FAQs

• Why not ship with all wallets?

  • Unnecessary bloat and bundle size on your dApp
  • It's not sensible to always maintain an ever-growing list of wallets
  • many existing wallets are not well maintained, often with unpatched security, or abandoned development
  • lack of users
  • does not support Versioned Transaction, severely limiting the adoption of many innovative functionalities of dApp.
  • and hopefully, a gradually disappearing list of installed wallet adapter, as they migrate to wallet-standard

• Why not just use the existing wallet adapters?

  • To bootstrap a dApp, we always find ourself doing the same thing over and over again, such as:
    • notification when wallets are selected, connecting, connected, disconnected.
    • auto reconnect to the last connected wallet
    • mobile-first, responsive design
    • themeing support (coming soon)
    • Internationalization (i18n) support (coming soon)
  • And on ecosystem level
    • new user onboarding (coming soon)

• why not ship with notification by default

  • existing dApp might already have their own notification system
