It is open source and is expected to include a decentralized exchange using atomic swaps. There are 3 different modes which provide 3 different levels of security.

Agama has several rare features including peer to peer trading through atomic swaps. There are 3 modes: Basilisk, Full, and Native. Basilisk is a slower lightweight mode with no blockchain download, Full mode is fast and has good performance but requires blockchain download, while Native mode is similar to Full, but with advanced features and restricted to just some coins.

What happens in the event of a disaster/theft/loss?

The user has a 'root key', 'recovery phrase' or 'word seed' that can be used to regenerate private keys.

The Agama wallet platform has multi-currency support and a built-in exchange. The design is modern and the interface is intuitive so it provides average usability. Since it is still in the development phase, users are advised to proceed with caution.
