Project Description
Edge is an open-source, non-custodial, and privacy focused wallet that is available on iOS/Android that has multi-asset support, swap, and staking functionality.
Edge currently already supports ZEC and would like to add ZEC upgrades as well as the integration of Filecoin.
By implementing the upgrades with ZEC on Edge this will provide a better user experience for existing ZEC users on Edge as well as another wallet option for ZEC users looking for a wallet with our proven track record and core values.
By supporting Filecoin on Edge this would help grow the user base of Filecoin with Edge's already existing millions of users.
Edge would like to integrate the following:
Completing this project will help grow the ecosystems for ZEC and Filecoin by providing a wallet that has a proven track record which is open-source, private, and non-custodial that has NEVER been hacked and has been around since 2014. In addition, Edge has been providing phone support since 2014 where a user that needs help can speak with an actual human being and we hope to continue that and be able to provide the best user experience and support with both ZEC and Filecoin.

Additional Information
Airbitz Inc was founded in 2014, and rebranded to Edge, a self-custody exchange platform, in 2017. Since then, we have been focused on increasing functionality, expanding our global accessibility, and growing our presence in the crypto space by sponsoring conferences and hosting our own monthly meetups, with notable speakers and influencers. We support over 177 different fiat payment methods around the world and support over 130 assets. We have created a “best price option” which automatically searches through our swap exchange partners that provides the best price for a given pair. We have reached over 3+ million accounts created and our exchange volume has grown 3-4x year over year.
Edge is known as being the first open-source, non-custodial, and multi-asset wallet with swaps built into it to support XRP and Monero. We want to continue to build on ZEC and integrate Filecoin on Edge and provide users of these ecosystems with an open-source and privacy focused wallet yet still familiar and easy to use.
We’re building for the next billion users in mind where the wallet must be familiar and secure yet still allows users complete privacy and full custody and ownership of their keys without even Edge ever having access or knowledge.
