Jaxx Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet adds support for The DAO tokens

Decentral has announced that it has added support for The DAO tokens on Jaxx – its multi-platform Bitcoin and Ethereum wallet.

“[W]e’re pleased to announce that the next stage of our Jaxx DAO integration has gone live: our DAO wallet. The Android, Chrome, Desktop, and Firefox versions of Jaxx have already been updated, and the iOS version should go live within the next 24-36 hours, pending Apple’s standard review process”, the announcement reads.

The DAO’s crowdfunding drive that ended on May 28 has broken all records, raising over $130 million in Ethereum cryptocurrency tokens. The DAO leverages smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain to enable anyone, anywhere in the world to create their own autonomous organization. It aims to back proposals which it selects for their innovative nature.

The DAO has captured the imagination of the Ethereum community and beyond, and has been widely discussed in the mainstream media. For all of the chatter, there are still very few options for DAO tokenholders to actually manage their tokens”, Decentral said.

The Canadian company further explained that Jaxx 1.0.1 now has a DAO wallet screen, which displays the current DAO token balance associated with users’ Jaxx Ethereum addresses. It will also allow users to transfer in more DAO tokens, send them to external services, or shift/pool them between Jaxx addresses as desired. It does not have a DAO Transaction History yet, but it will be available soon.

To view DAO token balance, users should have a pre-existing ETH transfer. Also, users will not be able to transfer from any DAO account that does not have an ETH balance as the transfer will require ETH.

Decentral further revealed its current and impending projects saying:

“[W]e’re also working on a Proposals and Voting display that will let you browse and vote on Proposals directly within Jaxx. This is a major priority for us and we hope to have it ready before the first major Proposals’ voting periods have concluded.

“Last week, we unveiled RocketDAO, our web portal for browsing, creating, submitting, and voting on Proposals. RocketDAO will be powered by Jaxx and will act as your complete DAO command centre, from which you can take advantage of all The DAO has to offer.”


Last month, Jaxx 1.0 officially moved out of beta for all device versions, making its way to iOS, Android, PC/Mac/Linux desktops, and as a Chrome/Firefox browser extension.
