Clave

Clave was built to solve one of Web3’s greatest barriers: the steep learning curve and poor user experience of most crypto wallets. By removing seed phrases, enabling facial and fingerprint login, and integrating smart contract wallets via Account Abstraction, Clave offers a secure, smart wallet experience that appeals to both crypto veterans and first-time users. Users don’t need to memorize phrases or manage private keys — the app uses the phone’s native biometric and hardware-level protections to secure funds locally.

Clave is currently live on the ZKSync Era Mainnet and supports decentralized transfers, swaps, investments, and earning yields directly in-app. The wallet supports over 100 tokens, and users can earn up to 12% APR through integrated DeFi opportunities with just one tap. Its DeFi dashboard allows users to stake tokens or invest in real-world assets and tokenized indexes — all while retaining complete self-custody.

Beyond investing, Clave makes crypto spending and global transfers seamless. Users can join the waitlist for the Clave Card, which will allow spending stablecoins 1:1 in USD at over 200 million VISA-enabled merchants globally. Clave will also launch a virtual IBAN system to enable fiat payments in USD and EUR, bridging the gap between traditional banking and decentralized assets.

What further sets Clave apart is its commitment to usability. Features like nickname-based transactions, gas fee sponsorship (zero network fees), and social recovery options allow even non-technical users to feel comfortable using crypto. The wallet also includes “Send & Receive” functionality that feels as easy as messaging — with global transfers completed instantly and nearly fee-free.

Unlike traditional wallets or even most smart contract wallets, Clave turns any smartphone into a secure cold wallet, thanks to its unique approach to key management. Its passkey signer approach, combined with on-chain usernames using ENS or .clv.eth extensions, makes it both secure and customizable. Compared to wallets like Argent or Rainbow, Clave leads the way in both user simplicity and enterprise-grade security — and all without compromising decentralization.

Clave provides numerous benefits and features that make it a standout project in the crypto wallet ecosystem:

• No Seed Phrases or Passwords: Secure login through biometrics and phone hardware with no risk of losing access.
