隱形基礎設施第05期｜對話OKX Web3：插件錢包的三大核心優勢

Here’s a question: As a Web3 user, do you often use a plug-in wallet or a mobile wallet?

More and more similarities are being discovered between the internet and crypto industries.

As if replicating the process of the Internet from PC to mobile, since the rise of blockchain and decentralized technology, the main interaction method in the early days of the crypto industry also started from the browser plug-in wallet on the PC, and gradually began to merge with the developing mobile wallet. In the early days of the industry, the emergence of plug-in wallets broke the technical barriers for users to interact with blockchain, allowing ordinary users to use blockchain applications without writing code, and quickly became an important tool for users to enter the decentralized world.

The representative of early plug-in wallets was MetaMask, which was launched in 2016 and became the first plug-in wallet that allowed users to directly connect to the Ethereum blockchain through a browser. In addition, with the development of Web3 applications such as DeFi, NFT, and GameFi, users demand for plug-in wallets continues to evolve. In 2021, with the launch of a new generation of Web3 wallets represented by the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet, the functions of plug-in wallets have expanded from simple asset storage and transfer to support multi-chain, cross-chain, DApp connection, NFT management, and integrated DeFi services, etc., and have quickly accumulated a large number of users with its user-friendly operation experience.

In addition, we have comprehensively optimized the Onboarding process, added a personalized DApp recommendation function, and provided more easy-to-understand tutorials to help novice users quickly get started and easily enter the Web3 world.

As a unified Web3 wallet on three ends, are there any differences in the services provided to users?

OKX Web3： Different types of Web3 wallets provide their own unique experience based on user habits and needs. The plug-in, mobile and web-based Web3 wallets have different focuses:

1) The plug-in wallet is mainly for professional users, such as DeFi farmers, airdrop hunters, traders, etc. It is convenient for direct interaction with DApp in the browser and is suitable for frequent use of DeFi and NFT. Users can also customize nodes, manage multi-chain assets, and support complex cross-chain operations, etc.

2) Mobile wallets focus on portability, and their interface design is usually more user-friendly. They are more suitable for novice users and users who need to manage assets anytime and anywhere. They are simple and flexible to operate, and take into account comprehensive functions and security. They are suitable for users who need multi-device compatibility and deeper functions.

3) Web wallets are mostly used as dashboards for displaying information. They usually do not have actual asset management functions and are more used to monitor and view on-chain data.

What are the recent Web3 wallet innovations that you are paying attention to?

OKX Web3： Plug-in wallets need to rely on browsers or clients to run, such as Chrome browser or Telegram. This combination with browsers and clients brings rich innovation opportunities to plug-in wallets, such as the recently launched Blink and Sidebar. These innovations not only enhance the users interactive experience, but also expand the application scenarios of plug-in wallets, helping users achieve a better balance between operational convenience and functional extensibility.

Solana Blinks is an innovation on the Solana chain that converts on-chain operations into shareable interactive links. These Blinks allow users to conduct blockchain transactions, such as voting, minting, exchanging, or paying, directly on social media or other websites without leaving their current platform. For example, a user can embed a Blink link in a social media post, and others can click it to purchase NFTs, stake tokens, and more without having to jump to other dApps. When a user clicks on a Blink, a Solana-compatible wallet automatically interprets the action, and the user can approve and complete the transaction. This greatly simplifies complex blockchain interactions, making it as easy as clicking a link. Blinks has successfully built a bridge between Web2 and Web3 by integrating blockchain functionality into common Web2 platforms, providing a more friendly crypto trading experience. In the future, Blinks may also support cross-chain functionality to further enhance its practicality.

The Sidebar function of the Web3 wallet is an interface design, usually located in the sidebar of the wallet plug-in or application, which is used to display the users on-chain assets and real-time data. In professional user scenarios, the Sidebar provides more visual information and interactive operations, such as displaying account balances, transaction records, on-chain assets, DeFi transaction combinations, etc., so that users can quickly access important data and operation options when interacting with DApps.

