WEB3 DIGEST

Uniswap launches its mobile wallet via TestFlight while waiting for iOS approval

In the mission to bring web3 to mobile, Uniswap has announced the launch of their newest mobile wallet. According to CoinGecko, the wallet will be:

• A self-custodial crypto wallet where users will have full ownership and control over their assets

• Offering the ability to trade tokens directly with Uniswap

• Released to 10,000 initial users on TestFlight

The app is currently only available through TestFlight at the moment, with Uniswap citing Apple's unclear approval processes for crypto-related mobile apps as a reason for the delay. As mentioned in their tweet, "So why a limited early release from a team committed to access for anyone? Simply put, Apple won’t green-light our launch, & we don’t know why."

Unfortunately, this is somewhat the norm for crypto mobile apps on iOS. At the moment, Apple rules regarding mobile crypto apps are largely unclear, in addition to a ban on crypto trading apps that don’t use an “approved exchange.”

We'll see if iOS concedes, but in the meantime—it might be worth thinking about deploying on Android, where I'll bet a majority of the world's crypto users are concentrated anyway. This begs the question: Will iOS truly lead the web3 mobile revolution? Or will we have to take it into our own hands?
