Talisman (talisman.xyz) is a community-owned wallet and web application that enables users to “traverse the Paraverse” with ease. We believe in a future where everyone has freedom via true agency over their intentions and finances, and we believe that DotSama will bring this to fruition.
For more on Talisman’s mission and approach, please see Agyle’s talk at Polkadot Decoded: Polkadot Decoded 2022: Traverse the Paraverse: How Talisman is bringing multi-chain to the masses
And Jonathan’s talk about wallet UX at the Sub0 developer conference:
Talisman: The UX Chronicles: How To Deliver A Substrate Experience To The Masses
Today, because of its early stage of development and complex multi-chain architecture, both Polkadot and Kusama are changing rapidly and the user experience (UX) can be confusing for end users. It’s our goal to solve that using design, storytelling, and engineering. We abstract away the complexity of underlying implementation and provide a friendly user experience when using DotSama and a way to discover new applications and services available to end users, while keeping them safe and educated about the actions they are taking.
After speaking with Joe Petrowski and in anticipation of the Statemint roadmap on the Polkadot Forum, Talisman would like to propose a beautiful, intuitive and user-friendly frontend for the Statemint DEX.
This DEX will be usable from any Polkadot ecosystem wallet supported by the open source Talisman web app, including: Polkadot.js (500,000+ users), Talisman (20,000+ users), SubWallet (20,000+ users), and Enkrypt (20,000+ users), with mobile wallet support on the roadmap.
The Statemint DEX is a critically important addition to Polkadot to both bring liquidity into the ecosystem and to enable liquidity to flow between parachains. We will apply Talisman’s UX and design philosophy to create an easy to use experience for users to acquire, exchange and utilize their assets, hosted within Talisman’s web application at https://app.talisman.xyz.
We would love to get your feedback on the proposal. Please see the full proposal here.
