A Chain-Agnostic DeFi Aggregation Layer
Sign up for updates
If you are new to DeFi and have no wallet yet, we have created demo.eth as a great testing address. Download the app, enter demo.eth, and magic will appear.
Additional integration for Argent, TokenPocket, and Ledger will come next. There is no limit to the number of wallets we support.
There exists no product on the market that allows users to track and manage their entire DeFi portfolio from anywhere.
Lending, borrowing, staking, asset swapping, and providing liquidity are isolated, painful experiences.
Frontier is at its core, an aggregator. We fix the fragmentation problem by enabling unified Compound, Maker, Synthetix, Aave, InstaDApp, Uniswap, bZx, Balancer, and Curve monitoring and management.
As more protocols are added into the ecosystem, Frontier provides support.
Non-custodial wallets are great for holding cryptoassets, but strict app guidelines make them unusable when participating in DeFi. Many wallets also willfully attempt to create lock-in—this results in users downloading multiple wallets and creating many addresses to participate in one ecosystem. We must do better.
To date, we have added integrations with Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, imToken, and Fortmatic. More will come. Our users never need to transfer assets into Frontier to participate in DeFi. We send them where they already are while giving them the best that DeFi has to offer.
Providing collateral for loans, staking, giving liquidity to pools, and token swaps are stressful experiences, not because they are difficult concepts but because they are overly complicated. Friction exists in DeFi right now, and beginners find themselves at odds with DeFiʼs current UX practices.
Building better means crafting great user interactions with DeFi protocols, better experiences entering and exiting liquidity pools and more precise in-app communication about the benefits and risks of products. Our current Beta app is close. Our Version 2 relaunch will be much closer. The end goal is to remove all DeFi doubt through better design.
It was during April 2019 that we first developed the concept of Frontier. At that time there was no DeFi “hype” or “bubble”. Our goal was not to trend chase but to lead ourselves into making a product that we needed. This was the “scratch your own itch phase” of our company.
The first commit to our Android app GitHub repository took place on May 1st, 2019.
The first commit to our iOS app GitHub repository took place on August 29th, 2019.
The first versions of Frontier beta for Android and iOS are sent to a limited number of DeFi power users and internal testers. Bug hunting and refinements take place before we publicly announce the launch of Frontier Wallet for Android and iOS.
Frontier Beta for Android and iOS are launched, with tracking support for MakerDAO, Compound, Set Protocol, Uniswap, and dY/dX.
During December we launched support for bZx Protocol, ENS Domains, and entered into a partnership with Biconomy to enable gasless transactions for select DeFi operations within Frontier.
The primary theme for Frontier during 2019 was to stay lean and bootstrapped. We built, found market traction, exhibited a proper product-market fit, and did it with a passionate team that continues to push the boundaries of what we believe a DeFi-native aggregation layer should be. While our flagship products were wallets, that was just the beginning. Much more would come during 2020.
Tracking was added for MakerDAO MCD vaults and DSR, as well as InstaDapp’s MCD vaults, CDPs, and Compound lending positions. We additionally added tracking support for TokenSets. On the partnership front, we announced our official partnership with Matic Network to bring native Matic staking into mobile devices.
Our biggest accomplishment during this month was introducing wallet composability. This directly addressed the DeFi fragmentation problem with mobile wallets.
We also came out of beta, integrated with DeFiZap, and added tracking support for Synthetix SNX staking rewards, balances, and synths.
Support for Argent and Authereum address tracking was added during March. We also announced a formal partnership with Kava Labs, teasing a USDX minting feature via Binance Chain’s BNB staking.
Frontier becomes the first DeFi application to integrate native Trust Wallet SDK support, making DeFi onboarding and transaction signing seamless and convenient. Coinbase Wallet support is added, and smart DeFi notifications on mobile are also added into Frontier during April. Finally, we ended this month with native support for MakerDAO Vaults and DSR on mobile.
We announced a formal partnership with Elrond Network during May, including our intention to support DeFi-related Elrond products in Frontier. Native support for Yearn and InstaDApp was announced. Matic staking development neared completion during this month, as well.
June was highlighted by a partnership with Band Protocol for native mobile $BAND staking. Native MakerDAO track and manage support for newly added collateral types 0x ($ZRX) and Kyber Network ($KNC) was also added into Frontier.
Frontier officially joined the Celo Alliance as a Growth partner, with plans to integrate Celo Blockchain into our applications with full support for cUSD and CELO. We also released $BNB staking and $USDX minting via Kava. Finally, we teased $FRONT token.
Major milestones to release include, but are not limited to, the following:
Q4 development will be dedicated to many under-the-hood improvements:
We expect to release Frontier Chain testnet during Q1 of 2021, which is our most important milestone to kick off what we believe will be a big year for Frontier:
Along with major protocol, wallet, and platform integrations into our existing suite of products, our primary focus during the second quarter of 2021 will be releasing Frontier Chain mainnet, which will put is in a fantastic position to release decentralized key management and governance.
One of the greatest barriers of entry to DeFi participants and crypto participants in general is the fear of losing backup keys and seed phrases. We will release a Decentralized Key Management protocol that solves the issue of fear of loss of funds as well as nonrecoverable funds.
On-chain governance for Frontier will be dictated by stakeholders. There will be no unfair advantage given to the ecosystem, reserve, team, or other token allocations that were neither acquired from the secondary market or through Seed, Private, and Public $FRONT rounds. Metrics for gFRONT will be determined as we observe $FRONT holding patterns during the year.
The primary thesis under which we have been operating at Frontier since early 2019 is that DeFi will never again be an edge case. All data indicates more participation happening within the ecosystem. Our vision of the greatest Onramp, DeFi to CeFi, CeFi to DeFi, and Offramp flows will come to fruition during 2021 and beyond.
