Overview
Midas Protocol aims “to be the smartest universal wallet for all essential crypto needs from safekeeping, intelligent trading, portfolio management, easy conversion to fiat and spending of cryptocurrencies.” For new cryptocurrency investors it can be a bit overwhelming and they must either rely on centralized exchanges to hold funds or figure out how to set up several wallets of their own.
The first option relinquishes control of their cryptocurrencies and puts full trust in entities which have proven to be vulnerable, while the second approach requires some basic technical knowledge and juggling multiple wallet clients. Midas Protocol offers an all-in-one solution where users can store, exchange, monitor and transact with cryptocurrencies, in a multi-platform client suitable for all levels of experience.
The host of features offered by Midas is extensive, but some of the highlights include:
- An encrypted, multi-currency wallet
- Advanced cryptocurrency portfolio integrated with the wallet
- Trading with linked exchanges directly from the platform without exposing private keys
- Ability to spend crypto on any website supporting cryptocurrency payments via the wallet
- News and market alerts tailored to the cryptocurrencies in your portfolio
- Trading leaderboards with the ability to follow top traders and copy their trades
- Order types beyond what is available on existing exchanges
- Multi-platform coverage including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Web applications.
