slightly longwinded answer about why @praxwallet doesn't include a minimal frontend of its own and instead has the user interface in the less trusted web content:
Prax now suggests community-run RPCs and frontends for the proposed Penumbra mainnet, so users no longer need to manually obtain and input RPC URLs โ though they can of course choose whatever RPC they want.
Thanks to all the community members that made this possible!
Personal. Private. Practical.
Penumbra Labs is excited to announce Prax Wallet: a local-first, non-custodial browser wallet for @penumbrazone and that runs entirely in your browser and puts you in control of your data.
Solving this problem has been a huge lift that wouldn't have been possible without our own wallet. But now that our client stack exists, we're excited to help other Cosmos wallets integrate it and add support for Penumbra.

Every Penumbra wallet embeds an ultralight node that scans, syncs, decrypts, and locally indexes your own account state โ a personal, private indexer, so frontends can query your data locally.
