SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BRD, the most secure mobile cryptocurrency wallet trusted by more than 7 million users and with $20 billion worth of digital assets under protection, announced today support for staking with the integration of the Tezos blockchain.

This milestone represents the first time staking is being offered in the BRD app and is available to BRD customers worldwide on both iOS and Android. The addition of staking functionality enables long-term crypto investors to earn staking rewards with the cryptocurrencies stored in their BRD wallets. Staking XTZ is done near-instantly within the Tezos Wallet inside the BRD app.

Now we are introducing a simple way for the long-term investors on our platform to earn rewards while securing their cryptocurrency.

"We are thrilled to see BRD incorporate Tezos staking functionality into its platform. Tezos was designed as a proof-of-stake network from the very start - one where all participants can actively help secure the blockchain, influence its development, and earn rewards along the way," says Alison Mangiero, President of TQ Tezos, which works to advance the Tezos ecosystem through creating open-source software and providing support for companies that want to build on Tezos.

"It's always good to see more wallet options for Tezos users, now they can delegate to a baker with their BRD wallet," said Arthur Breitman, an early architect of Tezos.

The inclusion of Tezos staking functionality reaffirms BRD's longstanding commitment to bringing the best-of-breed buying, trading, and rewards products for the mainstream consumer audience. Additionally, the Tezos blockchain is available in Blockset, the enterprise-focused digital asset toolkit built by BRD. Blockset enables enterprises, institutions, and governments to integrate digital assets into their products. Blockset's infrastructure and technology have been powering the BRD mobile app since 2020.

The ability to stake XTZ represents a few key benefits to BRD's existing users that include:

  • Earning rewards in XTZ by holding XTZ
  • Staking in less than one minute
  • Staking in a simple, highly secure, non-custodial environment

"Our singular focus on security and self-custody has propelled BRD into one of the top crypto apps downloaded globally," said Adam Traidman, CEO and Co-founder of BRD. "Now we are introducing a simple way for the long-term investors on our platform to earn rewards while securing their cryptocurrency."

The BRD app is available for download from the App Store or Google Play. To discover how Blockset by BRD can be used to build enterprise-grade digital asset solutions, please visit http://www.blockset.com. For general information, please visit http://www.BRD.com.
