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](https://github.com/novasamatech/) > **[Polkadot Support](https://support.polkadot.network/support/solutions/articles/65000185601-nova-wallet-overview)** > > Everyday users can find answers to their questions or issues in the extensive article list of Polkadot Support.

I checked out Nova Wallet and also did some research on my own. Found this open-source wallet, [Gem Wallet · GitHub](https://github.com/gemwalletcom/) Has anyone tried this yet? It has support for other crypto as well besides Polkadot. ---

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.
