The new Fantom Wallet (fWallet) brings new staking features, governance proposal creation, integrated bridge and swap, and more! Begin your Fantom journey.

Ash V. Khatibi - Content Writer at Fantom.

The new Fantom Wallet (fWallet) is here! We are excited to bring you a brand new way to experience Fantom.

With a fresh and user-friendly design based on user feedback, the fWallet is packed with new features and offers a seamless way to navigate and interact with Fantom.

Take a look at some of the exciting new features and screenshots of the updated interface below!

Relock and Add Time to Delegation

If you have delegated your FTM tokens to a validator, you can increase your stake by adding more FTM to your existing delegation, which eliminates the need to create a new delegation.

For example, if you have 1 FTM staked and locked at the Beefy validator for 365 days, you can increase your stake by adding more FTM to the delegation at any time.

Staking has become more convenient with a new feature that allows you to add more time to your existing locked delegation instead of waiting for the lock period to end to relock your staked FTM.

Moreover, you can now unlock a partial portion of your staked FTM tokens if you only require a few. This provides more flexibility in managing your staked tokens.

The feature previously known as “claim and restake” has been rebranded to “compound” in the new wallet! The rebrand comes with a new feature that lets you compound the rewards for all your delegations with a single button, instead of manually claiming and restaking the rewards for each delegation separately — however, this feature still requires multiple transactions.

Create Governance Proposals

Play a part in Fantom’s future by creating governance proposals, which is now available directly in the governance section of the new fWallet!

To create a proposal, you must fill out the title, description, voting options, minimum participation, minimum agreement, and date options.

If your proposal’s description exceeds the maximum length, feel free to write a post on the Fantom Forum and link the post in your proposal’s description.

Integrated Bridge

Bridging your tokens has never been easier as the new fWallet now includes a built-in bridge that provides a smooth and effortless way to transfer tokens between Fantom and other compatible chains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Arbitrum.

The bridge is powered by Multichain, which is a Web3 router that enables cross-chain interactions and transfers.

Integrated Swap

Experience seamless swapping with fWallet’s new integrated swap feature, which comes equipped with a convenient chart to provide you with an overview of the token’s price history before making a swap.

The swap feature is powered by OpenOcean, which is a DEX aggregator. Aggregators provide deep liquidity by aggregating prices across DEXs on Fantom to ensure users are offered the best prices on the market and can trade low liquidity tokens without any price impact.

Currently, OpenOcean’s swap feature draws liquidity and prices from over 20 DEXs on Fantom, but we have more DEX aggregators coming to the wallet in the future!

Improved Address Book

The built-in address book feature has been improved vastly.

With its own dedicated section in the wallet, the address book now offers a search function to filter through your contacts with ease.

When creating a new contact, you are able to add a description, which is helpful to note down important details about the contact.

All contacts can now be deleted with a single click, or you can encrypt all contacts with a password for increased privacy and security.

Most importantly, you are now able to import external contacts directly into the fWallet or export your current contacts for use elsewhere, which brings unparalleled convenience.

Integrated Unstoppable Domains

Are you looking for a more user-friendly way to share your Fantom address, such as using a human-readable domain like ash.NFT? The new fWallet now offers an integration with Unstoppable Domains, making it simple to register a Web3 domain that points directly to your crypto address.

Unstoppable Domains is a blockchain-based domain system that enables users to create and manage decentralized domains. These domains are stored on a blockchain, making them censorship-resistant and immune to government or third-party intervention.

Unlike traditional domain names that are centrally managed by organizations like ICANN, Unstoppable Domains allows users to have complete control over their domains, and they can use them to build decentralized websites and applications. These domains are also compatible with cryptocurrency wallets, allowing users to receive payments using their domain names instead of long, complicated wallet addresses.

And Much More!

Add multiple wallets and switch between them with ease!

Choose between multiple currencies to display in the wallet!

Multiple languages are coming to offer better accessibility for users around the world!

The send feature now displays estimated fees to give a better cost overview!

Musk Turns On Starlink to Save Iranians from Regime’s Internet Crackdown

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a visionary behind SpaceX, has flipped the switch on Starlink, delivering internet to Iranians amid a brutal regime crackdown.

This move comes on the heels of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, as the Islamic Republic cuts off online access.

The former Department of Government Efficiency chief activated Starlink satellite internet service for Iranians on Saturday following the Islamic Republic's decision to impose nationwide internet restrictions.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, that the Islamic Republic’s Communications Ministry announced the move, stating, "In view of the special conditions of the country, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet."

This action followed a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

Starlink, a SpaceX-developed satellite constellation, provides high-speed internet to regions with limited connectivity, such as remote areas or conflict zones.

Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox News contributor, highlighted its impact, noting, "Elon Musk turning on Starlink for Iran in 2022 was a game changer. Starlink connects directly to SpaceX satellites, bypassing Iran’s ground infrastructure. That means even during government-imposed shutdowns or censorship, users can still get online, and reportedly more than 100,000 inside Iran are doing that."

