Founders

genuinely curious why so many project founders choose embedded wallets v. connect. 

as a user it feels like death by a thousand paper cuts.

Because:

1. Embedded wallets work reliably on mobile.

The issue is the mobile operating systems have poor support for switching between apps, especially if it requires multiple rounds.

2. Most people in the world don’t have a wallet

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

1. Power users already have a wallet they want to use

For the most part, these power users don't use apps. And for the power users who use apps, most are fine using the better UX.

Thus, why the market is the way it is.

It's how web2 works and has scaled just fine

problem is that its not actually better longterm, but worse ("death by a thousand cuts"). embedded wallets create more problems than they solve. users are realizing this
