I would start an open source effort to create a standard for in-wallet apps. As much as I love the paradigm of having independent web apps or mobile apps connect to an external wallet, I think we'll soon be hitting the limits of what can be done in terms of UX... and while that UX works, it's not user friendly enough to be mainstream. We should start working on in-wallet apps. What if we turned the paradigm upside down: Instead of wallets connecting to the app, what if it was the app connecting to the wallet instead? 👀 Think about like TG mini-apps or FC frames but tailored to provide an outstanding in-wallet experience with very opinionated design guidelines (cf https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines). The wallet would offer oustanding and *standardized* UX flows for all onchain actions to provide a coherent UX accross apps. Right now, from the wallet, you have an embed web browser but I think we can all agree the UX really sucks.

Let me take a concrete use case I did recently: I wanted to buy a ticket to stream the Ethereum documentary. We're in 2024. Sounds easy enough, right? I was on my bed. Opened CB wallet, open the browser tab, went to the website (tedious already). Website looks "meh" in the embedded browser. Click on "Mint". It asks me if I want to Pay with Wallet or Credit Card. "Wallet". It shows me a button "Connect wallet". I lit a candle. Now it asks "Which wallet". "CB Wallet". Now it asks "Sign to verify". "Sign". Now it asks "Review signature request". "Sign" Biometrics. "Fingerprint". Now I am briefly in "CB wallet". Big UI change. Scary. etc.. etc... you get my point. ...and in the end, it failed 🙈 vs the UX as it should have been:
