Overview
VESPR's browser wallet is a free Chrome, Brave, and Edge add-on for holding ADA and Cardano tokens, staking, viewing your NFTs, and signing into Cardano apps from your laptop. It's the desktop counterpart to VESPR's mobile wallet, and the same recovery phrase opens either one, so you can pick up on a laptop where you left off on a phone1.
VESPR is built by DigitalBlock Labs. You hold the recovery phrase, which means only you can move the funds. The underlying code is open and published on GitHub for anyone to inspect2.
Key Features
- Find the best price for token swaps. A built-in trading tool checks several Cardano DEXs at once and routes your trade through whichever offers the best price. Supported venues include Spectrum, SundaeSwap, Minswap, MuesliSwap, VyFi, and WingRiders1.
- Stake ADA in a couple of clicks. Pick a Cardano stake pool from a list, confirm, and earn rewards every few days. Your ADA stays in your wallet the whole time1.
- Sign into Cardano apps. Connect to Cardano DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and governance tools through the same approval flow used for payments2.
- A view of your Cardano collection. A built-in gallery displays Cardano NFTs alongside your ADA balance, with artwork rendered inside the wallet.
- One wallet across desktop and phone. The same recovery phrase opens VESPR's iPhone, Android, and browser-wallet versions, so you can move between devices without setting anything up again3.
What to Expect
Installing the VESPR browser wallet takes a couple of minutes. You add it from the Chrome Web Store (also works in Brave and Edge), create a wallet or restore one with a recovery phrase, and set a spending password. The phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if you switch computers, so keep it offline.
The interface keeps things clean: a list of your ADA and tokens, a separate tab for NFTs, and another for staking activity. The built-in trading tool shows quoted prices from each connected exchange before you confirm a swap, so you can see exactly what you'd pay. Signing into a Cardano app produces a clear approval screen, same as approving a payment.
Documentation lives on a public site, and VESPR maintains active partnerships across the Cardano ecosystem, including with the Cardano Foundation, Maestro, DexHunter, and FluidTokens. Several of those partnerships power features that show up inside the wallet itself1.
