Qortal Extension

The Qortal extension securely links your local Qortal wallet with your browser, facilitating communication with both Qortal dApps and Web 2.0 applications that utilize features of the Qortal blockchain, like the QORT coin.

The extension acts as a gateway for reviewing transactions initiated from a DApp website. It intercepts all transfer requests, presenting a confirmation window before any transaction is executed on the blockchain, allowing users the choice to either approve or decline the transaction.
