Okay, thank you for reverting back. Let me answer those two questions, and if you have any other questions, you can drop below.
Automatic Approval of Transactions:
Web3Auth doesn’t approves any transactions on user behalf. Web3Auth provides key management solution. When a user logins in using Web3Auth, the private key can be accessed on the frontend which can be used to sign and send transactions. As a developer or agency, they can always develop the screens to ask for approval of transactions from user and then sign the transactions. Consider like you are developing a console application to do sum of 2+2 which gives you result as soon as you run the console application. But you can also develop an UI interface and a modal to ask for confirmation to do addition of 2+2. That’s what is happening over here.
Moreover, with the latest releases of Web PnP SDK 8.7.0, now you can use the WalletServices plugin to show the approval screens. We’ll release the docs soon. Below is the screenshot from Mobile SDK.
Metamask is a third party wallet, not a key management solution. Just like Metamask asks for the confirmation from user before signing the transactions, same can be done for Web3Auth by you.
NFT Visibility:
Again, Metamask is a wallet, that means it’s supposed to show the assets be it coins or NFTS. Web3Auth on other hand is a Key management service, that means once you have user’s private & public key after successful authentication you can fetch all the assets be it tokens, or NFTs. You can user service like Unmarshal.io. You can also use our WalletServcies too which provides give prebuilt white-label UI for Wallet .
I’ll like to conclude that you can have every functionality that Metamask has with Web3Auth, but Metamask can’t have every functionality that Web3Auth provides.
Social login: Onboarding is a very major issue in Web3 ecosystem. Remembering the mnemonic or private key is tough, and if you lose it, there’s no way to recover it. This results in loss of funds forever. Also, it’s complex to make Web2 users understand private key/ mnemonic, and its importance. That’s why social login is a key to onboard new users, since they are already familiar with Web3 login flows.
MPC TSS: Web3Auth apart from the SSS architecture also provides the MPC TSS architecture. In MPC TSS private key is split into multiple partial keys, which are never stored together in one place. Furthermore, in the MPC architecture, the private key is never reconstructed, enhancing security. The partial keys are stored in different locations and the user’s device. These partial keys are used to create partial signatures for messages and transactions. These partial signatures are then combined using Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) to produce a final signature, which can be used for transactions on the
blockchain. MPC Core Kit supports both secp256k1 and ed25519 curves, so you can generate both ECDSA and EdDSA signatures. Read more about MPC TSS.
NFT services: Web3Auth has recently added the NFT services to assist you in creating and deploying contracts, minting NFTs, and integrating a seamless fiat-based NFT Checkout experience for your users. You can either provide the free mint, airdrop NFTs to the user, or ask the payment in Fiat/crypto. Read more about NFT services.
Wallet Services: With Wallet Services plugin, you can use the templated wallet UI which. Apart from that it also providers support for On Ramp provider with support in more than 100 countries. Read more about Wallet Services.
For Advice
-
The most secure and user-friendly onboarding process: You can definitely use Web3Auth for secure and user friendly onboarding process using social login. Web3Auth doesn’t store any private key, private keys are mathematically generated based on social login, and MFA user has setup. For example, one share can be social login, other share can be user’s device. Users can also add backup options and recover the wallet in case if the lost the device.
-
Effective management and visibility of NFTs: You can definitely use our WalletServices for better management and visibility of NFTs, if you wish to build your own Custom UI, there are Blockchain Data APIs available which can help you. For example Unmarshal.io.
-
Balancing ease of use with the principles of decentralization: Web3Auth is completely decentralised, and I think you have already went through docs how we do that. Moreover the nodes that Web3Auth users are not run by a single entity. You can check the node operators.
