Microsoft Edge's browser is set to introduce a built-in wallet for cryptocurrencies and NFTs. This news is according to a leak from a pseudonymous Microsoft insider known as 'Albacore' who has leaked screenshots of Microsoft Edge's apparent plans on Twitter. The tech giant is yet to comment on the latest developments, but if the news is correct then Microsoft will be entering the web3 space in a major way. The new wallet ensures that the web3 experience is simplified and will be made more accessible. Through a wallet made by Microsoft Edge, we could see more users onboarded into the crypto and NFT community.
The screenshots leaked on Twitter show that the wallet would be non-custodial, meaning that users will have full control over their digital assets, and Microsoft will not have access to any private keys or be able to freeze any funds. The user interface also looks impressive. The landing page looks easy to navigate for users, with a wallet overview and graph showing the wallet's balance over time. There are also additional tabs, one for making transactions and viewing transaction history, and another directing users to educational content and up-to-date web3 news.
