Stripe acquired Privy. Here’s the announcement, with a reminder that infrastructure is never just plumbing. Privy made it dramatically easier to embed wallets into apps. Over 1,000 teams integrated it. Seventy-five million wallets spun up. Wallet onboarding stopped being painful. Now the whole thing lives inside Stripe. And that changes the equation.If Privy was your wallet layer—and Stripe now owns Privy—what exactly do you own?Embedding Isn’t OwnershipThe pitch for embedded wallets is solid...

Loopring has announced that it will shut down the Loopring Wallet by the end of June 2025. For users, this means migrating assets, updating interfaces, and—most critically—losing continuity. No exploit. No protocol failure. Just a business decision that turns a once-critical access point into a dead end. This isn’t a bug. It’s a feature of the current wallet infrastructure landscape. Loopring’s exit highlights a deeper risk baked into wallet architecture: one that affects users today, but sho...

TL;DR: A recent security incident at Coinbase—stemming from compromised third-party support agents—highlights the value of minimizing intermediaries in wallet infrastructure. This post explores how embedded wallets with user-owned, on-device custody offer a more secure foundation for mobile-first onchain apps.Lessons from the Coinbase IncidentIn a recent blog post, Coinbase revealed an extortion attempt involving cybercriminals who bribed overseas customer support agents. These agents were co...

Embedded wallets are something we have talked about in the past. We highly recommend checking out our previous blog posts here and here if you'd like to get an overview on what embedded wallets are and why they are important. This post will highlight real-world examples of mobile apps leveraging embedded wallets, the UX, and why they matter—for developers looking to integrate them and for users who benefit from their seamless experience.OrbOrb is a mobile-only Web3 social media app built for ...

At RallyProtocol, we believe blockchain’s core principles—openness, permissionlessness, and ownership—should extend to the tools developers use. Tools that don’t just support building dapps, but also empower developers to own the value and ecosystems they create. In this blog, we’ll break down the shortcomings of third-party developer tools and explore how a truly open and developer-first approach can onboard the next generation of mobile users onchain.The Hidden Costs of Third-Party Onchain ...

As an app developer, choosing the right custody solution for your users has never been more complex—or more important. The landscape of Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains and Layer 2s (L2s) has expanded dramatically, and with it, the range of wallet solutions.

When we first set out to build our SDK, we had a clear goal: to make blockchain development as accessible as possible for developers, particularly those without any prior web3 experience. By abstracting away all aspects of web3, including tokens, contracts, and transaction building, we aimed to lower the barrier to entry and empower developers to build seamlessly without needing to understand the intricacies of the blockchain ecosystem. However, after working closely with early partners like ...

Embedded wallets have simplified onchain onboarding by removing the need to connect external wallets or save complicated seed phrases. Who controls and owns the keys to the embedded wallet? This blog breaks down the different types of embedded wallets available today and explains how custody decisions impact both developers and their users.
