You're building an app and can use:

1. Privy, et al that enable a simple, segregated wallet for your app alone

2. Single sign-on w/ unified wallet that enables users to bring their assets/identity everywhere

Assume for a moment they both offer seamless UX w/o janky app-switching, gas fees, etc.

Which do you choose?

I’d include both as options to users. Give an option, both during signup and as a later option, to bring your own wallet, but also have a built in one for those who don’t have one or don’t want to link it. Adding your own wallet later would have the option to send existing funds in the built in to the linked one.

This would kind of mirror the web2 approach - you can create your AirBnB username/password that is dedicated and segregated, but you can also login with Google to use a unified identity. A lot of differences under the hood, but definitely some precedents for that approach.
