Enkrypt
MyEtherWallet (MEW)
Enkrypt is the desktop browser-extension wallet developed by MyEtherWallet (MEW). It is self-custody: private keys and funds stay under the user's control. Its distinctive trait is multichain coverage beyond the EVM world alone: it handles Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks, Polkadot and Substrate-based chains, and Bitcoin. From a single in-browser interface users can hold, buy, send, receive and swap tokens, as well as manage NFTs and connect to web3 dApps. It supports major hardware wallets for added security. The code is open-source. The fee applied on swaps is not published as a fixed percentage.
