Privy

What is Privy.io?

Privy is a platform that enhances data privacy and security in blockchain applications by providing tools for data encryption, granular access control, and seamless integration with existing dApps. It empowers users to manage their own encryption keys and ensures compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA, making blockchain-based applications more secure and user-centric.

What is Privy Wallet?

Privy is all about choice. Users can:

  • connect an external Ethereum wallet to your app,

  • or create a secure, self-custodial embedded wallet associated with their login method.

Both types support signature and transaction requests, with embedded wallets offering more customization.

  • External wallets are managed by third-party clients and can link multiple wallets to user accounts.

  • Embedded wallets are provisioned by Privy, integrated directly into your app, and ideal for users without external wallets.

You can manage embedded wallets and request signatures and transactions using Privy's methods or libraries like wagmi.

What this means to you

You can onboard your users to web3 by implementing Privy wallet within your app. To that end, Privy provides a React-based authentication SDK.

The Privy docs have a nice Quick Start section, but we also advise you to have a look at their Recipes section, especially the Starter Repos page which guides you with NextJS, Create React App and Wagmi templates.
