Screenshot2025 07 14080830 Pn The Need for a Wallet A cryptocurrency wallet is essential for anyone engaging with digital assets, offering:
  1. Self-Custody & Security
    • Full control over private keys, eliminating reliance on third-party custodians.
  2. Borderless Transactions
    • Instant global transfers without intermediaries or banking delays.
  3. Access to Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
    • Earn yield, stake assets, and interact with blockchain applications.
  4. Enhanced Privacy
    • Conduct transactions without unnecessary personal data exposure.

Why Shiga Wallet Stands Out

​
1. Regulatory Compliance & Security

  • Non-custodial architecture (users retain full asset control).
  • Licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in the EU, ensuring adherence to financial regulations.

​
2. Seamless Fiat-to-Crypto Integration

  • Instant conversions between stablecoins (USDT/USDC) and fiat (USD, EUR, etc.), reducing reliance on external exchanges.

​
3. Multi-Chain Support

  • Unified access to Ethereum, Solana, and other leading blockchain networks—no need for multiple wallets.

​
4. Business-Optimized Features

  • Shared wallets for team-based asset management.
  • Tax and reporting tools for streamlined compliance.
  • Pan-African liquidity support, facilitating cross-border trade.

​
5. Cost Efficiency

  • Optimized gas fees and transaction routing to minimize costs (as shown by the “Gas Fee Saved” metric).

  • EVM Wallet Balance: Your balance on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks (e.g., $50.00).
  • Solana Wallet Balance: Another wallet balance (e.g., $2000.00).
  • Wallet Address: Your unique address for receiving crypto (e.g., 0421P2E5086…6Fc583BF6499dE).

​
What’s a Gas Fee?

  • Gas Fee: A small fee paid to process transactions on the blockchain. Think of it as the “fuel” that keeps the crypto world running!
  • Sending stablecoins on Shiga is very cheap compared to the Centralised and Decentralised exchanges.
