🧵A thread on Argent
1/15 We're excited to host @argentHQ on our Twitter Spaces this week. Want a primer on Argent and what they do? LFG! 🚀 
2/15 Argent is a smart wallet 💰 designed for all things #DeFi and #Web3. It is a non-custodial wallet that combines easy access to dApps with security features such as multisig and social recovery, doing away with seed phrases.
3/15 Argent recently raised $40 million for its Series B round in April, with top-tier investors such as Fabric Ventures, Metaplanet, StarkWare, Jump Crypto, and Animoca Brands. Other existing investors like Paradigm, Index Ventures and Creandum also participated in this round.
4/15 With product presence across both #L1 (#Ethereum) and #L2 (#StarkNet + #zkSync), Argent is well positioned to capture the influx of users coming onto L2 this summer 🌴. #L222
5/15 Argent has a few products under its umbrella, including Argent, Argent Vault, and Argent X. What are the differences, you might ask?
6/15 Argent - 📱mobile wallet built on zkSync with direct on-ramp features (partnership with Ramp and Moonpay to buy crypto) and integration with dApps such as Lido and Yearn.
7/15 As one of the earliest wallets on zkSync since late 2021, Argent had over 500,000 signs up on the waitlist ahead of zkSync 2.0 launch.
8/15 Argent Vault is a vault 🔐 built for the highest security on Ethereum Layer 1, targeting wallets with >$50,000 (🐳❗️Whale alert❗️).
9/15 Users on Argent Vault can customise permission settings, including dApp trust lists, trusted sessions, Guardian approved transactions and recovery (also known as social recovery).
10/15 Guardians🤝 are friends, hardware wallets, your MetaMask, or Argent’s automated solution.
11/15 Finally, there's also Argent X, the first browser-based wallet built on StarkNet 🐺, supported by Chrome and Firefox.
12/15 Unlike Ethereum L1 where private keys and accounts are typically the same thing, StarkNet supports account abstraction which means that every account is a smart contract that must be deployed before you can interact with the network.
13/15 Argent X simplifies all this complexity by securing users' private keys, deploying account contracts, and managing the interaction with #StarkNet. 💫 Already Argent X has surpassed 120,000 downloads, with new features being introduced including 3D #NFTs and NFT transfers.
14/15 While both zkSync and StarkNet are early products, Argent no doubt has a leg up having been deeply entrenched in both ecosystems since the beginning.
15/15 We're excited to welcome @jniset , Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer as part of ZEND&FRIENDS AMA series tomorrow, 28/06. If you have any burning questions for Julien, drop them below under this thread.❤️🔥
