Hey everyone! I am new here. Just want some recommendations on what wallet to use. I would like to buy and hold Polkadot? I am using an iPhone. Thanks.

Yes :+1: you can buy Polkadot there, and yes, it is highly recommended, especially if you’re on iPhone.

Definitely check out Nova Wallet: https://novawallet.io/ For a full list of ecosystem wallets, see here: Polkadot

I just have a couple more questions? Can you swap my DOT tokens to other crypto with Nova Wallet? Is it open-source?

Thanks. Will look into it then.

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.
