What is VESPR?

VESPR is a wallet management application designed to give you full control over your Cardano private keys. It functions as a secure wallet for ADA and other native Cardano tokens, while also enabling seamless interaction with decentralized applications (dApps).

As a non-custodial wallet, VESPR does not collect any personal information—no email, passwords, Secret Recovery Phrase, or private keys. You maintain complete control and ownership of your Cardano assets.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make interacting with the Cardano blockchain simple, secure, and accessible for everyone. Whether you’re sending ADA, exploring dApps, or managing your digital assets, VESPR is here to provide a smooth and reliable experience across both mobile and desktop.

We’re committed to creating a wallet that’s easy to use while offering the tools you need to take full control of your crypto journey.
