ShimmySX is an extension for accessing Shimmer enabled distributed applications, or 'Dapps' in your normal Chrome browser!
ShimmySX Extension
In the current version NFTs with an IRC27 standard can be viewed by a given Shimmer address.
Shimmer is a scalable and feeless network enabling frictionless decentralized and scalable Web3 economies.
The extension is using the official client library from IOTA (https://github.com/iotaledger) to connect directly to the network, so that dapps can read from the tangle.
In future ShimmySx also lets the user create and manage their own identities or wallets, so when a Dapp wants to perform a transaction and write to the tangle, the user gets a secure interface to review the transaction, before approving or rejecting it.
