“Sign up with email” is Coming to a Solana Wallet Near You!
TL;DR
The Phantom wallet is planning to bring a “sign up w email” experience to the Solana ecosystem, with its acquisition of the Bitski embed wallet.
Full Story
Are you afraid to help your dad set up a crypto wallet, in fears the needless complexity will have him stomp his phone and write you out of the will?
(Same!)
Well, we have good news!
Phantom, the Solana-based/Ethereum friendly hot wallet just bought Bitski.
(Ok, that didn’t really get the point across).
Bitski is an ‘embed’ wallet — which means the wallet set up process looks like this:
Enter your email.
Choose a password.
That’s it, there’re only two steps.
And with this Bitski acquisition, Phantom plans to bring that experience to the Solana ecosystem.
Which is a breath of fresh mountain air — and a clear solution to the common “this is too hard, I can’t be bothered” argument made (rightly so) by our friends and family.
But beyond that — vaulting this user experience hurdle sets a standard for others to adopt, which in turn: sets the stage for mass adoption.
We love to see it!
