Mobile wallets provide a convenient way to trade cryptocurrencies, no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Having access to the markets through your mobile device means you can capitalize on opportunities while you’re on the move.
There are many mobile wallets that enable you to trade crypto whenever and wherever you want. But with so many different options, you may now know where to start. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the top 6 mobile wallets for trading on Perp.
Read on to discover which are the best apps to use for trading without having to sit in front of your laptop!
1. MetaMask
MetaMask is one of the most popular and recognisable wallets. But compared to some of the other options in our list, MetaMask is quite basic in functionality.
While you can set a custom RPC, the downsides are that it has no in-app browser (so you have to use your mobile’s browser app instead) and there are no unique security or utility features.
2. Coinbase Wallet
Coinbase Wallet is a slick mobile application where you can HODL crypto and NFTs, as well as access DeFi applications like Perp. You can use the wallet’s built-in browser to trade on Perp and there’s also a bookmark feature so you can pin your favorite DApps.
Also, if you already have a Coinbase account, then you can link it with the wallet to easily purchase crypto. Another feature of interest is the ability to set a passcode for opening the app and making transactions. Although Coinbase Wallet is non-custodial, the downside is that it is not open source like some of the other options in this list.
To trade on Perp, open the wallet, go to Browser, and type ‘app.perp.com’. Use the menu of the top right-hand corner to add a bookmark to the page so you can easily access the DApp in future.
3. TokenPocket
TokenPocket is an open source mobile wallet powered by the WalletConnect protocol. Similar to Coinbase Wallet, TokenPocket also offers an in-app browser that you can use to interact with a variety of DeFi protocols.

-
The ability to set a custom RPC.
-
A gesture password for additional security.

The steps to start trading on Perp are similar to those for Coinbase Wallet. Open the wallet, go to ‘Discover’ and enter ‘app.perp.com’ in the search bar at the top.

You can also make purchases within the app via MoonPay, swap tokens on Ethereum mainnet and create watchlists to monitor your favorite assets.
Some other interesting aspects of this mobile wallet are:
-
The Dapp privacy mode, which when enabled, activates a one-time allowance step for DApps to read information from your wallet for the first time.
-
Support for zkSync Era.
-
A variety of security features: you can secure your funds using tools such as touch ID, a gesture password and integration with the imKey hardware wallet.
