ric.eth mirrorWhy Wallets Excite Me Again
My first stab at an Ethereum wallet was in 2014. I collaborated with Gavin Wood and Alex Van Der Sande to imagine what a dapp browser, dapp store, network monitor, and wallet might look like.https://dribbble.com/shots/2175361-Ethereum-App-StoreIn 2017 I pivoted my little company, Balance, from fintech back to Ethereum when I watched $ETH increased 1000x in value. We focused on the wallet problem again and made huge progress. Balance pushed out beautiful web interfaces, the WalletConnect stand...

I have started to notice something about people: when they describe themselves to you they are usually the opposite of what they say. ”I am relaxed” > Angry ”I am a hustler” > Lazy ”I am straight” > Curious ”I am a fighter” > Failure ”I am a feminist” > Abuser ”I am empathetic” > Pathetic ”I am there for people” > Ghost ”I am an entrepreneur“ > Bankrupt ”I am a pillar of the community” > Crumbling These are terms that other people should use to describe you.

We are working incredibly hard to bring you a wonderful Ethereum wallet for iPhone. Personally, I have been deeply involved in the Apple Developer Community for around 10 years and the Ethereum Community for 5 years. I really care about the overlap between the Apple and Ethereum ecosystem. There is a magical product lurking in the future:
iOS (iPhone Operating System) : EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)
Swift programming language : Solidity programming language
Apple cares about privacy : Ethereum cares about access
I think there has been a seismic shift in both ecosystems. There are no mobile wallets in the world that are taking advantage of this shift.
Ethereum’s community has shipped several viable Layer 2 protocols that are fast, affordable and more accessible. Apple has shipped Extensions for Safari iOS which totally changes the mobile web.
https://ricburton.mirror.xyz/rs_984adsfIcviYHVKgXaaVRMSZIVDdW1mc_pkyepLo
We think Ethereum dapp developers should start targeting Apple’s Safari browser.
Safari is the dominant mobile web browser in dozens of countries. Today, Ethereum barely works on your iPhone. We want to build a tool for developers so they can fix that. We feel wallets should be great for customers and developers.
I love the Mandalorian series from Disney. To me, it captures the relationship I feel I have had with many incredible founders. A lonely explorer of the universe finds a magical being who melts his heart. This has happened to me a few times. I see so many similarities between the Mandalorian Way & Etherean Culture:
https://ricburton.mirror.xyz/hkDDmuj_yjUwF08SCvQ3HbsoNsZVtyhnvQIVf_cCM1o
The strongest metal in the Mandalorian universe is Beskar. It is so rare that everyone in The Galaxy covets it. My good friend Christopher Downer—who designed Sketch for macOS—has been kind enough to create Beskar-inspired metallic app icon.
There will only ever be 33,333 editions and the price is 0.03 ETH. You can buy it here:
edition://0xDF5b5ee15CC96ba7d0CB6BD9b2c0fc4417ab6445?editionId=3729
edition://0xDF5b5ee15CC96ba7d0CB6BD9b2c0fc4417ab6445?editionId=3780
This is our first experiment at finding ways to mix Apple and Ethereum. We are going to give people the ability to choose a different App Icon based on the NFTs in your wallet.
We are going to use this sale to generate revenue, learn how to use Mirror, and experiment with our own NFT-based ideas.
Thank you for your support!
