the next billion dollar web3 opportunity

As the world moves onchain, mobile apps will be crucial for onboarding a mainstream audience.

In 2024, several mobile apps have gained significant traction, including Blackbird, Cityverse Tycoon and Drakula.

With nearly 7 billion smartphones worldwide, creating exceptional onchain mobile experiences and apps is vital for the future of web3.

At thirdweb, we are dedicated to providing the most comprehensive toolkit for developing onchain mobile apps across all EVM chains.

Here’s everything we’ve shipped in the last two months to make this vision a reality.

Passkey Sign-In 🤳

Passkey Sign-in lets users create a smart account with fingerprint or Face ID:

• No account creation

• No password resets

• One wallet address across EVM chains

Simple, secure sign-in — powered by Account Abstraction.

Connect UI Components for React Native SDK. 🎨

One line of code to connect 300+ wallets to your mobile apps. ✨

◆ generate wallets from social/email/phone
◆ create ERC4337 smart accounts

Integrate with:

→ ConnectButton: All in one component that handles wallet connection and wallet/asset management.
→ ConnectEmbed: Connection component only, embeddable into any screen (or build your own UI w/ the useConnect hook)

First-class SIWE support in React Native. 🎨

We've added first-class Auth support to our React Native SDK.

This lets you securely store user wallet addresses on your backend using the Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) protocol.

A common use case for onchain apps is to securely store the user's wallet address on a backend.

Integrating Auth streamlines setting up the Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) protocol between your app and your backend.
