One of the best known memes in crypto is: 'Not your keys, not your coins'. This usually resurfaces whenever a (custodial) centralised exchange is hacked or goes bust altogether. Although Web3 provides the infrastructure for self custody, this often shares the fate of Pandora. Self-custody requires increased security measures, from both end-users, as well as application developers. Web3 wallets are the interface between users and decentralised applications deployed on blockchains. While Metamask still maintains the largest market share, a multitude of wallets have emerged, promising additional features and a better UX.

We were joined by Evgeny Yurtaev, co-founder & CEO of Zerion, to discuss the challenges of building a Web3 wallet and how Zerion aims to improve user experience, while still maintaining security.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • Evgeny’s background
  • The motivation behind building a Web3 wallet
  • Zerion UX and security
  • Seed phrase storing
  • Zerion user profile
  • Challenges in building a new wallet app
  • Protecting users and potential attack vectors
  • Supported blockchains and (seamless) bridging
  • Account abstraction and MPC
  • Business models for Web3 wallets
