[on December 28th]

A recent token sale of IGNIS, a bold new ICO by the creators of NXT and Ardor blockchain platforms, was a great success, earning over $15,000,000. Following this sale, there will soon be a free airdrop of 500 million IGNIS available to all NXT holders in the next Ardor Genesis Snapshot, scheduled for December 28th, 2017. Freewallet is proud to announce full support for the IGNIS token distribution in collaboration with Jelurida, the developer of both NXT and ARDR.

The NXT Snapshot will happen on December 28th at block height 1636363 (for more details visit the Jelurida  website). Freewallet users will receive 0.5 free IGNIS for each NXT held in their wallets at the time of the snapshot. This will be the last chance to acquire extra IGNIS tokens before the launch of the Ardor main network on January 1st, 2018.

As the NXT and ARDR wallets are part of the Freewallet family, holders of the latter will also be able to benefit from the coming Ardor blockchain launch. ARDR will be moving to a separate chain on the January 1st, 2018, and all holders of these tokens on the NXT network at the time of the snapshot will receive the same amount of ARDR coins on the dedicated Ardor platform.

Freewallet will soon release a special IGNIS wallet for all token holders. IGNIS tokens will also be added to the Multi Wallet available on Android, iOS, as well as on the web. We put together a brief guide for anyone interested in making the most from the upcoming IGNIS airdrop and ARDR mainnet launch with Freewallet.

Step 1
Download and install the NXT and ARDR wallets or our Multi Wallet. If you have an iPhone or an iPad, we recommend using our web-based Multi Wallet as both cryptos aren’t yet fully supported by Apple.

Step 2
Top up your NXT and ARDR balances at least 24 hours before the snapshot. Please monitor your in-app notifications; you can also subscribe to our official Facebook and Twitter pages to stay in touch!

Step 3
Once the Ardor blockchain launches in the beginning of January 2018, you’ll be able to download and install the new IGNIS app and enjoy your free tokens. We’ll be also updating our ARDR wallet to provide a seamless migration to the dedicated chain. Simply log into your updated wallet to see your Ardor coins!

Alvin Hagg, Freewallet co-founder, commented: “We’re confident that the NXT and Ardor platforms and the future ones to stem from them will contribute to the development of the blockchain technology as a whole. That is why Freewallet’s mission is to make sure our users can reap the profits from all updates introduced by the developers and enjoy the latest technological advances. Congratulations to Jelurida on a very important milestone on their project roadmap!”

Bitcoin has shown a tremendous growth in 2017, with its price touching $20,000 and its introduction on to the futures exchanges. As a result, the BTC network is overloaded at the end of the year. Massive transaction delays are reported by all wallet operators, and network fees reach up to hundreds of dollars in equivalent.

Freewallet recommends flash transfers or instant off-chain transactions among our users as a way to save your time and money. Flash transfers take literally seconds to be completed; plus there are no fees associated with them.

“In December 2017, BTC network fees can be as high as $100 and more. That is, of course, if you don’t want to watch your transaction stuffed in the mempool waiting to be picked up by the miners. Since flash transfers are performed off the Bitcoin network, they are delivered instantly, and Freewallet has never charged users for making transactions,” Alvin Hagg, Freewallet co-founder, explains.

Freewallet, a mobile-first cryptowallet developer, has presented a full-scale Multi Wallet version for desktop. This significant release tops off 2017 run by the company that has accomplished 8 new currencies this year including such ambitious projects as the world-first Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold wallet.

In less than 2 years, Freewallet team have released more than 20 dedicated apps for popular cryptocurrencies and tokens. Shortly after the release of the mobile Multi Wallet for Android and iOS the team started receiving plenty of requests to proceed with further development of a service for storing, managing and exchanging various coins in one place.

"We were initially planning to deliver solutions for each coin and its corresponding network individually," Alvin Hagg, Freewallet co-founder, recounts. "That seemed logical at that time because there was a community with unique goals and needs behind each coin. However, we soon discovered that a vast group of people didn't limit their portfolios to a single cryptocurrency and were inspired by the blockchain technology in general. That was exactly why we decided to bring the Multi Wallet to a whole new level."

After months in beta and extensive testing, the web-based Multi Wallet is currently available in full on Freewallet's website. After logging in with the preferred authorization method (e-mail, Facebook, Google+ or mobile number) users have access to a variety of features including the signature one: free instant transactions of the same coin among Freewallet users. This option comes especially handy these days when even major networks (such as Bitcoin) are massively overloaded, resulting in delays in transactions and spiralling fees. Being able to move coins instantly and at zero charges is crucial for our customers, and Freewallet is proud to offer an optimum solution to them.

Other unique options presented both in Multi Wallet and other Freewallet apps feature fast and simple integrated cross-currency exchanges and a multilayer asset protection system with customizable email confirmations, the PIN code and 2-factor authentication.

The Multi Wallet for the web would be a great choice not only for multi-asset holders looking for extended mobility but also for Freewallet users with Apple devices in particular. Most coins and practically all tokens used to be available in the Android app only due to the lack of Apple's support for them. However, with the new Multi Wallet, it's now possible to view and manage the uncapped selection of crypto assets that Freewallet offers.
