In April 2022, Argent raised $40 million in a Series B funding round to enhance its non-custodial Ethereum mobile wallet app. The funds supported geographic expansion, particularly in Latin America, and further development of its DeFi and Web3 product offerings. 1In a platform update from April 2024, Argent announced a new feature known as Argent X import.

In August 2020, Frontier secured $1.85 million in seed funding, with participation from key investors such as FTX and Alameda Research, to expand its DeFi aggregation capabilities and support multiple blockchain protocols. 3Frontier has since made a significant pivot in its service model.

 

Now redefined as a comprehensive web3 wallet, Frontier offers a single interface where users can send, store, and invest in over 4,000 crypto assets. This includes earning passive income through staking or supplying assets in DeFi apps. As a non-custodial wallet, Frontier ensures that users retain exclusive control over their private keys, emphasizing user autonomy and security while requiring users to manage their own key security and asset protection. This pivot not only reflects Frontier’s adaptation to the evolving needs of the DeFi and cryptocurrency communities, but also the versatility and flexibility of .xyz domains. 

In January 2023, Frontier introduced an in-browser wallet extension supporting over 35 blockchains, including newer networks like Aptos and Sui. 4This update helps users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), staking, NFTs, and token bridging through a single portal, simplifying the user experience across diverse crypto activities.
