What is the Dapper wallet used for?
Dapper is a digital wallet that lets you access and interact with your NFTs on the Flow blockchain. It performs all traditional wallet functions, such as funds storage and sales transaction processing, but with one major difference—Dapper is also a decentralized app that lives on the Flow blockchain, just like your NFTs. Think of it as a key that lets you discover and secure your digital assets. In a broader sense, Dapper is one of the easiest ways to access Web3.
The world of NFTs can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never dabbled in the crypto economy. The Dapper wallet is custom-built to alleviate some of those first-timer jitters with its enhanced security features and a familiar checkout experience that makes buying, selling, storing, and showcasing your NFTs much easier. It is also one of the five digital wallets supported by Instagram’s new NFT display feature that allows you to show off your Flow NFTs from your Dapper wallet right on your Instagram feed.
Dapper is free to use, so it makes for a great wallet for beginners, but also scales for expert users. It gives you access to some of the most popular NFTs on the market, such as NBA Top Shot, NFL ALL DAY, Seussibles!, Flovatar, and many more. You can sign up in seconds and start collecting in no time.
