Exploring the tools and user flow that we implement on the Cadastre to support new web3 crypto users and power users alike to claiming Geo Web land.
Notes from 12/16 with @codynhat & @graven
- The current wallet integrations are good enough for crypto natives/power users, but don’t go the extra mile to make the Geo Web accessible to first-time crypto users.
- Especially in support of a “fair launch,” we want to remove as many technical barriers to claiming Geo Web land as possible.
- Wallet Connect and other wallets like Torus have pushed the cryto wallet sign-up and management UX forward, but a user has to know those exist to take advantage of them
- We can do more on the Cadastre to guide new users into these user flows.
- In the case of Torus, they offer whitelabeling, so a user doesn’t even need to technically “know it exists” if we integrate it into the Cadastre (web2-like signup flow with the advantages of web3)
- High-Level Goals/Features
- First-time wallet creation
- Web2 login options
- Non-custodial wallet
- Easy to use, but proper key management
- Not a Geo Web/app specific address
- Begin to educate user about wallets & ability to use a new wallet across apps
- Fiat on-ramp to L2 non-custodial wallet
- US vs Other Countries
- Maintain the list of wallet options for power users
- First-time wallet creation
- The gating item for this work is having a fiat on-ramp option to our L2 of choice for US users. Without the fiat on-ramp this effort won’t have the impact needed to be prioritized.
