So one of the moonshot things I think onchain tech needs is a native phoneOS. The horrendous and fragile flow of web app to wallet connect to wallet then back again to sign is not entirely crypto’s fault, and I suspect not solvable within conventional OSes…

It’s an artifact of physical constraints of phones and to some extent tablets. Small screen + touch = apps sharing screen is hard + modals suck By contrast desktop browser wallets seem to work well enough, modulo some race conditions bs between multiple wallets that are probably solvable within OS/browser API models

Why do I think this is not solvable in traditional OS? Basically you need app-to-app decentralized trust model that’s not mediated by the device OS too much and a way for apps to inject composable components into each other’s UIs. Ie one app should be able to expose a negotiated plugin interface in another.

I am bullish that the combination of 7212 and Secure Payment Confirmation solves this SPC has support in chrome and there is some on going work to get it adopted in safari and Firefox (although it is a long way off) We hacked on this at ETH Global London https://ethglobal.com/showcase/spc-wallet-service-xn68p
