8 Things to Know About Comet Leading up to Mobile Open Beta Launch

by | News

If you’re familiar with VeChain, you’ve probably heard of or even used the Comet browser extension. Released in early 2019, Comet brings blockchain applications on VeChain to your favorite web browsers. With the new mobile app right around the corner, it has grown to be so much more than just a browser extension. Here are the top 8 things you should know about the upcoming Comet mobile app!

1) Comet is both a browser and a wallet.

The first thing you’ll notice when you open the mobile app is that it looks like a web browser, similar to Chrome or Safari, and that’s because it is! What sets Comet apart is its built-in crypto wallet with ability to power blockchain applications. Users can visit websites with blockchain features and have a secure way to handle transactions and manage assets.

2) Comet is the first wallet with fee abstraction.

Want to transfer your tokens or use dApps but don’t have any VTHO? With Comet’s groundbreaking new feature, fee abstraction,  you can pay transaction fees in any token you hold. This is a big step towards making VeChain more adoption-friendly.

3) Comet is an open platform.

Comet supports open standards and protocols like web3 and Connex, and because there is no whitelist of dApps, you are free to build and use any applications your heart desires. If it exists on the internet, you can get there with Comet.

4) Comet supports all VeChain based tokens, including NFTs.

With Comet, the wallet interfaces themselves are dApps, including the default wallet called “Tokens” that ships with the mobile app. This means that developers can very easily create their own wallet interfaces for their tokens so that users can manage them on the go.

Comet is also extremely supportive of other community projects. For example, users can send their YEET tokens to their Comet address and access them at https://wallet.yeetcoin.io directly from the Comet mobile app!

5) Comet is decentralized.

Your private keys never leave your wallet. While some wallets sacrifice decentralization and security for improved user-experience, Comet delivers the best of all worlds. It uses a truly innovative UX while maintaining complete decentralization.

6) Your Comet wallet is your passport in the decentralized world.

Use a single account to gain access to all of the different decentralized applications running on VeChain. As the ecosystem grows, Comet will be the key to utility and entertainment running on the platform.

7) Comet has native support for CometVerse avatars!

Decentralized avatars are a fun way to add flair to your pseudonymous blockchain identity. You can create yours for free by visiting https://cometverse.com and it will be used as your profile picture on your favorite dApps.

8)  Open beta goes live on August 8th

This will be available on both Android and iOS.

Introducing Comet’s new decentralized marketplace

by | News

This week Totient announced their new p2p marketplace, which allows users to auction or sell their Comet NFTs (non-fungible tokens). Comet, a browser extension that allows users to securely manage their VeChain wallets directly from within Google Chrome or Brave Browser, provides users with a gateway to a world of blockchain-based applications and games.

Users can customize the appearance of their Comet in the Cometverse, as well as chat and trade VeChain tokens with other users. Customization options include a series of bright colors and novelty items.

To date, Comet has announced a series of item giveaways, including novelty hats and eyewear. Some of the rarer items had a limited release, and were completely claimed in a matter of seconds. To the creators of Cometverse, this came as quite a surprise. Totient Co-founder Clinton Bembry talked about how the whole concept was designed to be a demo for the Comet browser extension, but were encouraged to keep developing it by the strong positive feedback.

Bembry continued by stating that they’ve only scratched the surface of how they can continue to improve the user experience. The p2p marketplace is just one of many innovative new features they plan to implement.

While the popularity of the Cometverse may have been unforeseen, the direction Totient is following is much more purposeful. The marketplace is built on a protocol they call Valkyrie. Details haven’t been fully announced, but eventually this protocol will become available for other developers to use within their own dApps when creating an NFT marketplace. This is just another step in Totient’s journey towards making the VeChain blockchain more user-friendly and accessible for developers and users alike.
