\"\"Trinity is the long-awaited user-friendly IOTA wallet<\/a> that has been in development for the last few months. The development team was aided by members of the community, who raised the mobile wallet to new heights, and who began working on the desktop implementation.<\/p>\n

The team has released the mobile wallet to testers yesterday, 6 days ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Trinity developer team has opened a limited entry program<\/a> for 100 new desktop alpha testers. This application process will close after the first 200 applications, and the most suitable 100 testers will be contacted to join the program. One of the unverified alpha testers has posted positive feedback about the desktop wallet on Reddit.<\/p>\n

Trinity Wallet<\/h2>\n

It is one of the latest innovations in wallet applications, released by a developer named Charlie Varley. The wallet was earlier known as UCL wallet (UCL stands for University College London where Varley studied). Later it was branded as the Trinity wallet. The wallet was initially developed as an alternative to the existing IOTA wallets \u2013 IOTA\u2019s own official desktop wallet and a third party android wallet -available in the crypto market.<\/p>\n

Varley\u2019s project started as a one man project. Later, spotting the potential of the cross-platform application for mobile devices acting as an alternative to IOTA wallet, many of the IOTA community\u2019s developers joined hands with Varley to take the project forward. That resulted in the addition of several new features to the Trinity wallet, while speeding up the wallet development process. Following this, IOTA Foundation, the Germany-based organization that is behind the IOTA project took interest in the project and included the innovative wallet technology in their ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, IOTA Foundation also hired Varley and his team. By January, the Trinity project came under IOTA Foundation. An official alpha test on iOS and Android, involving nearly 250 users began in the same month. At that time it was guaranteed that Trinity will remain open-source, similar to official desktop wallet.<\/p>\n
