Testing Namada Mobile Wallets

Luminara sees mobile access to be key to real adoption.
Namada fee-sharing could support wallet devs long-term (see proposal), and there’s an active $20k bounty for wallet development.

Namada mobile wallets are emerging with at least 3 so far: One in stealth, another is preparing for demo. TNSO’s wallet (https://namadawallet.com) is ready for download so we’re starting with this. We’ll expand this thread as others are ready for testing.

Goal: gather feedback about the experience with suggestions for improvement.

Before we Start
We can’t verify the security of apps thoroughly. Please test responsibly.
Use a non-critical phone or isolate testing.

Android:

  • Set up a secondary user profile (if supported)
  • or use Android Studio on desktop

iPhone:

  • No easy sandboxing available for public App Store apps

Security Tips:

  • Deny anything non-essential.
  • Use test keys only.

What to Evaluate

  • Functionality & Coverage: Do core actions and essential features work as expected?
  • UX: Is the experience intuitive and smooth for all users?
  • Security & Stability: Any crashes, glitches, or unexpected behavior?
  • Overall Quality: Does the product feel production-ready and safe for use?

Share Your Feedback

  • Device + OS version
  • What worked well
  • What didn’t (technical bugs, or UI issues?)
  • General thoughts (suggestions, concerns, or anything else)

Thanks for testing! :folded_hands:
The more testers, the better the insights.

Device + OS

  • Galaxy S22 Ultra
  • Andriod 13 / One UI version 5.1

Mobile wallet notes

  • Beautiful graphics, looks sharp!

  • Seed phrase section should encourage writing down seed phrase and not copying or taking a picture :smiley:

  • needs to display QR code ( send funds from another phone / IRL person near by) so we can more easily get funds INTO the new wallet

  • wallet tab doesn’t “refresh” when sliding finger down, have to go to a different tab then back to Wallet tab to see updated amounts

  • needs a shield button ( shield emoji? ) right next to amounts displayed to encourage shielding

  • First stake tx worked, but aftewords I couldn’t do another (see video)

  • I think a wallet like this will be GREAT for governance, so easy to read and vote :slight_smile:

Overall this product is ready for power users only, but shows huge potential. Thank you for all the work thus far! :heart_eyes: :shield: :student:

Thank you very much for your test. Your feedback is very valuable ! :glowing_star:
Your comment about the addresses makes me think that, in addition to the QR code, having the ability to name and save trusted addresses could be a useful and practical feature.
