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.
Orb is a mobile-only Web3 social media app built for artists, creators, degens, and everyday users, powered by Lens Chain. (Hey, we power their embedded wallets!) Orb is a great example of how social media can take advantage of embedded wallets since many interactions—such as posting, collecting content, minting, and following users—would otherwise require separate approvals outside of the app.
Pros:
By creating an account on Orb, users automatically get an embedded wallet.
Optionally, users can also sign in with their existing wallet - functions across multiple devices
An experience similar to existing Social Media interactions - user familiarity.
Fully ignores the old hassle of approving-something-every-step found in many early Web3 apps.
Cons:
Exporting and importing keys between devices can be a hassle.
Wombat is a platform that enables users to play games, earn rewards, trade digital assets, and connect with the Web3 gaming community. By using an embedded wallet, Wombat ensures that players can collect rewards, make transactions, and interact with blockchain-based games without unnecessary friction.
Pros:
Frictionless Gaming: Players don’t have to deal with external wallets when earning or trading in-game assets.
Multi-Chain Support: Wombat provides access to multiple blockchains, giving users more flexibility.
Easy Onboarding: The app abstracts away most wallet complexities, allowing non-crypto-native users to engage quickly.
Private Key Exporting: Users can export their multi-chain private key.
Cons:
Limited Recovery Options: Restricted to the device’s connected cloud accounts such as a user’s Google Drive.
Limited Token Support: Only a handful of tokens are natively supported.
Immutable’s Embedded Passport, powered by Sequence wallet infrastructure, is a Web3 onboarding solution designed for gaming applications. Sequence provides the embedded wallet infrastructure for Immutable’s Embedded Passport, enabling seamless onboarding within their ecosystem.
With Embedded Passport, games can provision embedded wallets tied to their account system—including guest logins—so users can start playing right away. When players want to engage in deeper Web3 interactions, such as withdrawing funds, accessing NFT marketplaces, or sharing assets across multiple games, they can seamlessly upgrade to a full Immutable Passport wallet. While Immutable Passport itself is non-custodial, players may not have full access to private keys within the embedded version until they upgrade.
Pros:
Seamless Player Onboarding: Gamers can enter a Web3 experience without managing a wallet manually.
Game-Specific Wallets: Ensures smooth integration with each game’s unique ecosystem.
Upgrade Path: Players can transition to a full Immutable Passport for broader Web3 interactions when ready.
Non-Custodial Security: Users retain control over their assets while benefiting from a streamlined login experience.
Cons:
Developer Integration Required: Requires developers to build Passport integration into their games, adding an extra step compared to generic wallet solutions.
Wallet “Upgrade” Dependent: Players may not have full access to private keys within the embedded version until they migrate to the standard Immutable Passport.
Embedded wallets are transforming how users interact with blockchain applications, reducing complexity while keeping core Web3 principles intact. Whether through social apps like Orb, gaming platforms like Wombat and Immutable, or other enterprise solutions, these integrations enhance accessibility and usability across the board.
For developers, embedded wallets remove onboarding friction and create a more intuitive user experience. For users, they enable seamless interactions without the technical overhead of managing private keys. As Web3 adoption grows, expect more apps to integrate these wallet solutions to improve engagement and usability.
