About My Ether Wallet
My Ether Wallet, in short MEW, is one of the most popular Ethereum wallets. It is an open-source and easy-to-use platform with Ether and ERC-20 token support. MEW was launched in 2015 by Kosala Hemachandra and Taylor Monahan to enable the users to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It advertises itself as the “Hardware wallet without all the hardware” due to its unique features.
MEW claims to be the most secure, intuitive and the prettiest way to manage ETH and ERC-20 tokens. It filled the void when there were not many Ethereum token wallets and emerged as the go-to place for storing Ether and ERC-20 token in its early days. MEW is completely free to use but only transaction fees are charged that go to the miners.
