Hold Aurora in a wallet you control

Why Zypto is the best Aurora wallet for everyday use

Most Aurora wallets do one thing: hold AURORA. Zypto App is a full DeFi wallet built for actually using it. Hold AURORA non-custodially on the Multichain network, swap into 24,000+ assets across 20+ chains via in-app DEX integrations, connect to dApps with WalletConnect, and use the value through the Zypto Premium Visa Card and Zypto's bill-pay and gift-card surfaces.

Whether you're new and looking for your first Aurora wallet app or your first AURORA wallet, or an experienced DeFi user who wants one wallet for holding, swapping and real-world spending, Zypto is built for both, without sacrificing self-custody.

Aurora wallet for beginners and the best AURORA wallet app

New to Aurora? You don't need an exchange account to get a wallet. Download Zypto App, generate your recovery phrase, and you have a working AURORA wallet in under a minute. Add your first AURORA by receiving from another wallet, or by buying in-app where supported.

Your Aurora is secured by you

Zypto App is non-custodial. Your private keys are generated and stored on your device, Zypto never has access to your AURORA and every transaction is signed locally. For account access, every user sets a PIN with optional biometric security (fingerprint or face recognition). You can also filter your wallet to show only verified tokens, protecting you from random airdrops or unsafe assets. For offline hardware wallet security, pair with the Vault Key Card, card-based cold-wallet hardware that signs transactions over NFC, keys never touch the internet.

What is Aurora?

Aurora is an Ethereum Virtual Machine environment that runs on NEAR Protocol, letting developers deploy Solidity smart contracts and Ethereum-style applications on top of NEAR's infrastructure. It works through the Aurora Engine, an EVM implemented as a contract on NEAR, paired with the Rainbow Bridge for moving assets between Ethereum, NEAR, and Aurora. On Aurora, transaction fees are paid in ETH rather than the AURORA token. The project has since expanded into a framework for launching customizable EVM-compatible chains. AURORA is primarily a governance token. Holders can vote on proposals through the AuroraDAO, the council that steers how the protocol evolves. The token generation event took place in November 2021, when Aurora Labs first brought the network into general availability. Aurora sits within the broader NEAR ecosystem, so its activity is tied to both EVM developers and NEAR adoption. You can track the Aurora price and store AURORA in a self-custody wallet, keeping control of your own assets.
