Embedded wallets: Web2 experience, Web3 security

The road to Web3 is still paved with many roadblocks, starting with complex digital wallets. For some, they are confusing and frustrating — but they don’t need to be!


Web3 is changing the interaction with digital assets. The transition from Web2 can sometimes involve complex processes, so simplifying the onboarding should be the first step to ease that transition.

That’s where Apillon’s embedded wallets come in. This technology is making it easier than ever to access blockchain. So, let’s break it down and see what’s what.

What’s stopping mass adoption?

Web3 has excellent potential and promises great benefits, but it’s not always easy to use. If you’ve ever tried setting up a digital wallet, you know the process can feel overwhelming. The most common barriers:

  • Pre-dapp struggles: Choosing a wallet, setting it up, and managing private keys takes time, effort, and sometimes even money. It’s a learning curve, right? And all of this happens before you even start using a dapp or two.
  • Old habits die hard: We’re used to easy logins like Google or Facebook when exploring new apps. Sure, these methods come with privacy risks, centralized control, and data breaches, but they’re effortless, and people aren’t willing to give them up.
  • Web3 login complexities: While tools like MetaMask and WalletConnect are popular in Web3, they’re not for everyone. The complexity and unfamiliar terms can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t fully grasp the process.

All these factors make Web3 a tough sell for users who aren’t crypto- or tech-savvy. It’s time to simplify the experience.

Party in the front, business in the backstage

Embedded wallets, also known as Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) are a game-changer. These wallets can be built directly into your dapps or websites, eliminating the need for complex setup processes.

Instead of dealing with private keys and seed phrases, your users will log in using something as simple as your email and a code. The wallet handles all the complex stuff in the background, making Web3 access as easy as logging into your social media account.

Here’s why embedded wallets are the future:

  • No third-party custody: Without relying on outside service, users can control their own authentication methods by adding various passkeys or email login, etc., to access their wallets.
  • No more private key management: Embedded wallets handle users’ keys securely in the back, so they don’t have to worry about losing them.
  • Complexity abstraction simplifies the transaction process, allowing you to interact with dapps without understanding blockchain complexities.

Apillon’s embedded wallet service is powered by Oasis and its confidential smart contracts, which securely generate and store private keys that are fully encrypted and never exposed. Thus, the service offers the best of both worlds: a seamless user experience and top-notch security.

Apillon: Simplicity in connecting

We handle the blockchain complexity behind the scenes so users can focus on the experience while developers keep the business moving in the background. It’s all about delivering innovation upfront without exposing the technical grind.

By focusing on embedded wallet technology, we’re making Web3 more accessible without sacrificing security. Whether sending assets to a Web3 account or interacting with dapps, Apillon’s embedded wallets make the process easy, secure, and fast.
