1. Introduction

The Dlicom Wallet Browser Extension is a non-custodial crypto wallet that allows users to securely store, send, receive, and manage digital assets across multiple EVM-compatible blockchains. It also supports hardware wallets, decentralized app (dapp) connections, and enhanced privacy controls.
