what's Web3Auth?
Web3Auth is a non-custodial authentication infrastructure designed for Web3 wallets and decentralized applications (dApps). It enables seamless user onboarding by allowing logins via familiar methods like social accounts (e.g., Google, Twitter), biometrics (FaceID/TouchID), or hardware wallets, while generating secure, self-custodial private keys through multi-party computation (MPC) and account abstraction (AA). This eliminates the need for seed phrases, reducing user friction and enhancing security by distributing key shares across nodes in a threshold cryptography setup. The platform provides plug-and-play SDKs for web, mobile (Android/iOS), and embedded wallets, supporting EVM-compatible chains and other blockchains. Developers can integrate features like on-ramps for fiat-to-crypto conversions, custom UI for wallets, and advanced key management. Web3Auth's Auth Network further decentralizes verifier nodes to ensure privacy and liveness, powering millions of users across ecosystems like gaming (e.g., MapleStory) and DeFi without compromising control over assets.
