The Wuabit service will give users access to their tokens through WhatsApp. In essence, the wallet will appear linked to WhatsApp and is capable of all the regular wallet functions. This includes sending, receiving, and trading crypto assets.

According to Wuabit, it is a “cryptocurrency wallet accessible via a chat interface.”

The Wuabit team is planning on bringing the service to other messaging platforms Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Viber. According to Medium, the service will be smart, implementing AI to enable users to type statements telling it to send crypto. This means it is accessible to those who aren’t tech-savvy and want a convenient and simple way to deal in crypto. The overall aim of the service is to help the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

At present, the service supports Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) (BTC). But Wuabit has said it may integrate Litecoin (available on Coinbase) (LTC), Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) Cash (BCH), and Ethereum (available on Coinbase) (ETH) in the coming months. A public beta will launch next month.
