Citizen Wallet: an open source wallet with account abstraction for your community token
# What is the Citizen Wallet?
An open source, community owned, crypto wallet with account abstraction (ERC4337) that you can easily customize for your community.

# Why yet another wallet?
Existing wallets are either for tech savvy people (e.g. metamask), or traders (people who already have money to invest).

But as a web3 project or DAO, what you want is an easy way for your community to receive and transfer *your tokens* (ERC20, ERC721, ...) without any technical or financial distraction.

Some web3 communities end up developing their own wallet but it feels like a waste of time and energy. It feels like back in the days where everyone was redeveloping a blog engine before Wordpress came along.

That’s why **the Citizen Wallet aims to be the Wordpress of Community Tokens (aka Community Currencies)**. An open source stack that you can easily customize for the needs of your community.

# Current use cases
💸 [Oak.community](https://Oak.community) is developing their own local crypto currency. They've been using so far the Rainbow wallet. Great wallet for people in crypto, not so great for citizens who just want to receive and spend the token of the Oakland community.

🍻 [DAO.brussels](https://DAO.brussels) has been running monthly events (Crypto Wednesday). They run a decentralized bar where everyone can mint beer tokens by bringing beers to the bar, and anyone can buy those tokens from the token holders to get their refreshment.

# Status
We have a web and native iOS and Android version in test phase using ERC4337 so that gas fees are paid by the token issuer, not the user (which is a UX nightmare when you onboard new users: you send them some of your tokens and they can't do anything with them since they don’t have any native tokens to pay for gas).

# Demo

# Why should you support this?
This is a missing piece of infrastructure to enable DAOs to onboard non crypto people to their community.

Like Wordpress, this has to be a public good. An open source project funded by the community for the community.

By supporting this project, we can make sure that the last mile to enable citizens to join web3 won't be in the hands of a small number of investors.

# Who is behind it?

Regen frens from [All for Climate DAO](https://twitter.com/all4climatedao) and [Regens Unite DAO](https://twitter.com/regensunite) that have been onboarding hundreds of people to the world of web3 and DAOs and experienced the pain first hand.
