4 min readMay 11, 2020

Why use Flutter to develop?

The previous version tried to develop Polkawallet with React Native, we want to try different frameworks and explore different solutions. Through exploration, we saw that the fluency of the Flutter version has greatly improved, which is a good attempt.

Can other teams make secondary development based on Polkawallet?

Of course, we use a very loose Apache License 2.0, you can make free changes based on Polkawallet. We have contacted some projects to help them carry out secondary development. Such as datahighway.com. Of course, we hope that the project will directly contribute to Polkawallet to integrate its own project so that the integration is shared.

There has the link of Github repository:
