# Ben Wallet

Ben is the *first*, W*eb + Android native hybrid wallet* for the KALE ecosystem on Stellar, offering a friendly, intuitive and easy to use UX.

**Goals**

* Easy onboarding to Stellar via the KALE ecosystem.
* Easier UX for current complex clients (this app serves as an easier to use counterpart to the console miners).
* Both an Ecosystem Value-producing application and a Developer mainnet live testing tool.
* It is important to highlight that once new protocol versions are deployed (starting with Protocol 23 since it was a huge change!), higher limits will require higher network usage to re-test; the mobile app has the potential to bring additional “test” users (where load comes from real-life interactions).

* Test client for follow-up AnyToken paymaster project. 

**Stellar Ecosystem Value-Add & Strategy**

* It has become very clear that Web3 will be built upon mobile apps. We should invest into tech and tools that make building them on Stellar, easier. 
* Putting more weight into device-targeted focused apps might provide a head start with upcoming NFC tech for payments. 
* Standardize Smart Wallets and Passkeys on Stellar as build primitives.
* Provide an implementation reference (and operations framework) for future mobile native apps on Stellar.
* In the long-term, generate enough value-add in terms of interest and engagement from both the Kotlin and Jetbrains community, for Web3 mobile-focused projects.
* New Operations infrastructure components coming from out of live network operations of the platform.
