Introduction
- A tool for developers to build wallets and login systems into their apps.
- It makes Web3 feel like Web2:
- Login with email
- Wallet created automatically
- No scary seed phrase at start
- App handles everything
Privy is doing:
Authentication (login)
- Users can sign up using:
- Email
- Google
- Phone number
- Wallet (MetaMask)
Embedded wallets
- Privy auto create a crypto wallet for the user
- Inside the app (no extension needed)
- Example:
- User logs in with Gmail → boom → they already have a wallet
- These wallets are still self-custodial (user owns keys)
Transaction signing
- Send transactions
- Sign messages
- Interact with smart contracts
