Taquito Cross Browser Extension

Empowering Tezos Ecosystem, one dev-tool at a time

Problem Statement ->

There are a lot of web extension based dapps available built on top of Ethereum, but there were none for Tezos. One of the reasons being that there were a lot of starter kits/boilerplates that let people compile solidity contracts right into cross browser web extensions which makes it difficult for new hackers/BUIDLers who may wanna dive into the Tezos ecosystem. So I wanted to bridge the gap for new BUIDLers who are passionate about the Tezos ecosystem like me so I created this cross browser extension that works on a variety of browsers.
