By Status, the open-source decentralized wallet and messaging platform, has unveiled a new update to its tech stack, rolling out key integrations to enhance its mobile and desktop applications.
In an announcement, Status said its version 2.33 of its app has introduced integration with Base, the layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum.
The expansion of the decentralised messaging platform’s solution to Base brings seamless interactions including low fee transfers, token bridge and swaps.
It’s here! 🥳 Status v2.33 brings integration with @Base, a new on-ramp provider with @Mercuryo_io, and new features for Keycard – giving you more access and control over your crypto. Check out the full updates: status.app/blog/base-supp…
Status now supports decentralised applications on Base, adding to previous integrations with Ethereum, Optimism, and Arbitrum.
“The Base network is seamlessly integrated with the Status Mobile and Desktop wallets, expanding the functionality of the Status wallet and unlocking new opportunities for users to transact and interact with dApps through Status,” the platform wrote in a blog post.
As detailed, users can leverage ParaSwap, a top decentralised finance aggregator to swap native tokens on the L2 and across supported chains.
This functionality is accessible directly within the user’s Status app.
Status integrates Mercuryo
v2.33 gives Status users greater flexibility when it comes to managing their crypto assets.
However, the upgrade goes beyond enhanced usability. It’s about increased adoption via support for fiat on-ramp provider Mercuryo.
Available for both mobile and desktop, Mercuryo will allow users to buy crypto directly from the Status app.
Mercuryo brings various payment options to Status users, including debit or credit card, Apple or Google Pay.
The partnership will also allow users to buy crypto with bank transfer.
Status’ v2.33 update also enhances support for Keycard, a contactless hardware wallet, offering improved security and usability for managing funds.
The upgraded Keycard feature includes the ability for users to factory reset their Keycard on mobile.
It also means one can now import their seed phrase into a new Keycard.
SNT price performance
The release of Status v2.33 coincided with a notable surge in the price of Status (SNT).
Per details on CoinMarketCap, SNT soared from lows of $0.027 to breach resistance at $0.030.
Bulls retested new multi month highs above $0.031, with Status price exploding more than 14%.
Gains came as altcoins inched higher following the FOMC meeting this week, and for SNT, after the update announcement on expanded functionality and the integration with Base.
However, the upward momentum looks to have fizzled out.
As of writing on March 21, 2025, the altcoin’s price has declined nearly 8% in 24 hours. Profit taking has seen bears erase the previous day’s gains.
Why did Status price fall today?
A likely catalyst for this is the news that Binance has added Status to a batch of tokens under consideration for delisting.
On March 21, Binance released its “vote to delist” batch of tokens, which included Status.
Other cryptocurrencies in the pool are JasmyCoin, Zcash and FTX Token, all of which have traded lower in the past 24 hours.
