Swiss startup Helvetic Broker is now live on the Apple App Store and Google Play, bringing an AI-powered, self-custody crypto platform to both iOS and Android users. Designed since 2023 by a team of Swiss engineers, the app aims to make blockchain safer, more accessible, and as intuitive as e-banking.

“The crypto space has long needed a solution that combines security, user autonomy, and simplicity,” the Helvetic Broker team said. “Our app empowers users to retain control of their private keys while enjoying real-time wallet management across multiple platforms.”

Security at the Core

Helvetic Broker emphasizes self-custody and security, addressing concerns that surfaced after high-profile crypto failures like the 2022 FTX collapse. Key features include:

• Private key encryption stored locally on users’ devices.
• Biometric authentication required for each transaction.
• Read-only server access to public keys for balance display.

This design ensures users retain ownership of their assets while maintaining a smooth, intuitive interface for managing wallets and transfers.

Multi-Wallet, Multi-Exchange Support

The app already supports popular wallets like Ledger, MetaMask, and Trust Wallet, along with centralized exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance) and decentralized platforms (Uniswap). Users can track, aggregate, and transfer assets across wallets and exchanges from a single customizable dashboard, choosing how balances are displayed—by wallet, by token, or converted into a preferred currency.

AI-Powered Features and Automation

Helvetic Broker sets itself apart with AI-driven portfolio management, including:

• Automated transaction processing between wallets and exchanges.
• AI assistant for portfolio insights, account creation, order placement, and transaction automation.
• Simplified portfolio diversification while retaining full control over private keys.

By combining self-custody with AI assistance, the app offers first-time crypto users and experienced traders alike a secure, automated, and user-friendly environment—all without compromising the principles of decentralization.

Implications for Crypto Adoption

Helvetic Broker enters the market at a time when trust, security, and usability are critical for wider blockchain adoption. Its approach of combining AI with secure, self-custody solutions may set a new standard for crypto applications that prioritize user control without sacrificing convenience.
