Grab has integrated a centralised Web3.0 wallet that is similar to Binance. This wallet does not use private keys, but instead uses a PIN password and questions and answers for account recovery.
Currently, only Polygon blockchain is supported, and only 2 types of digital assets can be stored; SG Pitstop vouchers and digital collectibles from SG Pitstop Pack.
Grab is said to be studying the expansion of the supported assets and blockchains, but for now, users should not send other digital assets to the wallet as they will not be accessible.
However, users can send digital assets from the Grab Web3.0 wallet to other wallets. Grab currently has 180 million users.
