I just have a couple more questions?
Can you swap my DOT tokens to other crypto with Nova Wallet?
Is it open-source?
Yes, there is a Swap feature built right into the wallet. You can also use the Hydration application directly within the wallet along with other ecosystem DEXs.
Yes, it is open-source: Novasama Technologies · GitHub

You’re most welcome!
I checked out Nova Wallet and also did some research on my own.
Found this open-source wallet, Gem Wallet · GitHub
Has anyone tried this yet?
It has support for other crypto as well besides Polkadot.
I’ve never heard of it before. Happy to see more wallets supporting Polkadot though.

I’ve been using Nova on my iPhone for a while now and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. The UI is super clean and it makes things like staking or joining crowdloans way less intimidating.
