Hey PH! Clay here - I’m the PM for crypto and web3 at Plaid. Before this, I led our Plaid Link team focusing on conversion and the developer experience of traditional financial account connectivity. Now, I’m excited to use our experience building web2 account linking in web3. If you're a crypto developer, you know how hard it is to manage and integrate with multiple wallets - it turns out this is very similar to the problem Plaid wanted to solve for fintech developers back in 2013! Today, we're excited to launch Wallet Onboard, a developer-first wallet onboarding experience for crypto and web3. We’ve taken all of the learnings from building Plaid and bringing it to a new frontier. Instead of manually integrating many wallets at a time, Wallet Onboard helps developers manage one simple SDK integration and unlock connectivity to hundreds of self-custody wallets like MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet and Ledger. Some key highlights: ⛓️ One simple integration to unlock 300+ crypto wallets 📱 A beautiful and familiar UI to used by millions of consumers today 📈 Automatic wallet updates and optimizations 🔐 Built with a privacy-first principle in mind - Plaid doesn’t collect your addresses 👀 Soon: More features and integrations with Plaid products to continue bridging web2 and web3 This is our first web3 product and I’d love your feedback and comments below or you can DM me @clayallsopp on Twitter (or @clayallsopp on Farcaster!). Sign up and give this a try: https://plaid.com/wallet-onboard/

@clayallsopp is that overlapping with walletconnect ? what chains are supported?

@clayallsopp well done. This goes into the category of 'good' things for the broader crypto ecosystem so I'm glad to see you guys getting involved. BTW your team will likely need Luabase.com. Check it out.

@clayallsopp @ourielohayon My first thought as well but appears that WalletConnect is powering it in the background. https://twitter.com/WalletConnec...

@clayallsopp @matt_brickley very cool so you either use WalletConnect or Plaid which is on an overlay of WalletConnect. for a developer though you would have to choose one

@matt_brickley @ourielohayon WalletConnect is one of the protocols we support, but not all wallets support it (like Coinbase Wallet). Even among WalletConnect wallets there end up being differences in behavior from an API and UX standpoint that we optimize for - for example, Trust has their QR code scanner located in the app settings, so we add specific instructions to help guide those users.

It looks amazing! Excited to try it out on my next project. Wondering what kind of actions does it support now once a wallet is connected?

@jcbages Thanks! You can get the address(es) of the wallet, which you can use with other infrastructure or Ethereum Node providers to get more data about the wallet, and request various signatures from the user (such as for transactions interaction with smart contracts)

@rrhoover Yup our first for crypto-native developers :) We expanded support for crypto exchanges in our existing products earlier this summer: https://plaid.com/blog/digital-a...

Love it. This will be so useful for us. We just launched Cookbook today as well and only support a few wallets. Wallet connect just doesn't work that well. looking forward to trying Plaid Wallet Onboard.

It's a good idea for people like me as I have several wallet to find every thing at the same place :)

Will Plaid give me a login box that arguably is a phishing prompt under any other circumstances and save my private keys in your database like you store my bank login and password? Can't wait!
