Stellar ecosystem wallet Freighter rebrands to Varial, adding app discovery and token swap features

TechFlow news, Oct. 29: According to Stellar's official announcement, the former Stellar network wallet Freighter has officially rebranded to Varial and shifted its business focus to helping users discover and use apps in the Stellar ecosystem. The new wallet adds a Discover app directory, token swaps, price charts, and NFT management, and provides malicious transaction protection through Blockaid. Officials said users' private keys remain stored on local devices, and the wallet itself charges no fees.

Going forward, Varial also plans to launch an Earn feature, initially supporting Blend DeFi position management, and is working with Lightsail to develop cross-chain deposit addresses that allow users to transfer USDC from EVM wallets.
