Self-custodial wallets often represent the first point of contact for crypto users that venture away from centralised exchanges. As a result, their security and user experience should be paramount. This often explained Metamask's first mover advantage and the users' reluctance to change. However, as infrastructure evolves, new wallets are equipped from the get-go with features that are designed for normie adoption, such as: account abstraction, gas fee abstraction, easier on- and off-ramp, etc. Zeal was envisioned as a day-to-day wallet solution, allowing users true freedom to transact, both on-chain, as well as off-chain (i.e. real world spendings).Topics covered in this episode:Hannes' backgroundExisting wallet solutions and Zeal's userbaseWallet UX, account abstraction and passkeysSecurity assumptions and passkey recoverySmart contract interactionsZeal's mobile-first focusIBAN & Gnosis Pay integrationsCapturing market shareBanking the unbankedGas feesCross-chain interoperabilityDeFi & stakingMonetisationPrivacyZeal's backendGrowth & business scaling in Web3Zealot recruitmentEpisode links:Hannes Graah on TwitterHannes Graah on LinkedInZeal on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Maksim Hramadtsou is the founder and CEO of GoodCrypto and goodcryptoX - a next-generation non-custodial DEX trading platform that revolutionizes DEX trading with the help of ERC-4337 Account Abstraction and Smart Contract Wallets. Why you should listen Maksim founded 2018 GoodCrypto in 2018, an all-in-one crypto portfolio manager and multi-exchange trading terminal. GoodCrypto supports 35 centralized exchanges and has grown to over 200k registered users and over $3B of trading volume. Following the launch of Uniswap v2 in 2020, Maksim and his team have looked at integrating DEXs in the app to provide DEX traders with the same UX and trading tools they are accustomed to when trading on CEXs.  They believe that DEX trading should be fully non-custodial - anything less that that directly contradicts the whole point of decentralized trading The recent adoption of ERC-4337 Account Abstraction has provided the opportunity to create a fully non-custodial feature-rich DEX trading platform - this is goodcryptoX. goodcryptoX creates a smart contract wallet that only the user controls. It is tied to your social login or an existing Metamask wallet. That smart contract wallet issues 'session keys' - a kind of on-chain API key to your wallet that allows our platform to trade on your behalf within the smart contract-enforced limits that you set. This allows goodcryptox to bring to DEXs most of the features of CEX trading: from trailing stop order and stop-loss/take-profit combos to DCA and Grid trading bots and trading on technical indicators and TradingView webhooks. Besides CEX functionality, smart contract wallets allow goodcryptoX to also offer a number of unique DeFi-specific features: from the ability to pay gas fees in any ERC-20 token and automated buying of gas tokens when they are cheap and using them when the network becomes congested to automatically bridging your tokens to an L2 chain like Arbitrum, running your bots there to save on gas fees and auto-bridging them back after. goodcryptoX will support all leading DEXs on all EVM-compatible blockchains. GOOD token is the native utility token of goodcryptoX. GOOD provides revenue share, governance, and swapping fee discounts. Join the waitlist now!

Epicenter - Learn about Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed Technologies

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 backgroundThe motivation behind building a Web3 walletZerion UX and securitySeed phrase storingZerion user profileChallenges in building a new wallet appProtecting users and potential attack vectorsSupported blockchains and (seamless) bridgingAccount abstraction and MPCBusiness models for Web3 walletsEpisode links:Evgeny Yurtaev on TwitterZerion on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Friederike Ernst.

Michael Messele is the Co-Founder and CEO of Pillar Project, and also at the helm of Etherspot, revolutionizing cross-chain asset transfers and Web3 user experience. A seasoned campaigner in the FinTech realm, Messele brings his 15+ years of experience to the table, sharing profound insights from his blockchain journey. Today, Messele outlines the significance of decentralized economies and how it can shape future technologies. From Cranfield School of Management to leading multiple blockchain-centric projects, Messele discusses his leadership ethos, entrepreneurial spirit, and his keen interest in exotic derivatives and independent pricing verification. During the podcast, we focus on the major pain-points of blockchain adoption. They discuss how to create a frictionless Web3 user experience via Account Abstraction, the potential to draw millions into the DeFi space, and demystify the transition from Web2 to Web3 for developers. Also, they contemplate why Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) should ideally steer product development in the blockchain arena. Additionally, we attempt to unravel Etherspot's contributions to simplify decentralized apps usage and minimize transaction barriers. They converse about account abstraction's role in simplifying decentralized wallets usage while preserving data ownership. Furthermore, the hurdles faced by Web2 developers during the Web3 transition and the solutions Etherspot provides to smoothen this transition are discussed. Finally, the future of web development, the evolving dynamic between DAOs and conventional product development structures, and data ownership's importance are expounded upon. Stay tuned for an enlightening discussion on the power of decentralization, continuous learning, and the future of blockchain.
