Partnership Spotlight: MyEtherWallet + Topper

‍Topper x MyEtherWallet: A New Way to Buy Ethereum

At Topper, we are proud to announce our partnership with MyEtherWallet (MEW). This partnership integrates our fiat on-ramp service into MEW’s web platform and mobile app, improving how users interact with their Ethereum assets. Let’s explore what makes MEW a standout wallet, how Topper enhances their services, and what this means for Ethereum users.

What is MyEtherWallet?

MyEtherWallet, also known as MEW, is a non-custodial, open-source wallet for Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, Layer 2s, and multiple non-EVM networks. Established shortly after Ethereum’s launch, MEW provides a secure and user-friendly way for individuals to manage their crypto assets directly on the blockchain.

Key Features of MyEtherWallet

• Self-Custody Wallet: MyEtherWallet ensures you hold your keys and maintain complete control over your assets. Unlike custodial wallets, MEW does not have access to or control over your crypto. Your keys and your funds remain solely under your control.
• Multiple Access Points: MyEtherWallet is available through various platforms, including the MEW Portfolio web interface, MEW Mobile wallet for iOS and Android, and the browser extension Enkrypt. Users can also connect through MetaMask and various hardware wallets like Ledger. For added security, users can send transactions offline using MEW’s Offline Helper.
• Token Management & Swapping: Users can buy, store, send, and swap ETH, ERC-20 tokens, and assets on Layer 2 networks like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base. MEW supports many cryptocurrencies, including ERC-20 tokens, ETH, ETC, BTC, and more.
• DApp Store & Smart Contracts: Explore various decentralized applications (DApps) for DeFi, Ethereum 2.0 staking, ENS domain registration, and more. Also, users can deploy and interact with smart contracts directly from MEW.
• Educational Resources: Access a comprehensive Help Center with materials to help you navigate the Ethereum blockchain and secure your assets, browse an educational blog with feature guides and deep dives, and sign up for a weekly newsletter.

Understanding MEW’s Key Features

• Self-Custody: MyEtherWallet does not have access to your funds or personal information. Only you can control your assets and private keys. MEW cannot reverse transactions, recover lost funds, or access your account.
• Open-Source: MyEtherWallet’s code is available for review and contributions on GitHub. This transparency helps ensure the platform's integrity.
• Client-Side: MEW operates without behind-the-scenes servers that store personal user data. All information is pulled directly from the Ethereum blockchain.

‍How to Stay Secure with MyEtherWallet

• Use a Hardware Wallet: For enhanced security, using a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S or Trezor with MEW Portfolio is recommended for high-value holdings.
• Download the MEW Mobile App: The MEW Mobile wallet app is available on mobile devices for a secure and user-friendly experience.
• Follow Security Practices: Keep your private key, keystore/JSON file, or mnemonic phrase secure and offline. Bookmark MEW’s official URL and look for the secure padlock icon to ensure you’re on the authentic site.
• Stay Informed: Follow MEW’s educational blogs and be cautious of phishing attempts or unsolicited messages. For support, contact MEW at support@myetherwallet.com.
