What is Ignite DAO?

Ignite DAO is a legal DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) registered in the Netherlands. Ignite DAO is also a Staked Seed Node operator inside the Zilliqa ecosystem.

What is a Torch wallet?

Torch is a smart wallet from Ignite DAO. It allows users to do the following:

  • Automated Zil staking
  • Instant Unbonding
  • Dex token swaps
  • Limit orders on Dex

How does Torch exactly work?

As Torch is a smart contract itself we are connecting and automating interaction with other valuable smart contracts (non custodial staking, other DeFi dApps and protocols, various DEXs and NFT marketplaces for example) to make sure that you can immerse yourself in the ecosystem of one of the most future proof smart contract platforms, Zilliqa, without the technological barriers or hindrances and still non custodial.

And while we are thankful for wallets such as Atomic, Moonlet, Zilpay, Zillet for offering a visual interface to send Zillings, tokens and support staking they will always remain limited in their functionality and business model as their core functionality isn't built upon smart contracts.

How is Torch wallet different from already available wallets, for example Moonlet or Zilpay?
