I’ve been playing around with the new update today, and really excited about this project. It runs Ethereum and Gnosis light nodes in browser you can use as RPC for the inbuilt wallet; which is in itself also very nice. You can connect Ledger now too. It resolves even Tezos domains. And of course browsing IPFS natively so great. For me this project feels as the light at the end of the tunnel :) Finally the p2p unstoppable internet is coming true.
