Say hello to Starknet on Argent Mobile
At Argent, we are committed to bringing crypto adoption to the masses with the aid of Account Abstraction. To keep up with this vision, we added Starknet to Argent Mobile, and in doing so, opened the Starknet ecosystem up to anyone with a mobile phone!
You can now also mint Spoks, view, hold and trade your NFTs from your Argent Mobile. Sounds pretty cool does it! Try it out if you haven’t already.
PS: At the moment you can’t import your Argent X account into Argent Mobile, but we are working hard on enabling this interoperability soon!
