for years, Web3 builders tried to reinvent everything - from payment rails to key storage.
out of faith, not logic. it was a ritual of purity: if it’s not fully decentralized, it’s not real. but over time, the smartest teams realized that rebuilding the same wallet logic for every project makes no one more decentralized - it just wastes time.
that realization gave rise to Wallet-as-a-Service - not as a compromise, but as evolution.
WaaS isn’t just a shortcut for developers - it benefits everyone across the chain:
- builders get to skip months of infrastructure work
- projects reach users faster
- and businesses that rely on WaaS finally add crypto management tools in a matter of several days
for example, according to a recent CMC piece, one marketplace managed to launch in just 3 months instead of 12 - simply by integrating WaaS!
and that case says a lot about where Web3 is heading, about its new reality: infrastructure is no longer the bottleneck. the winners aren’t those who write the cleanest smart contracts - they’re the ones who reach users first. WaaS just makes that obvious.
