Samurai

Samurai is an open source browser plug-in wallet tool that supports the Alaya and PlatON networks, supporting wallet creation, sending and receiving ATP and LAT, and allowing web DApps to interact with the Alaya and PlatON networks.

Samurai only generates wallet keys on your device, so only you can access your wallet account and data. You therefore need to keep your wallet key (private key, mnemonic) and wallet password safe. Samurai currently only supports Chrome.
