MEW wallet: From Zero to Crypto, Fast and Safe

In any new endeavor, the hardest part is taking the very first step. Our new, fully fledged MEW wallet app allows beginners to take this step easily and with confidence. As we explain in our Absolute Beginner Guide, to get started with crypto, the first thing you need is a wallet. To get started with Ethereum and all that smart contracts can offer, you will also need some ETH. With MEW wallet, you can take care of both these necessities in under a minute. Just download our app from Apple AppStore, Google Play, or Samsung Galaxy Store, create a wallet, and buy ETH! If you are in the US, using an iPhone, and have ApplePay enabled, you can buy ETH in two clicks and 15 seconds thanks to our Wyre integration. MEW wallet also offers ETH purchases with a debit or bank card through Simplex. Either way, you will have ETH in your wallet and ready for your Ethereum adventure in no time. Featured DApp in Samsung Blockchain Wallet In addition to being available in Galaxy Store, MEW will become one of the DApps available on Samsung’s Blockchain Wallet, accessible through Samsung’s blockchain keystore — a secure enclave for hosting blockchain assets and applications, allowing users to securely store, manage their private keys. As a result, anyone with a Samsung mobile phone supporting its blockchain keystore will be able to interact with the Ethereum Ecosystem directly through the MEW mobile wallet to transact in Ether and ERC-20 tokens. Own your funds MEW has always been a client-side, truly non-custodial Ethereum interface, and the MEW wallet app carries forward this decentralized philosophy. Cryptocurrency is quite different from traditional banking — you are the only one in control of your funds, and no one can freeze your account or impose restrictions on what you do with your assets. This also means that you are the only one who will have your wallet recovery information, so don’t forget to back up your wallet, write down your recovery phrase, and keep it in a safe location! Manage all your ERC20 tokens in app One of the greatest advantages of Ethereum is the use of smart contracts, which allow developers to build currencies, protocols, and applications on the blockchain. As a result, there are hundreds of thousands of ERC20 tokens out there, and it can be difficult to keep them organized. Now, with MEW wallet, you can manage all of them right from your mobile device. No need to add custom tokens manually or figure out where that airdrop went. All ERC20 tokens are reflected automatically. If it’s on Ethereum blockchain, it will show up in MEW wallet, and you can send them to any other Ethereum address right from the app. Multiple accounts With so many things to do on Ethereum, you might want to keep your BATs separate from your DAIs, or keep your balances private when giving an address out for payments. Multiple accounts in MEW wallet let you have separate addresses for different assets, Dapps, or payers. You can organize the accounts easily by giving each one a nickname of your choice, and you can always distinguish them by their unique, colorful cards. If you ever need to switch devices or restore your wallet with your recovery phrase, you can access all of the same accounts that you previously generated.
