Problem

Onboarding new crypto users has become increasingly challenging. This process should be as simple as joining the traditional banking system, but complex wallet creation and limited adoption of account abstraction have created significant barriers.

Key challenges include:

• Users struggle with sending USDC across chains due to manual network switching, approval pop-ups, bridging, and gas complexity—making everyday transactions clunky and error-prone.
• Poor Web3 UX & Adoption Barrier
  • The convoluted experience of bridging and configuring chains deters mainstream users and slows adoption. Complexity undermines participation.
• Sybil Attacks in Decentralized Identity
  • Without robust identity verification, Web3 platforms are vulnerable to bots and Sybil attacks—jeopardizing fair token distributions, governance, and community integrity.
• Centralized Identity Vulnerabilities
  • Traditional identity systems depend on monolithic databases (e.g. Google, Facebook), risking data breaches, surveillance, and loss of user control.

In Q1 2024, we encountered a practical challenge while deploying telecommunication systems in an underserved community in Mexico.

The problem became clear: we needed to pay these community members regularly, but doing so was difficult. Managing payments for a few households might be manageable, but scaling to 300 monthly payments presented significant hurdles.
