Free, unlimited wallets — save 💸💸💸

Today we’re excited to announce a huge offer to the web3 development community.

We're giving FREE, unlimited In-App wallets to all developers for 12 months — Which means you can onboard infinite users with email, phone or social sign-in. (Offer is redeemable until October 31st.)

Claim by creating a thirdweb account today, signing up and entering the code "FREEWALLETS" under ‘billing’ on the dashboard, or click ‘Claim Now’ below.

Why are we doing this?

In the future, every user on the internet will have a wallet.

With the transaction time and cost trending towards zero, any developer can now build and scale onchain apps with perfect UX. We believe that now is the time to capture this opportunity, and kill all friction for developers.

Last month, we announced that 1.6m+ wallets were connected to web3 apps and games using our tools.

And by making wallets free, we will accelerate this number and increase the pace of web3 consumer crypto adoption by giving developers the freedom to build without the limitation of per wallet usage pricing.

Meanwhile… the thirdweb engineers have been cooking — Here’s everything we shipped this week:

Connect

• Added support for Unstoppable Domains: Retrieve domains assigned to a wallet address or fetch the wallet address behind a domain name for Unstoppable Domains. Learn how to retrieve domain name from an address.

• Ecosystem Wallets available in React Native: Build a network of web and mobile applications that all share the same user identity. Get started with Ecosystem Wallets in React Native

• Account Abstraction, Social Profiles and Account Linking in .NET/Unity: Sped up transactions on smartWallet resulting in 50% speed increases, added support to fetch social profiles, and exposed account linking identity. Get started with .NET/Unity.

Engine

• Automatic version updates: Cloud-hosted users are able to trigger version updates directly from the UI. Check for updates.

• Reduced Docker build times: Developers building Engine from source will see a major reduction of ~85% on their build times estimated at around 7 minutes. Learn how to self-host an Engine instance.

• Added smarter max gas fees and timeouts: Better handle transactions by delaying them when gas prices are high until they drop below a specified max fee. If a transaction isn't sent within your defined timeout, Engine will automatically cancel it.

Infrastructure

• Enhanced performance for composite contracts: Refactored the ABI resolution, introduced checks to prevent recursive calls and other redundant-heavy mechanics, improved error handling, and added functionality to resulting in improved build times and reliable contract data persistence.

• Introducing Insight — Our Blockchain data product: Released an open source indexer and API to perform queries such as retrieving token balances, historic transactions, and more. Test it out now. Try out the beta release.

We’re excited to launch the third cohort of our Startup Program!

Every builder accepted into the program will benefit from:

• Over $5k in Free Credits: You’ll get 3 months of Engine and Growth for free, 1 year of unlimited free in-app wallets, and credits from partners such as AWS Cloud.
