We’re happy to announce that MyEtherWallet (MEW) has introduced support for CoolWallet S on its Ethereum platform. This partnership was made possible by both of the dev teams over at CoolBitX and MEW working tirelessly to bring CoolWallet S integration to the popular Ethereum platform. This integration brings new innovations to the CoolWallet S and will hopefully open the doors for many more in the future.
We’re also excited to announce that in celebration of this collaboration, a special edition MEW-branded CoolWallet S is now available for presale!
