26th GM Radio held
The 26th GM Radio will be streamed on Thursday, May 25th at 20:00 on the CP_Global Twitter space. This time we invite Jan Smejkal CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) of Xverse as a guest.
Xverse is a project that develops a crypto asset (virtual currency) Bitcoin (BTC) wallet. The name of the wallet is also Xverse.
The official website explains that the Xverse team is a global community. What the team members have in common is that they have the desire to build a better world using blockchain technology.
The mission of the project is to give people control over their data and property. To do so, it seeks to build an accessible internet and decentralized economy where users can control their ownership.
The project is described as utilizing the entire blockchain, but the product is currently specialized in Bitcoin. Smejkal also has a diverse career, including a stint at Credit Suisse, but appears to be focusing on Bitcoin-specific activities.
In the past, he worked for a fund that invested exclusively in Bitcoin use cases, and currently hosts a Bitcoin-related stream, The Ordinal Show.
Wallet features
Xverse as a wallet is a non-custodial Bitcoin wallet. You can use it with a Chrome browser extension on your computer, and you can download and use the app on iOS and Android mobile devices.
In addition to the Bitcoin blockchain, it also supports layers such as “Stacks (STX),” which provides smart contract functions to Bitcoin. In the future, it will also support instant transactions on the Lightning Network.

The official website describes Xverse as “the Bitcoin wallet for Web3”. With Xverse, you can also buy and sell NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) like Ordinals, as well as “Stacking” to lock STX tokens and earn Bitcoin as a reward.

In addition, they are currently conducting security audits, etc., but explain that they will make Xverse open source once the necessary processes are completed.
The theme for this year’s GM Radio is “Bitcoin Wallets for Ordinals”. We plan to ask Mr. Smejkal about the characteristics of the wallet and future plans.
