Argent is the most simple and secure smart wallet for all things DeFi and Web3. It gives you the best of Ethereum at a fraction of the cost. It’s built on zkSync, a Layer 2. We also have Argent Vault, for the highest security on Ethereum Layer 1. And Argent X, a browser wallet for StarkNet.

Argent is available to download now on iOS and Android. For free. Anywhere in the world. And Argent X is available on Chrome and Firefox.

Argent X is the first wallet for StarkNet and has over 100,000 downloads. StarkNet is in Alpha at the moment, and there may be network outages and breaking changes.

Argent is the first non-custodial wallet with no seed phrase and no complexity. With your Argent Vault, enjoy peace of mind through locking and unlocking your account, auto blocking transactions, and setting trusted contacts. And your Argent zkSync account offers the best of Ethereum, at a fraction of the cost.

Argent is also unique for making decentralized apps like Uniswap, Aave, and Compound for L1 and Yearn, Lido, and ZigZag for L2 as accessible as Whatsapp.

Argent is built on the Ethereum blockchain. Your assets are stored on the blockchain and you control them through your Argent app. We can't access your assets. Or even stop you from accessing them yourself. You're in control, always.

You can read more on our blog. For fuller technical details, check out our Github. It contains an overview of our technical specifications and documents our architecture, which is open source.

Argent's non-custodial wallet means: 1) Only you can access your assets (not Argent or anyone else); 2) Nobody can stop you from accessing them (not even Argent). By contrast, a custodial wallet is like a traditional bank that holds your assets and (in the worst-case scenario) can lock you out anytime.

We're focused on Ethereum and Layer 2, and you can access over 240 different Ethereum-based tokens in your Argent Vault. This includes tokens such as ETH, DAI, USDC, BAT and Wrapped Bitcoin. For your zkSync account, there are fewer tokens to choose from, but more get added each week.

Argent currently supports Ethereum (Layer 1), zkSync (Layer 2), and StarkNet (Layer 2). Do not send funds to any chains that we don’t support. You will lose your funds.

We offer several ways to fund your zkSync account, including Bank transfer, Apple Pay, from another wallet you own, and more. We have a blog post that provides step-by-step instructions for each method.

No problem. Easily recover access using your trusted contacts, hardware wallets (Ledger and Trezor), or even a MetaMask account. This costs 'gas' Ethereum transaction fees. Or you can use our free wallet recovery method, which is our default option for zkSync. You'll never need a seed phrase again.

We believe the point of crypto is to give you control. So we built Argent to protect you even if the worst happened to us a company and we disappeared. In this scenario you could easily move your assets out using another wallet. We believe in freedom, not lock in.
