For the last week of the year, we at Klever are looking inwards and reviewing our progress in 2020, our plans for new platforms in 2021, and share the Klever recipe for unprecedented growth in 2020.
This is the last week of 2020 and Klever decided to do it differently this time around, and look back from the beginning of this strange yet powerful to highlight important points of our evolution over the past 12 months.
Universally speaking, it was a difficult year for the world. With the advance of the Covid-19 pandemic that caused a global health crisis, weakening of the global economy, a high unemployment rate and countless companies closing their doors or having to adapt to what we now call the "new normal."
But where there are crises, there are also opportunities and Klever has risen in the midst of financial chaos, as a new home for crypto assets for millions of global users through a non-custodial model.
"Simple" has been the word that sums up Klever's evolution from the very beginning. After all, crypto is difficult, but it shouldn't be. Millions of new crypto holders are entering the space on an increasingly rapid rate to reclaim their financial freedom. They need a simple yet powerful and constantly evolving platform to call their home. Klever is that home for 2 million users today. The simplicity we provide to all users, new and old, will enable tens of millions to join the Klever ecosystem in the years to come.
When we speak of evolution, we mean the transformation from a crypto wallet to a complete ecosystem, that always brings exciting new features, and today it’s so far from a mere crypto app for holding and sending coins.
So we hope you enjoy Klever's evolution in 2020, and we sure hope that you’ve prepared yourselves for what’s coming ahead in 2021, our most significant year yet.
Klever Updates
Throughout 2020, Klever was always bringing new updates and building the new features of the Klever App based on the requests, feedback and needs of our community of global users.
