Maiar

Feb 27, 2023

Basic Information

As a digital cryptocurrency wallet and an app, Maiar allows you to trade and securely hold crypto assets on your mobile device. Wallet is primarily based on collaborations with the Elrond blockchain.

Functionality

Despite the fact that blockchain technology has been around for several years, most people are only familiar with it through the media. Maiar is attempting to change this. Developers are aiming to create an app that makes cryptocurrencies a regular part of our lives and makes sending money through them as easy as sending an SMS message.

It is possible to download Maiar on both Apple devices and most new Android mobile phones. It is a fairly user-friendly application that can be installed in no more than two minutes. The only requirement for creating a wallet is a phone number. Furthermore, the entire application is free of charge. All that is required of you is the fee for using the Elrond network (approximately 0.001 USD per transaction). It is always possible to see all fees before completing a transaction, so you can make an informed decision regarding whether you wish to proceed.

In general, the entire wallet is based on the Elrond blockchain, which can be viewed here for more information. Therefore, Maiar can serve as an entry point into the world of crypto and decentralized finance, particularly in relation to the Elrond blockchain that is gaining popularity around the world.

Pros & Cons

pros
  • Easy and quick installation
  • Effective support – if something does not work on your end, the developers will be able to assist you
  • Refer & Earn program – by referring your friends, you can earn quite a bit of money
  • Strong cooperation with Elrond blockchain and connection with Ledger hardware wallet (HW)
cons
  • While the app is fairly intuitive, it lacks some basic instructions for those who are beginning to use it

Supported Chains

There are three blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Elrond. Maiar plans to support more cryptocurrencies in the future.

Tips from an Analyst

As with other wallets, it is wise to be cautious when handling this wallet. Maiar allows you to create a seed that can be used to recover the entire wallet in the event that your phone is lost. It is necessary to write this seed on a piece of paper or a metal plate. I strongly recommend that you do not upload it to the Internet or take photos of it. A person who finds the seed and steals it can easily steal any funds you had in your wallet if you lose it.

Due to the fact that you have installed Maiar on your phone, you should treat it as if it were your actual wallet. No matter how you choose to protect your phone, it is advisable to use a strong password and not to let it out of your sight. In the event that it is lost, you should recover the wallet as quickly as possible using the seed and move the funds to another wallet.

Analyst Opinion

Maiar wallet is one of the possible applications that will help bring crypto closer to the general public. The fact that it takes approximately two minutes to install is a remarkable feature. Despite the fact that the app is quite intuitive, it is unfortunate that you do not receive a tutorial once you have installed it. This would make it even easier for people to adopt crypto and take advantage of its benefits.

Despite this, the wallet provides all the necessary features for the average user. It allows you to hold, trade, and deposit cryptocurrencies into a staking account. Additionally, it is compatible with NFTs.

Finally, many people will appreciate the referral program, through which they will be able to make some additional income. The wallet only supports a limited number of cryptocurrencies, which is a slight disappointment.

The concept of making crypto more accessible to all, and even the slogan "sky is the limit," summarize Maiar's true essence. Although it hasn't reached the heavens yet, it's still a work-in-progress and it's possible it will soon soar with the eagles.
