The imminent Bloom wallet stays true to the mission of streamlining the core Web3 wallet experience for users. Evolving from Firefly’s established foundation, Bloom has its sights on becoming the most user-friendly, secure, and delightful wallet available.
Taking charge of the Bloom brigade are ex-Firefly maestros, Charlie Varley and Nicole O’Brien. Collaborating with them are ace developers David de Troch, Jean Ribeiro, Mark Nardi, and Matthew Maxwell. Furthermore, the expertise of Digital Zen, guided by Andrew Brough (ex-Director of UX and Design at IOTA Foundation), ensures premium user experience consultation. The team’s collective genius was pivotal to Firefly’s acclaim, and their singular skills are expected to carve new horizons with Bloom.
Harnessing the Power of Open-Source
The essence of open-source development takes center stage with this avant-garde fork, celebrating collaborative genius. Constructed under the Apache 2.0 license, Firefly has laid the foundation for the Bloom ensemble to utilize and enhance the existing codebase freely.
True to the spirit of collaborative development, Bloom envisions further contributions, albeit under a distinct licensing agreement. Anticipation builds around the innovative solutions the community will forge in tandem with Firefly and Bloom.
Laying Ground for IOTA 2.0 and Shimmer EVM
This endeavor is perceived as a monumental leap not just for the IOTA Foundation and the Bloom squadron but also the vast crypto diaspora marching towards IOTA 2.0. Bloom’s emergence aims to foster cooperation, invigorate healthy rivalry, and amplify growth throughout the ecosystem.
Simultaneously, Firefly will not be overshadowed. It recalibrates its focus solely on buttressing the core protocol, emerging as a testing arena for upcoming protocol enhancements, encapsulating IOTA 2.0. Conversely, Bloom rises as the torchbearer for pioneering user-centric attributes and leading-edge evolutions benefiting the holistic Web3 framework.
