Particle Network’s social login solutions enhanced EthSign’s user experience, making it simple for both Web2 and Web3 users to login and create a Web3 wallet seamlessly.

- Seamless user interface: The user experience of Web3 products can be complex, posing challenges for users seeking straightforward interactions. Particle’s solution helped EthSign abstract away many of these complexities, offering a more intuitive, user-friendly experience.

- Partnership Ecosystem: Recognizing the significance of integration within a broader ecosystem, EthSign aimed to optimize its outreach and impact. Particle Network’s extensive partnerships and ecosystem further enhanced EthSign’s ecosystem, amplifying its product offerings to many in the Particle’s ecosystem.

“Combining the convenience of social logins with the safety of non-custodial MPC wallets and an incredibly fluid user experience, Particle Network’s web-based wallet is just what we need in EthSign Next.” — Jack Xu, Co-Founder & CTO at EthSign

Solution — Why Did the Client Choose Particle?

EthSign opted for Particle for their authentication & wallet solutions due to three compelling reasons:

With Particle’s Auth solution, EthSign offers seamless integration with Google and Twitter logins, simplifying the onboarding process and enhancing accessibility.

- Enhanced Security Measures: Prioritizing User Trust through Security: In the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain, with its ever-increasing user base, maintaining robust security protocols is crucial. For EthSign, which is centered around handling sensitive contract management, ensuring the utmost security is not just about user trust; it’s about the core functionality of the platform. Particle’s solution equips every new member with automatic MPC-TSS wallets right from the start. This enhances safety standards and bolsters user confidence and trust in the EthSign platform.
