CardWallet was launched in May 2021 by Tiago Serôdio and Victoria Vaughan. Tiago Serôdio, the CEO of CardWallet, is an industry veteran with experience in blockchain projects like Cardano, Occam.fi, and HUMAN Protocol. Victoria Vaughan, the COO of CardWallet, is the former CEO of Cointelegraph and has been involved in crypto since 2013.

CardWallet is unique as a community-driven product that acts as the foundational tool for managing assets and interacting with applications in the Cardano ecosystem. It offers centralized and decentralized execution venues, streamlined exchange processes, ADA token placement and delegation, cross-chain asset exchange, and a DAO governance structure. Users stake CW, vote, and benefit from community participation through CardWallet's utility token - CW. The wallet also supports NFT storage and trading capabilities.

The developers have built a clear and accessible interface with user-friendly design, easy access via PIN code and biometric authentication, and fast FIAT transactions in cryptocurrency. CardWallet rewards community members for participating in debates, staking tokens, inviting other users, voting, suggesting improvements, and contributing to the development of the ecosystem. The creators use a buy-back system to create a shortage of the CW token and increase its value.

The team created an engagement metric to facilitate the direction of their community-centric tokenomics. The tokenomics are divided into 4 stages, with incentives related to the interaction with CardWallet. This system transfers power to the token holders and larger community, making the product completely decentralized and centered on the community.
