As the Terra ecosystem continues its remarkable growth, the Leap team works to develop their cutting edge wallet with ease of use and safety at the forefront of their operations. The simple and intuitive design of the platform is modeled after web2 consumer applications, allowing crypto curious and crypto native users alike to easily store, send, stake, and swap tokens. As a non-custodial wallet, Leap does not have access to funds and does not store users’ private keys. The platform is developed with best-in-class security, dedicated to protecting users from scams and phishing attacks.
