Consumer Crypto

Over the next 2 years, the familiar "Connect Wallet" affordance will disappear from most DApps except DeFi. 

Crypto onboarding will occur through simple, familiar mechanisms. No pop-ups, no hashes, no transactions, no fees.

Users won't even know they're using crypto.

You're probably right, but there is no better UX than sign in with wallet imo. 

Every time I have to use an email sign in I cry a little.

A common misconception! The method of authentication (e.g. with Google or Email) is totally independent of the custodial nature of the wallet. Coinbase's Embedded Wallets are non-custodial, using multiparty computation under the hood to shard your private key for maximal security.

I have full control over my wallets, which cannot be said for corporate-owned service accounts. 
Wallet connect provides me with independence and resistance to censorship or other forms of repression.

This is huge. This will make it so much easier for people to get onboarded. I can see endless possibilities here. Amazing work from the Coinbase Wallet team!

This is exactly what I've been saying! Tip 1000 $degen

💯 you and the team are doing an incredible job 🤝

I’d argue that wallet sign-in is better ux than email / password.  I think it will look more like apple passkey than email/password.  

Embedded wallets at a device level perhaps?
