We’re excited to introduce the addition of our newest WaaS offering that enables exchanges, fintechs, web3 companies and traditional brands to embed non-custodial end-user wallets directly into their applications.
Fordefi’s WaaS solution allows our customers to leverage the technology and security of our industry leading institutional wallet to instantly deliver best-in-class wallets to their end users. Moreover, Fordefi’s core focus on DeFi and Web3 makes our WaaS solution the most secure and intuitive for users to interact with Web3 applications. In contrast to custodial wallets, Fordefi's WaaS solution offers end users complete transparency and control over their assets. This not only fosters user trust but also helps companies mitigate various security risks and comply with regulations.
"Our mission at Fordefi has always been to facilitate secure management of digital assets,” said JoshSchwartz, CEO and Cofounder of Fordefi. “We’re proud to continue building on this mission and provide both Web3 and Web2 businesses with a crucial tool to enable safe crypto adoption for all participants. We are committed to strengthening the Web3 ecosystem and ensuring its accessibility while maintaining a strong focus on security and transparency."
Web3 Adoption Challenges for Consumer Platforms
After conducting numerous customer interviews and engaging in in-depth conversations, we’ve identified several key obstacles that continue to hinder the mass adoption of digital assets in the market. These obstacles, as emphasized by our customers, are as follows:
- Brand Recognition
Many users still exhibit a preference for trusted brands that offer bespoke wallet capabilities, instead of opting for third-party wallets.
- Key Generation and Recovery
The use of seed phrases and hardware solutions for key generation and recovery often leads to confusion and mistrust among users.
- Multichain Support
The wallet space is highly fragmented across different types of chains, thereby requiring users to employ multiple solutions for storing their assets.
- Security Issues
The presence of bad actors in the digital asset space seeking to exploit users through phishing or key theft continues to pose significant challenges in terms of complexity and security.
Traditionally, exchanges required their users to entrust them with their funds, however, recent incidents like the FTX collapse have reinforced the saying "Not your keys, not your Bitcoin." This raises concerns for users about their actual control over assets and the regulations governing such service providers. Additionally, many centralized providers such as exchanges, brokers, and custodians, often limit users, preventing exploration of decentralized products and services.
Fordefi’s Mission to Fuel Secure Digital Asset Adoption
At Fordefi, we've collaborated closely with leading exchanges, gaming providers, and tokenizing platforms to address the above challenges. Introducing our latest product suite, Fordefi WaaS is a best-in-class SDK incorporating enterprise-grade security and advanced cryptography. This cutting-edge technology allows companies of any size to seamlessly embed wallets in their applications, ensuring users have full control over their digital assets. Our solution is designed for scalability, offering secure storage for digital assets, NFTs, and more.
We believe a wallet solution should be holistic, providing not just a building block but an entire suite of features to enhance user experience.
