<aside> 💡

Why it matters: Early wallet seed obligation causes drop-off. Reducing upfront friction improves exploration and retention.

The Problem

• Many Web3 products ask users to understand wallets, keys, and security before they’ve experienced any value — leading to early abandonment.

The Constraint

• Designed with account abstraction in mind
• Needed to remain compatible with future wallet creation
• Could not rely on users understanding Web3 concepts upfront

<aside> 🚧 Insight: Users don’t need ownership on day one — they need momentum.

The decision

• Started onboarding with a simple username
• Deferred wallet creation to a later stage
