Non-custodial walletless onboarding for Flow DApps
We developed a prototype FCL plugin that enables user onboarding to Flow DApps with social accounts in a non-custodial way.

About
The problem it solves This project enhances the walletles hybrid custody idea presented by Flow. User logs in the DApp via social account which creates a DApp specific non-custodial wallet for him using Torus/web3auth protocol embedded in DApp UI Keeps the best UX practices from Flow’s Hybrid custody solution with higher security Easy to deploy for any DApp using FCL (almost all Flow DApps use it) Keeps the best dev practices from FCL for the DApp builders Mitigates DApp regulatory risks and responsibilities that may result from using a custodial walletless solution. We implemented this for flow example app Kitty Items
How it's made
Challenges we ran into We had issues with running own instance of Kitty Items DApp on testnet and we had to spend a lot of time optimizing it. Another issue we encountered was how to display the different social account logins to user. For this, we used the native FCL autodiscovery functionality and basically hacked in 4 social accounts as wallet providers. In production version this would require a single social accounts login button on the wallet selection modal, which would further expand into all social login options. Other than that, the implementation was pretty straightforward.
