Shiba Inu (SHIB) reveals new wallet features
SHIB revealed a new feature for its wallet, which includes a forget-proof recovery system and an email-based sign-in capability.

The new wallet also boasts a recovery feature, which is different from the traditional seed phrase system. Users will be able to recover their wallets via multiple-factor authentication.
The wallet will also include fee-less transactions. Hence, users do not need to hold the network’s native token to send funds.
The launch of the new features may lead to an increase in users. However, since users do not need to hold the native token, we may not see a surge in SHIB purchases. Nonetheless, the development is still a bullish move as it could lead to more people coming into the SHIB ecosystem.
