The world of cryptocurrencies has been growing at an unparalleled pace. However, one aspect that has often been highlighted as a significant hindrance to its mainstream adoption is the poor user experience (UX). The complex process of creating and managing wallets, the jargons used, and the need for understanding blockchain technology to some extent, have made it difficult for many potential users to embrace cryptocurrencies.
However, recent developments suggest that this is about to change. A new solution called 'Intents' and 'Passkeys' has been introduced to improve the UX in the crypto world. This solution aims to replace the complex and intimidating processes with easy-to-understand, user-friendly methods.
'Intents' are similar to transaction requests in traditional banking systems, where a user can receive a payment without having to share their bank details. In the crypto context, 'Intents' allow users to make transactions without having to share their public keys. Instead, they can share an 'Intent' that holds the transaction information.
'Passkeys,' on the other hand, are mnemonic phrases, similar to passwords, which provide access to wallets. These passkeys are much easier to remember and manage than the long and confusing private keys currently in use. Furthermore, they are also secured by biometric data, making them even more secure.
Another significant development is 'Chain Abstraction.' This technology allows applications to interact with multiple blockchains seamlessly, without the user having to understand the underlying technology. This means users can now engage with different cryptocurrencies without having to understand the nuances of each blockchain.
These advancements are expected to remove the barriers to entry for many potential users and could potentially lead to a surge in the adoption of cryptocurrencies by the mainstream public. The crypto world is finally addressing its UX woes, and the future looks promising.
