Overview
Web3Auth provides authentication infrastructure for Web3.0 wallets and decentralized applications. It offers a plug-and-play service that lets developers add user onboarding and secure login to DApps using MPC-based cryptography, eliminating seed phrases. The product works by handling key management and authentication flows on behalf of the app, enabling users to sign in with familiar methods while keeping their crypto keys secure through multi-party computation. Web3Auth differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on developer-friendly authentication infrastructure for the Web3 space, simplifying onboarding for mainstream users, and reducing security frictions and support needs. Its goal is to accelerate Web3 adoption by making secure, easy-to-use login and onboarding accessible to any DApp or wallet, converting more visitors into users and reducing barriers to entry.

What makes Web3Auth unique
- Web3Auth's MPC social login survives under Consensys, pairing Web2 auth with Web3 wallets.