For products like the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet, Sidebar mode can improve user efficiency, especially for DeFi farmers or professional traders who need to operate frequently. By centrally displaying multi-chain information and real-time data, users do not need to frequently switch windows or interfaces, greatly simplifying the complex on-chain operation process.

In terms of interface design, what optimizations have been made for new users?

OKX Web3： We have made a number of optimizations to improve the new user experience, which can be exemplified in the following two aspects:

1) Simplified user interface: The OKX Web3 plug-in wallet adopts an intuitive and concise interface design, which greatly reduces the technical threshold. The interface layout is clear, and the core functions such as sending, receiving, and viewing assets are clear at a glance, avoiding the use of complex technical terms or Web3 jargon. This design is especially aimed at new users, allowing them to understand and get started faster, reducing confusion caused by unfamiliarity with blockchain technology.

2) Smart risk reminder and optimization: In order to protect the asset security of new users, we have introduced a smart risk reminder function. The wallet will automatically detect and remind users of potential malicious contracts or high-risk operations, helping users reduce unnecessary losses. In addition, during the transaction process, the system will automatically select a better Gas fee, simplifying the steps for users to manually adjust, making transactions more efficient and convenient.

In fact, these improvements not only improve the usability of the wallet, but also help new users have a smoother experience during use, while ensuring asset security and operational efficiency.

Key measures to protect user assets

OKX Web3： Currently, the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet provides security protection in the following aspects:

First, malicious DApp detection

Some DApps may have phishing risks, and users may be induced to sign malicious transactions during use, resulting in financial losses. To prevent this, the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet provides a domain risk detection service. When a user accesses a potentially malicious DApp, the system will automatically pop up an alert window to clearly inform the user of the risks of the website and help the user avoid dangerous operations in a timely manner.

Second, pre-risk interception of pending transactions

OKX Web3 wallet automatically performs pre-risk detection before users sign transactions. If the transaction involves risky addresses, Ethsign risky signatures, authorized external accounts (EOA) or zero-dollar purchases, the system will pop up a risk warning on the signing page to remind users of potential security threats. This can effectively prevent users from signing high-risk transactions without knowing it.

Third, risk authorization reminder

If the user has authorized a potentially risky authorization, the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet will provide a prominent reminder on the homepage. Users can enter the web page according to the prompts to view and manage these authorizations to ensure that their assets are not threatened.

Fourth, risk filtering in transaction history

The users transaction history may be contaminated by spam airdrops, similar address attacks, etc., which may cause the user to be induced to participate in phishing transactions and cause asset losses. To solve this problem, the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet identifies transactions involving these risks and hides risky transactions for users by default, helping users avoid malicious guidance from the root.

The optimization of these functions not only improves the user experience, but also greatly enhances the security of the wallet, providing users with a safer on-chain operating environment. Through multi-level risk detection and prompt mechanisms, the OKX Web3 plug-in wallet effectively protects the security of users assets.

How to achieve support for multiple chains?

OKX Web3： Different blockchains have built a prosperous ecosystem, but at the same time, they have also brought inconvenience to users when managing cross-chain assets. The OKX Web3 wallet actively responds to these challenges, and conducts in-depth research and rapid access to each new heterogeneous chain as soon as possible, allowing users to seamlessly manage multi-chain assets. Through the original aggregate currency and screening chain function, users can easily manage assets on different chains, simplifying the complexity of multi-chain interactions.

There are often incompatibility issues between different chains. In response to this, the OKX Web3 wallet has designed a clear and intuitive interactive interface in various scenarios to help users quickly distinguish and handle operational requirements on different chains. This not only improves the user experience of multi-chain management, but also provides users with more flexibility and control.

Through these innovations, OKX Wallet has achieved the first step of chain abstraction, further simplified the process of multi-chain asset management, and provided users with a more unified and efficient multi-chain solution.
