Vendano

Usability-first Cardano wallet for everyday payments: iOS live, Android coming, scan/tap-to-pay for merchants, and gift cards to bring ADA to real life.

Cardano for Regular People

Vendano is a usability-first Cardano wallet built around a simple idea: money should feel effortless. If sending value feels like paperwork, adoption stalls. Vendano focuses on making ADA payments feel natural, whether you’re sending to a friend, paying a merchant, or setting up a simple “store mode” to accept payments in person.

Vendano’s goal: everyday payments for everyday people — not “crypto for crypto people.”

Why Vendano Exists

Crypto succeeds when it disappears into the background. Most wallets optimize for experienced users: features first, UX second. Vendano flips that priority.

  • Step-by-step flows that reduce decision fatigue
  • Friendly language instead of jargon
  • Practical payment features designed for real-world use

This is especially important for newcomers who want to try Cardano without feeling like they need a PhD in wallet safety on day one.

What You Can Do Today (iOS Live)

Vendano is live on iOS and built to help people actually use ADA, not just store it.

Core Wallet Experience

  • Create or import a Cardano wallet
  • Send and receive ADA with a clean, guided flow
  • Designed as a self-custody experience (you control your recovery phrase)
  • Built to feel approachable for first-time users

Store Mode: Accept ADA in Person

Vendano includes a merchant-friendly flow so a seller can request payment and a customer can pay quickly.

  • Generate a payment request / QR-style flow for in-person checkout
  • Reduce awkward “copy/paste a long address” moments
  • Make it easier to accept ADA at events, pop-ups, and small businesses

What’s Coming Next

Android App (in progress)

Android support is the next major milestone so Vendano can reach far more people globally and support mixed-device friend groups and merchant/customer setups.

  • Android build underway
  • Feature parity with iOS core flows
  • Optimized for quick payments + store mode

Tap-to-Pay with a Peripheral (scan-to-pay → tap-to-pay)

Scan-to-pay is a great start, but tap-to-pay is the “it just works” moment.

Vendano is designing tap-to-pay via a dedicated NFC peripheral (a simple point-of-sale puck or companion device). The goal is to make accepting ADA feel like a modern checkout interaction: fast, consistent, and friendly.

  • Faster than camera-based scanning in many real-world situations
  • Better ergonomics for merchants (especially at busy booths)
  • A path toward “Cardano payments that don’t feel like crypto”

Gift Cards (real-world onramps that people understand)

Gift cards are familiar. They’re a bridge between “crypto curiosity” and real utility. Vendano is building toward gift card experiences that can help people onboard in a way that feels normal—like buying value in a format they already trust.

  • A mainstream mental model for value transfer
  • Great for gifting, rewards, and real-world distribution
  • A stepping stone to everyday ADA usage

Vendano grows through real feedback from real humans.

  • Try the iOS app and share what’s confusing, slow, or unclear
  • If you’re a merchant, test store mode in a real scenario (even a pretend checkout with a friend helps)
