FAQ:
Does Ctrl Wallet work on mobile browsers like Chrome on Android?
No, Ctrl Wallet Edge extension Wallet is an extension specifically designed for desktop browsers. It supports Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Kiwi, but only on their desktop versions (Windows, Mac, Linux). For managing crypto on your mobile device, you would need to use a separate, dedicated mobile wallet app that supports the same networks and can be connected via wallet connect or seed phrase.
I use multiple browsers. Do I need to set up the wallet separately in each one?
Yes, you will need to install the extension and set it up in each browser separately. Your wallet data (like seed phrases and keys) is stored locally within that specific browser's extension storage. It does not sync automatically between different browsers or even different profiles on the same browser. For security, you would use the same recovery phrase during setup in each browser to access the same wallet accounts.
How secure is it compared to a hardware wallet like Ledger?
Ctrl Wallet is a software (hot) wallet, so it's inherently less secure than a hardware (cold) wallet like Ledger. A hardware wallet stores your private keys completely offline. Ctrl Wallet stores your encrypted keys on your computer's browser. Its security depends heavily on your device's safety. It's suitable for managing smaller amounts or for frequent transactions, but for significant, long-term holdings, connecting it to a hardware wallet for transaction signing is a much more secure approach.
Can I swap tokens directly within the wallet extension?
Yes, Ctrl Wallet has a built-in swap function. You can exchange one token for another directly within the extension's interface. It typically aggregates rates from various decentralized exchanges to find a good price. You will need to have enough of the base token (like ETH for Ethereum swaps) to cover the amount you want to swap plus the network transaction fee.
