While browser extension wallets remain as the standard way to interface with onchain applications, the UX standard for what a great product experience entails has gotten much higher, prompting the development of account abstraction and wallet infrastructure tools to create traditional wallet alternatives.
Choosing the right wallet infrastructure is critical for crypto applications. Whether you’re launching a DeFi app, trading platform, or consumer-facing crypto wallet, your decision impacts security, UX, and scalability.
Managing wallets is one of the biggest challenges in onboarding new users into crypto and delivering a seamless experience for both beginners and seasoned traders. Developers often have to ask themselves the best way to manage the wallet infrastructure for their application. The obvious solution might be letting users bring their own wallet, either by directly connecting via an in-browser wallet or leveraging a tool like WalletConnect to establish a connection to a cold or mobile wallet.
