Wally Wallet is changing the fundamentals of Web3 logins. Instead of trusting 3rd party plugins and providing your secrets to handle your wallet, you can now log in to Web applications and manage your assets from a single device. It doesn’t require you to trust anyone; it gives you full control of your wallet, and each step must be approved before any funds can be moved.
The old-fashioned “connect your wallet” ritual is neither secure nor efficient. The industry has already witnessed numerous hacks and compromises involving these plugins. Wally is removing a layer of trust by design, giving you full control of your assets.
Wally removes the intermediary between you and Web3 applications. You can connect it to decentralized marketplaces, exchanges, games, and all kinds of other applications without any extensions, intermediaries, or plugins.
Just scan the QR code with your Wally, and it will request approval on your device. You see and have control of each action, each sign, and each trade offer. There is no blind signing or other issues the industry has faced for years. The only one in control of your assets is you.
Features of Wally Wallet
Wally Wallet opens a door into the Nexa digital reality. It provides you with a digital identity that serves as both your key and your signature. Once connected, you can do everything you’d normally expect from Web3 wallets and plugins.
-
Log in to any Nexa application, such assuch as marketplaces, exchanges, games, payment gateways, and others. Wally is your account instead of emails, passwords, or sign-up forms.
-
Buy, mint, and trade assets straight in the wallet. All application requests, such as minting an NFT, swapping tokens, or checking out in a store, send a request to your Wally Wallet for approval.
-
Your wallet is your profile, and no one else has control over it. In the same way you are the only one in control of your funds, Wally also gives you back control over your profile.
-
Wally is designed for payments, micropayments, and service connections. You can easily set limited or automated approvals for the sites you trust. You are also in control of the maximum cap per payment, per day, per week, or per month.
-
Prove ownership and sign messages for allow-lists, gated content, verifications, and other use cases.
With Wally Wallet, you can manage everything in one place: NEXA coins, tokens, NFTs, tickets, and all the other digital assets. You can execute peer-to-peer trades, log in to applications with the same identity that you control, and there is no layer of trust involved.
Wally Versus Extensions
Extensions you are used to have a lot of unnecessary baggage. Your machine’s environment can be compromised, plugins themselves can be spoofed and exploited, and they hold your actual seed phrase within the browser itself. Wally works differently, and its architecture removes many attack surfaces.
-
No plugins and extensions to install. One application you already have on your smartphone (instead of an extension on every device and browser)
-
Passwordless login. A signature made on your phone (instead of a password or seed-backed extension session)
-
Direct connection. There is no dependency or server in the middle (instead of a bridge service brokering the session)
-
Nothing injected into your browser. You control everything in the application remotely from your wallet and confirm/deny each step (instead of an extension running inside every page you open)
-
A unique, unlinkable identity per site, or a shared one, depending on your needs (instead of one address every site can see and track)
-
Hard spending caps you set, per payment, day, week, month, revocable anytime (instead of approving every transaction or granting open-ended allowances)
-
Selective profile sharing of name, email, and avatar, straight from your wallet (instead of sites collecting your data themselves)
-
Native on Android and iOS. Linux, macOS, and Windows are coming (instead of a browser-bound plugin)
Wally gives you everything you would expect from any extension, plugin, or wallet controlling any decentralized application. The catch is that it removes the layer of trust extensions can exploit and gives you power over each action in the most secure manner.
Safety Is The Architecture
This is the part that matters the most for all wallets, extensions, and plugins. Safety and security are crucial parts in storing and controlling your assets. In Wally, every architectural decision is made so that users stay protected at all times.
Your secrets and keys never leave your device. Applications that are connected to the Wally Wallet send a one-time challenge, which Wally signs and sends back only the signature.
There is no phishing. Every application you connect to has a unique domain bound to that site. Your unique login identity is derived from this unique address and cannot be spoofed or replaced. A different site generates a different key, which is obvious to the end user.
No extension means no extension attacks. The single largest attack surface of the plugin era — malicious or hijacked browser extensions with a view into every tab — simply doesn’t exist here. Nothing is living in your browser.
No extensions and plugins means no attacks. The largest attack surfaces are malicious or hijacked extensions and plugins. Wally removes these by design, and you actually have power over every action on the application you are connected to.
No blind signing problem. Each signature and transaction is visible, readable, and understandable to humans. It means you do see and understand every action you perform with your wallet.
Connecting is not a blank cheque. Logging in and letting applications spend or swap tokens are two separate actions. Connecting to the application doesn’t grant you any access to it, and every action needs to be approved by you separately. For the sites you trust, you can also approve amounts that they are allowed to spend if you want to avoid confirming it each time.
You share only what you mean to. There is no standing permission you can forget about, or for a profile to be harvested behind your back. Every field and every payment cap, every connection is yours to see, change, or cut off.
In Conclusion
Wally Wallet is setting a new path and an architectural foundation for how users can interact with Web3 applications and blockchain. Instead of trusting 3rd-party plugins and extensions, it gives you power and control over them.
It is easy to integrate for developers and easy to use for end-users. It embeds a safe and secure architecture and removes another middleman between you and the application. Crypto is supposed to be sovereign, self-custodial, and trustless, and Wally brings it back.
