Avalanche has integrated Torus’ DirectAuth to streamline the setup process for the Avalanche Wallet.

Avalanche is the latest blockchain to integrate DirectAuth by Torus to provide its users with one-click logins. Now live on Avalanche Wallet, DirectAuth gives users the option to create their own blockchain wallet in a single step with their existing Google accounts.

DirectAuth abstracts away any complicated onboarding processes for users who might be new to interacting with decentralized applications; these users no longer have to worry about managing their own private keys. As they dive deeper and learn more about blockchain technology, they can easily switch to the other more customizable options within the wallet.

Build Industry Ready Finance Applications on Avalanche

Avalanche is the open-source platform, powered by the Avalanche protocol, that enables developers to launch finance applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem.

With the ability to scale to thousands of nodes, developers can avoid centralization risks plaguing current blockchains to build a truly decentralized protocol. The customizable public and private blockchains launched on Avalanche are also able to define its own core logic and validator set, providing compliance and privacy by default.

With this DirectAuth integration, developers building on top of Avalanche gain access to the seamless onboarding functionality and are able to offer users with a simple, secure authentication process that they are familiar with, alongside other security features that come with using OAuth accounts. Users can apply 2FA security to their accounts (this is strongly advised) and have an additional layer of recoverability for their private keys.

We’re excited to lay down the necessary infrastructure for user-focused decentralized finance applications with Avalanche and look forward to the new wave of pragmatic applications to be built with Avalanche and DirectAuth.

Developers looking to build their finance applications on Avalanche can start here.
