Polkadot

note

die Erweiterung polkadot.js ist eine Substrate/EVM-Wallet, die von den Machern von Substrate und Polkadot/Kusama, dem [Parity-Team] (https://www.parity.io/), erstellt wurde.

This is the barebones wallet. This is because it is a wallet that supports all Substrate based networks. This is an extension that works similarly to MetaMask, or most other browser based wallets you’ve likely used in the past.
