Privacy coin pioneer Bytecoin has announced
the launch of Bytecoin Zero, the platform’s new
browser-based, end-to-end secure wallet. The wallet is operable with desktop
and mobile browsers and does not require users to trust their private keys with
any third parties.
Users ask a lot of cryptocurrency wallets due
to the sensitive nature of the functions the wallets perform. Depending on what
an individual wants to do with their cryptocurrency, the ideal wallet will
vary. Bytecoin sought to provide its users with a convenient wallet that they
could access in their mobile and desktop browsers without having to sacrifice
the security structures that have guided its growth as a platform.
Over the course of its time in the crypto
space, Bytecoin has established itself as one of the platforms most dedicated
to privacy and security. Picking up where Bitcoin left off, Bytecoin has
introduced unprecedented levels of user protection into cryptocurrency
transactions. The key to the Bytecoin platform lies in the intricately-woven
cryptographic veil it hides its transactions under.
In building Bytecoin
Zero, the development team took great pains to not compromise that
veil for their users. As a result, the team ended up fusing remote node
technology with local storage capabilities to bring Bytecoin Zero to life. With
the new wallet, users can send and receive funds directly in their Amethyst
wallet file from the comfort of their desktop and mobile browsers.
Bytecoin Zero marks the latest release from a
company devoted to reorienting the cryptocurrency industry according to its
original vision. Bytecoin CMO Jenny Goldberg emphasized this point in a
statement on the release: “We are proud of the development team for being able
to bring this to fruition and happy to share it with our community. This is
another example of Bytecoin building technology that has more than material
value for the industry at large. We anticipate there being many more.”
