlimited-pseudonymous-accounts-strong">Unlimited Pseudonymous Accounts</h3>When you click &#34;&#43; Account&#34; on any DeSo app, you can now generate an endless number of public keys using just one Google login, MetaMask account or DeSo seed.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/971eeb69d95a4a5382e75710d4f499c4.png" />No longer do new users need to create separate seed phrases or Google accounts for every alternate pseudonymous account.This change is transformative, gearing DeSo to be the driving force behind the burgeoning pseudonymous economy.Additionally, each wallet is treated as a unique DeSo account, attached with a social graph, identity, creator coin, and, of course, your content, all of which follows you from app to app.You can keep track of everything easily from the activity tab on <a href="https://wallet.deso.com/?tab&#61;activity" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wallet.deso.com.</a><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/93298f698bd04eb3b52fc8fe93951b3c.png" /><h3 id="strong-seamless-account-backup-strong">Seamless Account Backup</h3>Paying heed to popular demand, we&#39;ve integrated the ability to back up your seed phrase directly from the DeSo Wallet.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/693209ac2bbe478a8b70fe71bea35f1e.png" />And for those who prioritize more security, you have the autonomy to disable this feature, keeping your details safe from potential breaches.Added Layer of SecurityNow, you can effortlessly log out, retrieve accounts, and back up your seed phrases, all from within DeSo Wallet.Accidentally remove an account from the Wallet?Just key in the related account number to recover it.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/b7189c87933244e49dc28dc150eeba2d.png" />What&#39;s more, the wallet allows you to securely export cryptographic keys, giving you access to your seed, seed hex, or passphrase.But here&#39;s the clincher: Are you concerned about device security?DeSo lets you disable this export feature, fortifying your data against unauthorized access. This way, you can avoid leaving them on a CEX, where you expose yourself to unforeseen meltdowns or hacks.Oftentimes, the fine print says a CEX legally owns your crypto when you leave it on an exchange.Not your keys, not your coins!By storing your $DESO in your Social Wallet, you have complete control and ownership over all your assets, including your content and social graph, similar to when you have custody of your Bitcoin.Of course, don’t forget to log out to ensure no one has access to your profile.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/100c34bdb7534a7b857fa5f6f97d80ad.png" /><h2 id="header-1">2.
