HB Wallet 4.4.0 Update – The Grand Rebirth
HB Wallet has long been one of BACOOR’s most successful and proud products, with a steadily growing user base every month.
However, over time, the ETH-only model of HB Wallet has revealed several limitations for its users, especially as the market now offers many alternative solutions that are more advantageous.
In response, the HB Wallet team has decided to upgrade HB Wallet to a superior version, transitioning from a Uni-chain wallet to a Multi-chain model. This upgrade also includes numerous enhancements and additions to the UI, features, and overall user experience.
Let’s dive in and explore the biggest update in HB Wallet’s history!
HB Wallet Is Now a Multi-chain Wallet
Since its creation, HB Wallet has been a Uni-chain wallet, operating solely on the Ethereum network for a long time. However, limiting users to a single chain—Ethereum—has revealed several drawbacks over time.
While Ethereum remains a powerful Layer 1 blockchain, its high transaction costs have prompted many users to migrate to other networks with lower fees.
Recognizing these challenges, our team has decided to upgrade HB Wallet into a Multi-chain Wallet to better serve our users in our HB Wallet 4.4.0 Update.
We have added support for:
- EVM chains (e.g., Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, and more)
- Bitcoin chain
- Solana chain
- Base chain
Beyond these default chains, users can also add custom EVM-compatible chains of their choice. This flexibility empowers users and significantly enhances their overall experience.
What Happens to Existing Users During the Upgrade?
All accounts from the older versions of HB Wallet will be automatically transferred to the new version upon updating.
Users only need to update to version 4.4.0, and everything else will migrate seamlessly. Plus, users will now have access to multiple chains and exciting new features.
Let’s explore the other changes in this latest version of HB Wallet!
Completely New Interface
Alongside the latest updates and features, HB Wallet now comes with a refreshed interface that is more intuitive and user-friendly. The improved design makes it easier for users to navigate and locate functionalities.
The new UI organizes features into a well-structured toolbar with the following sections:
- Wallet Connect: Centrally located on the toolbar, this feature allows users to quickly scan QR codes to connect seamlessly with DApps.
- Pinned TX: Positioned at the first spot on the toolbar, this feature enables users to pin important transactions after execution. These pinned transactions are easily accessible via the Pinned TX tab.
- Accounts: The next section provides detailed information about users’ accounts, with wallet addresses categorized by chain for better organization and management.
- Assets: Located third on the toolbar, this section lets users monitor their owned assets and perform actions like sending, receiving, or exchanging tokens directly.
- History: The final section on the toolbar logs transaction history, making it simple for users to review and track their past activities.
Keeping Up with The Market
This update introduces several highly beneficial features designed to enhance the user experience and meet the evolving needs of the cryptocurrency market.
One standout feature is “Search Coin”, which allows users to monitor price fluctuations and transaction volumes of assets across different chains. It also highlights top-performing assets and those with the highest trading volumes, enabling users to quickly grasp critical market trends and stay ahead in the ever-changing crypto landscape.
Additionally, users can search for detailed information about the tokens they are tracking, making wallet management more convenient and intuitive.
This feature can be accessed in the Assets tab, represented by the third icon on the function menu.
More Security Measures
HB Wallet empowers users with advanced security features to prevent unnecessary mistakes related to accounts and transactions.
Users can access these features in the app’s settings section.
Biometric Security Measure
Users can set up a Passcode as a primary security method—a 4-digit code created by the user. Once the Passcode is set, users can further enhance security by enabling Fingerprint Authentication, adding an extra layer of protection for their accounts.
These security settings act as the final verification step for user actions. For instance, when sending assets, users must confirm the transaction using their Passcode or fingerprint for additional safety.
Backup Wallet
The Backup Wallet feature is an essential security measure, allowing users to restore their wallet if it is accidentally deleted or reset. Here’s how to use it:
- Navigate to Settings: Access the wallet’s settings menu.
- Select the Backup Wallet Option: Click on the Backup Wallet option. If your wallet hasn’t been backed up yet, this option will be highlighted with a red border for emphasis.
- Set a Password for the Backup File: Create a password for the backup file. Note: You can set different passwords for different backup files. However, to recover a backup file, you must enter the exact password used when creating it.
- Choose a Storage Location: Select a folder on your phone where the backup file will be saved.
- Complete the Backup: Finalize the process to save your backup file securely.
This feature ensures your wallet remains recoverable and protected, even in unforeseen circumstances.
Search for Instructions
With such a major and fresh update, it’s natural for some users to take time to adapt to the new interface. To make this transition easier, we’ve added a User Guide feature, conveniently located in the upper-right corner of the app, marked with a magnifying glass icon.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for key wallet operations, including:
- Connecting to DApps
- Sending and receiving assets
- Exchanging tokens
- And much more
