welcome back to the bull market. while you were away, the world of wallets has shifted. hopefully you didn’t forget the seed phrase to that one wallet holding your XRP bags. we’ve seen phantom pass whatsapp in its app store rankings, embedded wallet services fight over every consumer crypto project, and many wallet projects die. last cycle, wallets were the gateway to owning crypto. our confused friends would encounter the first of many hurdles as random tutorials explained how to install metamask in the browser and warned you to NEVER share your seed phrase with anyone, even your mom.
the state of wallets
now every user in every app has a wallet address for every account. you can download phantom on your phone, onramp with moonpay, and be in the trenches top blasting $MOODENG in 15 mins or less. but wallets must be built for more than just onboarding the next million people. the more we’ve used crypto the more we wonder why wallets are so limited.
should wallets be attached to every single user account or should we just have one that connects to everything? should they reward users with perks and points like an amex or show you what your friends are doing onchain so you can copy trade? how can we keep track of all our memecoins across every chain? maybe some sort of spreadsheet? how many wallets does one need actually need and of which type? the crypto market map by electric capital shows 80 wallet projects across 5 subcategories.
why build another wallet
the place you keep your coins has the potential to be much more personal and powerful than any single project’s thesis. we believe your wallet should help you become the most powerful version of yourself with every onchain move you make and every new feature we ship. if crypto has turned into a massive pvp game, then we’re working on the terminal that will help you get good.
the next era of crypto will revolve around super-apps — a trusted space, a control room, the best place to lock in.
