Universal Embedded Wallets 101: what are they and why are they so great?
No more juggling multiple wallets—Universal Embedded Wallets streamline web3 by integrating directly into dapps, offering the seamless experience users deserve.

Imagine a world where managing your digital assets is as easy as sending a text, where the complexities of blockchain are tucked away behind a user-friendly interface, and where your wallet is embedded within your favorite apps, always ready when you need it.

Welcome to the era of Universal Embedded Wallets—a transformative leap for the web3 space. Universal Embedded Wallets further this concept by offering a more unified and seamless experience. This isn’t just the future of blockchain interaction; it’s the feature you didn’t know you were waiting for.

What are Universal Embedded Wallets?

Universal Embedded Wallets are built directly into decentralized applications (dApps) through WalletConnect's AppKit with Social and Email Login features. Unlike traditional wallets that force users to juggle multiple apps or install extra software, these embedded wallets enhance the overall user experience by consolidating everything within a single interface. This streamlined approach simplifies blockchain interactions, making them more intuitive, especially for newcomers.

The advantages of Universal Embedded Wallets

Universal Embedded Wallets, available through WalletConnect’s AppKit, revolutionize the user experience by enabling seamless management of digital assets directly within the app. This eliminates the need to switch between different platforms, making them an ideal choice over traditional wallets.

For app builders, user onboarding and funding wallets are top priorities. Universal Embedded Wallets excel in this area by optimizing the entire process with customizable features provided by AppKit. With key UX elements like supporting easy transactions via Swaps, every aspect is designed to streamline the user journey. Users can enjoy a Universal Embedded Wallet with a single, portable address across dApps, while smart account capabilities ensure compatibility with leading blockchain platforms. Additionally, embedded wallets support direct onramping, currency swaps, and effortless token transfers. Users can easily switch to a self-custodial wallet whenever they choose, giving them full control over their assets.

For developers, these multi-app embedded wallets offer a seamless integration process. Building a dApp can be complicated, especially when it comes to ensuring compatibility with various wallets and standards. With AppKit, developers don’t need to worry about wallet connections, upgrades, or differing standards—embedded wallets manage these aspects effortlessly, allowing them to focus on developing their app.

How WalletConnect AppKit's Universal Embedded Wallets Power Better Web3 UX

WalletConnect's AppKit is the engine driving the multi-app embedded wallet revolution, simplifying the integration of digital wallets across hundreds of wallets and thousands of apps. AppKit unlocks the full potential of these wallets, delivering powerful functionalities that are easily accessible to both developers and users:

  • Universal Multi-app Utility: AppKit allows app developers to create embedded wallets that offer users a consistent and portable address across multiple dApps. This not only simplifies UX but also fosters greater interaction across different platforms.
  • Free Smart Accounts: With AppKit’s smart accounts, users can tap into advanced blockchain functionalities like enhanced security, scalability, and interoperability. These accounts also offer advanced features such as paying gas with different tokens, allowing dApps to sponsor transactions (ERC-20 Paymasters, Verifying Paymasters), and supporting emerging modules like Account Recovery, Smart Sessions, Passkey signing, and more. Smart Accounts ensure compatibility with leading platforms like Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism, keeping users at the forefront of blockchain technology.
  • WCN.ID Integration: By integrating WCN.ID with ENS through AppKit, users can associate their wallet address with a simple, recognizable name. This enhances the user experience by making transactions more intuitive and secure.
  • Onramp and Swap Features: AppKit empowers embedded wallets with onramp and swap capabilities directly within the dApp, allowing users to convert fiat to crypto and swap assets without leaving the application. This creates a more streamlined and efficient process for managing digital assets.
  • Self-Custody Transition: AppKit supports the transition from an embedded wallet to a self-custodial wallet, giving users the flexibility to take full control of their assets whenever they want.
