KuCoin Wallet, the official wallet of the KuCoin crypto exchange, has launched its Chrome extension to make it easier for people to access their digital assets.

KuCoin Wallet, the official wallet of the KuCoin crypto exchange, has officially launched a Chrome Extension with comprehensively improved security technology and architecture, ensuring the security of user assets across multiple dimensions and safeguarding the Web3 experience. 

According to its official press release, the team said the KuCoin Wallet Chrome Extension was developed thanks to an increase in user demands. The extension is set up to be a safe, reliable and the first wallet with comprehensive Multi-Device Integration.

The team explained that the KuCoin Wallet Chrome Extension is a multi-chain wallet based on the Chrome browser that perfectly transplants functionality on mobile devices.

Users can scan the QR code to log in to the same account on PC and mobile to enjoy a seamless Web3 DApp experience on either end. Furthermore, KuCoin Wallet users can manage their wallets through mobile in a unified manner, greatly reducing the potential risks caused by importing critical information such as secret phrases online. KuCoin Wallet solves the historical problem of incompatibility between wallets on PC and mobile in the most efficient manner.

To reduce the risk of malware attacks, the KuCoin Wallet Chrome Extension does not require the import of a secret phrase. Users only need to scan to connect to their PC wallet via WalletConnect to view their assets in real-time, the team added. 

During the migration process, the PC and mobile wallets are seamlessly connected, and users can log in to their wallets without copying and pasting their secret phrases. KuCoin Wallet avoids the potential risks caused by storing secret phrases on the browser, hence, reducing the risk of leaking secret phrases and maximizing the security of user assets.

KuCoin Wallet added that its users can easily access DApps of various chains on their phones and seamlessly connect to the Web3 network at any time. The launch of the Chrome extension enables users to quickly access DApps instead of scanning QR codes one by one to connect to DApps from their PCs.

The team explained that when using the Chrome Extension to interact with DApps, users will receive a confirmation notification on their mobile apps whenever an in-app signature is involved. Thus, ensuring that users are notified about sensitive wallet operations and protecting against the implicit authorization of malicious websites.

While commenting on this latest development, the head of KuCoin Wallet, Jeff, said, "With the increase of users’ demand and the maturity of project development, crypto wallets on PC have become a key portal for users to experience Web3. Their development cannot be ignored. To create a next-generation and secure browser wallet, the KuCoin Wallet Chrome Extension eliminates potential security risks, such as the leakage of secret phrases through product design. The wallet realizes multi-device integration and eliminates the storage of secret phrases on the browser side. We believe that a mobile + app design provides a safer and stronger operating environment. We believe that this technical solution will deliver higher security to our users. Security-conscious users can look forward to the launch of a hardware wallet connection solution in the future.”

At the time of launch, the KuCoin Wallet Chrome Extension supports multi-chain asset management for the Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and KCC (KuCoin Community Chain) networks. 

Thanks to the launch of this extension, users can send, receive, and store tokens such as ETH, USDT, USDC, and BNB. Furthermore, KuCoin Wallet users can also view all their NFT assets through the KuCoin Wallet Chrome Extension. 

KuCoin Wallet is a secure and easy-to-use crypto wallet that supports multi-chain aggregation powered by the KuCoin ecosystem. With the security expertise of KuCoin and the leading security technology audited by Hacken, KuCoin Wallet is a self-custody wallet with users having full control of their assets. 

The low KuCoin fees make it one of the most attractive cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Is KuCoin available in the US? At the moment, KuCoin isn’t licensed to operate in the United States. However, with the exchange’s globalization plan currently in motion, KuCoin could be expanding into the North American country soon.
