How To Create a New Nexo Wallet In 2023 (Nexo Non-Custodial Wallet Now Live!)
I just an email from Nexo announcing that their latest product Nexo Wallet is now live. I joined their beta waitlist a few weeks ago, and now it seems things are up and running.
Here’s the email I got from Nexo:

It seems that to promote people from creating their wallets, Nexo is also covering GAS fees to create identities on multiple networks such as Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Fantom.

Remember that you can combine it with the Nexo Card and get $20 when you deposit your first $100. The Nexo Card works both in the US and Europe.
