Summary:

In the last article, we learned how to unlock access to thousands of decentralized applications (DApps). In this article, we will discover how to access to more blockchains in the app.

The Bitcoin.com Wallet app supports multiple blockchains. It comes pre-installed with wallets for four chains: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Verse.

Users can also install wallets for Avalanche, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Zano, and the Multichain Wallet.

The Multichain Wallet is a special feature that supports multiple assets — BTC, BCH, ETH, AVAX, MATIC, and BNB — all under one wallet interface, while still operating on their respective blockchains.

The Bitcoin.com Team is continually expanding support for other blockchains, focusing on networks with low fees and high-speed transactions. This ensures that the DApps you use are fast, responsive, and cost-effective.
