The post Why ICP Needs Wallet Standards: NFID’s Wallet-Centric Solution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

contributor Posted: December 17, 2024 The ICP network is the go-to destination for decentralized applications, yet its journey has encountered significant hurdles. One of the core challenges is its app-centric approach, which has inadvertently slowed down Web3 adoption on the network.  This issue is also driven by the absence of a universal wallet solution, pointing to dissatisfaction with the fragmented user experience on ICP.  At the center of these complexities, NFID is addressing these challenges head-on with wallet standards and tools aimed at reshaping the ICP landscape in the user’s favor.

NFID’s standards and their one-click email authentication and passkey onboarding reduce the learning curve for users and accelerate the adoption of ICP’s ecosystem. Developer Friction: Developers have had to integrate multiple wallet solutions or build their own, leading to redundant work and slower development cycles. This has made ICP less…
