## Description

Freighter is a secure, non-custodial wallet extension designed for the Stellar blockchain. It enables users to safely sign Stellar transactions directly through their browser without exposing or copying private keys. As a browser-based wallet, Freighter ensures that users retain full control of their keys and account backup phrases, which are securely stored only on their device.

Unlike custodial wallets, Freighter does not store any private keys or backup phrases on its servers, providing enhanced security and privacy. Users must manage their own keys responsibly, as losing the keys or backup phrase means permanent loss of access to the Stellar account. This extension is an excellent solution for individuals seeking a seamless and safe way to interact with Stellar-powered web applications while maintaining full control over their digital assets.
