Excited to learn more about how Banana SDK simplifies the user experience and empowers applications? In this article, we’ll explore the details and discover how Banana SDK revolutionises cross-chain transactions, giving users newfound freedom and control over their digital assets.

Let’s dive in!

The Current Challenge: Onboarding Users and Ensuring Security

In web3 applications, two significant hurdles often hinder user onboarding and retention: complex user experiences and security concerns. Let’s take a closer look at these challenges:

  1. The complexity of Onboarding: One of the significant obstacles users face is the complex onboarding process. Imagine being a new user who wants to use an application but doesn’t have a wallet. The first step would be to download a wallet, then save the seed phrase, and finally go through multiple steps to fund the wallet. This lengthy and multi-step process can overwhelm users, discouraging them from engaging with the application.
  2. Wallet Safety Concerns: Security is another crucial aspect that plagues the adoption of web3 applications. Most wallets today are susceptible to attacks, leaving users’ assets vulnerable. Additionally, storing assets in cold wallets for added security can be cumbersome and inconvenient for users.
  3. Siloed Experience Across Chains: Another challenge arises when users want to access applications across different blockchain networks. For example, paying for an in-game asset on Ethereum with the assets on Polygon. To accomplish this, users are required to constantly switch between networks, bridge assets, and perform token swaps. This fragmented experience makes it difficult for users to seamlessly navigate and interact with applications on different chains.

The combined impact of these UX and security challenges significantly hampers the growth and adoption of web3 applications.
