Hi fellow ICONists,
Atka (@william_atka) reached out to us to so we could help in delivering their proposal to the community.

- Title
ICON web wallet by Atka
- Project Category
Developer support and product ideas - wallets, block explorers, DApps, developer documentation, etc.
- Project Description
The ICON web wallet is the easiest way to buy ICX tokens with a credit card, connect to the ICON blockchain, create your ICON wallet, manage your ICX holdings, and participate in the ICON governance through a secure, open-source and non-custodial web application.
The ICON web wallet enables you to purchase via credit card and access your ICX tokens, transfer and stake them through a simple web interface. The non-custodial web wallet application is an important component for the ICON blockchain to expand its community and make it more mainstream, while not compromising security. The software will be open-source; anyone could access the code and improve it if needed on Github.
What makes it different from ICONex is the credit card purchase function, powered by a regulated financial service provider, and that you do not need to download a Chrome application to interact with your ICX tokens. It can be seen as an alternative to MyIconWallet. However, unlike MyIconWallet, you can directly purchase ICX tokens from this interface, and we would provide the option for users to select the node they need to rely on to process transactions. Finally, we are planning to offer more educational materials and curated data about the voting proposals and staking options, which are not possible at the moment with MyIconWallet.
If you do not own an ICON wallet, you can purchase a limited amount of tokens via credit card on the web interface, through a regulated payment service provider.
With the ICON web interface, you could access your ICX from your Keystore file, your ICON Chrome application or your Ledger wallet, and rely on different nodes, only by choosing one in the interface between curated nodes. It would also be possible to add a custom node.
Once you access your ICX, you could either transfer them to a different address and optimize your transaction fees, or participate in the ICON governance by delegating your ICX to a list of curated P-Reps. It would also be possible to delegate to a custom P-Rep.
After the transaction or delegation event has occurred, the user could check the transaction identifier of this event in the ICON blockchain through the ICON web interface.

- User Stories
US1 - As a user, I want to access to the ICON Web Wallet interface, because I want to quickly access my ICX funds stored on my Ledger.
US2 - As a user, I want to purchase ICX with my credit card through the web interface, because I want a seamless way to acquire ICX.
US3 - As a user, I want to download the front-end of the web app on my desktop (open-source) or use a specific desktop app, because I want to prepare and broadcast ICX transactions in a secure way.
US4 - As a user, I need a simple user interface to send, receive and delegate my ICX, because I do not like the Ledger Liver interfaces.
US5 - As a user, I want to access the web app anytime anywhere, just by plugging my Ledger wallet, because I don’t like to have to download either a wallet or a web extension.
US6 - As a user, I want a quickly accessible and easily readable, curated list of P-Reps, on which I know I can count, because I don’t have the time and skills to evaluate the pertinence of all of them.
- Monthly Budget Request
10 230 USD
Total estimated costs: 45 900 USD
Costs covered by Atka: 15 200 USD (33%)
