Tel-Aviv, Israel, 25th January, 2023, Chainwire — ZenGo has become the first non-custodial wallet with no seed phrase vulnerability to integrate with the Polygon network. As a result, Polygon users can enjoy self-custody of Polygon (MATIC), ETH, BTC, and more with secure asset recovery built-in.
By leveraging advanced biometrics and cutting-edge MPC cryptography, ZenGo eliminates onboarding complexities, allowing anyone to safely set up and secure their wallet in seconds from any iOS or Android device. ZenGo’s security model removes the single point of failure that besets traditional non-custodial wallets: Not a single ZenGo wallet has been taken over since the company was founded in 2018.
Ouriel Ohayon, ZenGo CEO and Co-Founder, said: “We’re delighted to become the first Polygon wallet with no seed phrase vulnerability and built-in web3 firewall protection. We’ve been blown away by the innovation, engagement, and growth in the Polygon ecosystem, the global brands building on it, and can’t wait to securely onboard newcomers.”
“Today, digital asset security is still one of the biggest concerns, especially when it comes to those just starting their web3 journey,” said Hamzah Khan, Head of DeFi at Polygon Labs. “This is why the integration of ZenGo is so beneficial to Polygon users, allowing them to reliably and securely self-custody their cryptocurrencies. It also aligns perfectly with Polygon’s mission to onboard the next billion users to web3, making the space as accessible, safe, and inclusive as possible.
In addition to sparing users from the responsibility of seed phrase storage, ZenGo protects them when signing web3 transactions. Its built-in firewall, ClearSign, helps users understand the permissions they are approving, preventing them from signing dangerous transactions.
More than 800,000 users rely on MPC technology to secure their digital assets, with ZenGo the most popular wallet of its kind. ZenGo replaces the traditional private key with two independently created mathematical “shares.” One is stored on the user’s mobile device and the other on ZenGo’s server, ensuring no single point of failure while facilitating recovery in the event of device loss.
ZenGo’s integration with Polygon will empower a new wave of web3 users to enjoy all of the upsides to self-custody without the vulnerabilities that come with seed phrases.
