About Komodo Wallet

Komodo Wallet is a non-custodial wallet for web, desktop and mobile with a built-in decentralised exchange. Trades are atomic swaps matched on a peer-to-peer order book, so either both sides receive their coins or the funds return to their owners, with no custodian or wrapped tokens. It supports UTXO coins such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Zcash, and EVM and Cosmos chains. The privacy policy says wallet setup involves no account creation or registration and that the app is published by TillyHK Limited; the end-user licence is governed by the law of Panama. The project says atomic swap development dates back to 2014 and BarterDEX launched in 2017.
