Atomic

The Atomic wallet supports users' fiat currency bank cards to buy crypto tokens, such as Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and Litecoin (LTC).

Is Atomic Wallet safe to use?

Atomic Wallet provides solid security features, and it doesn't store any user passwords, data, or seed phrases on its servers. All that information is stored on your device where you've installed Atomic Wallet. If you keep your seed phrase safe and password safe, then your crypto will be secure.

It is, however, worth noting that digital security company Least Authority conducted a comprehensive audit of Atomic Wallet and claims it found vulnerabilities. In a blog post from February 2022, it states that Atomic Wallet isn't secure in protecting user assets and private data.

Atomic Wallet has responded to the audit and stated that it's working on fixes, but also that the audit found nothing critical that could result in the loss of user funds. To its credit, it hasn't been the victim of any data breaches and has a good track record. But you may want to look into Least Authority's report and Atomic Wallet's response before deciding whether this is the wallet for you.

Atomic Wallet is right for you if:

• You're looking for a cold wallet that's free to use.

• You want to be able to stake crypto and earn rewards from your wallet.

Atomic Wallet is a decentralized exchange that uses liquidity pools (LPs) to make markets instead of a typical order book. These pools are defined by smart contracts that facilitate the swapping of tokens and the adding of liquidity — there are no order books, centralized parties, or central facilitators. Atomic Wallet users pool two assets that are then traded against, with the price determined by the ratio between the two. Anyone with ERC-20 tokens can add liquidity to these pools by adding an equal value of each token to the LP. When providing liquidity to an LP, users receive a LP token that is redeemable for the underlying assets plus fees at any time, and fees are evenly distributed amongst the individual pool.

What Does the Future Hold for Atomic Wallet?

As they say, imitation is the greatest flattery. Atomic Wallet has no shortage of copycats, such as Atomic Wallet or Atomic Wallet DEX. After all, Atomic Wallet’s open-source code is easy to copy and slightly tweak. However, after initial promises of higher liquidity yields, they deflated while Atomic Wallet remained steadfast.

Unfortunately, Atomic Wallet’s main obstacle came from Ethereum itself. The biggest smart contract platform with over $109B TVL is undergoing a transition itself, from proof-of-work to fully proof-of-stake consensus with the upcoming Beacon Chain merger. As a result, Ethereum gas fees have not been affordable, to say the least.
