[Sponsored] Ambire, the first non-custodial crypto wallet with an email login, now supports the Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, BSC, Fantom, Moonbeam and Moonriver networks.

This is a natural move for Ambire, stemming from its vision to make roaming DeFi and blockchain seamless for literally everyone, both veterans and newcomers. Ambire Wallet is poised to become the most easy-to-use and versatile financial management tool in crypto, offering the best smart wallet experience in an unique UX-focused approach. The wallet aims at broadcasting clear, human-readable information for every operation, explaining to the user each function and ensuring there are no misunderstandings that can cause loss of funds. 

Simultaneously, Ambire Wallet offers a wide range of benefits such as smart account recovery, eliminating ERC20 approvals, gas fees paid in stablecoins or other ERC20 tokens, as well as protection against sandwiching and frontrunning. Already gaining momentum as a secure and trusted browser app, with a mobile app and a debit/credit card in the pipeline, Ambire Wallet brings blockchain and DeFi to everyone’s fingertips. If you haven’t already switched to Ambire, you can do so now and participate in a continuous early-user airdrop of their native $WALLET token. Follow Ambire on Twitter for updates on how they plan to reshape the way we do DeFi.

Apologies for not publishing a newsletter last week readers - I was travelling for Blockchain Week Australia and just didn’t have the time! Though don’t fret, today’s newsletter covers all the updates from the last 2 weeks and should get you up to speed with everything that’s been happening in the Ethereum ecosystem (and there certainly has been a lot).

Have a great week everyone!
