If someone were to rebuild Metamask today, what would it look like?

engineer / founder 🇦🇺 I love zk proofs, vm's, mimetics, navigating latent space. Live by gradient ascent

here’s one project that has done exactly that over the last year: https://github.com/tallycash

i think there are many others

I think there's an opportunity to make a desktop-class wallet UX that is 10x better than this

Like here are the things I think are important:

Accounts.

Grouping accounts into categories (ie. trading, socials). Giving them labels in one click.

You should be able to export the list of your accounts as a .csv. No more manual tracking. Easy.

Accounts could be stored in system Keychain. No more screwing around with private key management. TouchID to unlock.

Multi-chain/rollup is the future, it should be seamless.

- Connects with every EVM chain from the start, no configuration required.
- Interact with multiple chains concurrently without switching.
- Built-in bridging between any chain.

Last one - native support for Gnosis DAO's. I want notifications when there's a vote, a one-click action to approve/inspect.

A couple other design challenges that we should solve:

How to make sure my wallets don’t get blown away? Where is the data stored / backed up to?
- Accounts are stored in macOS Keychain, which is in iCloud.

How do I make sure when I am sending someone USD, it is to the right address?
    - Native integration with exchanges - Binance, Coinbase, etc.?

For developers, I think we should have:

- Built-in test accounts for Hardhat, Foundry.
- Built-in “fill me up” faucet access for any testnet.
