Overview
VESPR is a non-custodial Cardano wallet available on iOS, Android, and as a Chrome-based browser extension, built with Flutter to deliver a consistent experience across mobile and desktop1. It targets users who want full self-custody of ADA and native Cardano tokens alongside an integrated path to staking, swapping, and decentralized applications. Private keys and seed phrases stay on the user's device, and the wallet collects no personal information such as email addresses or recovery phrases1. VESPR is developed by DigitalBlock Labs and lists the Cardano Foundation among its ecosystem partners.
Key Features
- Built-in DEX aggregation. A native swap interface routes orders across multiple Cardano DEXs to surface competitive pricing without leaving the wallet2.
- Native ADA staking. Users can delegate to Cardano stake pools directly from the app and earn protocol-level rewards while keeping funds liquid and self-custodied1.
- dApp connectivity. An in-app browser and WalletConnect integration let users sign transactions on Cardano decentralized applications from mobile, supported by the team's open-source wallet_connect_cardano library.
- NFT and native token management. The wallet displays Cardano native tokens and NFTs in a unified portfolio view, with metadata rendering for collectibles.
- Fiat on-ramp. Integration with Topper by Uphold lets users buy ADA with fiat directly inside the wallet3.
What to Expect
Onboarding follows the standard non-custodial flow: generate a recovery phrase, set a local PIN or biometric lock, and the wallet is ready to receive ADA. The interface emphasizes simplicity over dense data, with the home screen surfacing balance, recent activity, and quick actions for sending, receiving, swapping, and staking. Mobile users get a touch-first experience for everyday operations, while the browser extension covers desktop dApp interactions on Chrome, Brave, and Edge. The codebase is written in Dart and Flutter, and the team publishes several supporting libraries publicly, including a Cardano Dart SDK. An independent third-party security audit has not been publicly identified, though the team has submitted multiple Project Catalyst proposals seeking funding for a penetration test4. VESPR is featured in Cardano Foundation ecosystem listings and third-party wallet roundups, and is a recognized option among Cardano mobile wallets5.