During the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, Starlink enabled Iranians to communicate and share footage globally despite network blackouts," she added.

MacDonald also mentioned ongoing tests of "direct-to-cell" capabilities, which could allow smartphone connections without a dish, potentially expanding access and supporting free expression and protest coordination.

Musk confirmed the activation, noting on Saturday, "The beams are on."

This follows the regime’s internet shutdowns, which were triggered by Israeli military actions.

Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people on Friday, urging resistance against the regime.

"Israel's fight is not against the Iranian people. Our fight is against the murderous Islamic regime that oppresses and impoverishes you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch, called on military and security forces to abandon the regime, accusing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Persian-language social media post of forcing Iranians into an unwanted war.

Starlink has been a beacon in other crises. Beyond Iran, Musk has leveraged Starlink to assist people during natural disasters and conflicts.

In the wake of hurricanes and earthquakes, Starlink has provided critical internet access to affected communities, enabling emergency communications and coordination.

Similarly, during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Musk activated Starlink to support Ukrainian forces and civilians, ensuring they could maintain contact and access vital information under dire circumstances.

The genius entrepreneur, is throwing a lifeline to the oppressed in Iran, and the libs can’t stand it.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin praised Musk’s action, reposting a message stating that Starlink would "reconnect the Iranian people with the internet and put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime."

"God bless you, Elon. The Starlink beams are on in Iran!" Levin wrote.

Musk, who recently stepped down from leading the DOGE in the Trump administration, has apologized to President Trump for past criticisms, including his stance on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

GENIUS Act lets State banks conduct some business nationwide. Regulators object

The Senate passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins last week, but significant work remains before it becomes law. The House has a different bill, the STABLE Act, with notable differences that must be reconciled. State banking regulators have raised strong objections to a provision in the GENIUS Act that would allow state banks to operate nationwide without authorization from host states or a federal regulator.

The controversial clause permits a state bank with a regulated stablecoin subsidiary to provide money transmitter and custodial services in any other state. While host states can impose consumer protection laws, they cannot require the usual authorization and oversight typically needed for out-of-state banking operations.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors welcomed some changes in the GENIUS Act but remains adamantly opposed to this particular provision. In a statement, CSBS said:

“Critical changes must be made during House consideration of the legislation to prevent unintended consequences and further mitigate financial stability risks. CSBS remains concerned with the dramatic and unsupported expansion of the authority of uninsured banks to conduct money transmission or custody activities nationwide without the approval or oversight of host state supervisors (Sec. 16(d)).”

The National Conference of State Legislatures expressed similar concerns in early June, stating:

“We urge you to oppose Section 16(d) and support state authority to regulate financial services in a manner that reflects local conditions, priorities and risk tolerances. Preserving the dual banking system and respecting state autonomy is essential to the safety, soundness and diversity of our nation’s financial sector.”

Evolution of nationwide authorization

Section 16 addresses several issues beyond stablecoins, including preventing a recurrence of the SEC’s SAB 121, which forced crypto assets held in custody onto balance sheets. However, the nationwide authorization subsection was added after the legislation cleared the Senate Banking Committee, with two significant modifications since then.

Originally, the provision applied only to special bank charters like Wyoming’s Special Purpose Depository Institutions or Connecticut’s Innovation Banks. Examples include crypto-focused Custodia Bank and crypto exchange Kraken in Wyoming, plus traditional finance player Fnality US in Connecticut. Recently the scope was expanded to cover most state chartered banks with stablecoin subsidiaries, possibly due to concerns about competitive advantages.

Simultaneously, the clause was substantially tightened. The initial version allowed state chartered banks to provide money transmission and custody services nationwide for any type of asset, which would include cryptocurrencies. Now these activities can only be conducted by the stablecoin subsidiary, and while Section 16(d) doesn’t explicitly limit services to stablecoins, the GENIUS Act currently restricts issuers to stablecoin related activities.

However, the House STABLE Act takes a more permissive approach, allowing regulators to decide which non-stablecoin activities are permitted. If the House version prevails in reconciliation, it could result in a significant expansion of allowed nationwide banking activities beyond stablecoins.

Is it that bad?

As originally drafted, the clause seemed overly permissive.

The amended clause makes sense for stablecoin issuers. They want to have a single regulator and be able to provide the stablecoin services throughout the United States. But it also leans into the perception outside of crypto that this is just another form of regulatory arbitrage.

The controversy over Section 16(d) reflects concerns about creating a regulatory gap that allows banks to operate interstate without the oversight typically required from either federal or state authorities. As the two Congressional chambers work toward reconciliation, lawmakers must decide whether stablecoin legislation should include provisions that effectively reduce traditional banking oversight requirements.

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina Heaver explained:

“RWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.”

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

“Tokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.”

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.
