Centralized and decentralized applications in the crypto industry are forming a balance:Centralized platforms provide convenient transaction entry and higher security, while decentralized wallets provide a unified on-chain entry and higher privacy, thereby more comprehensively meeting user needs.

And crypto wallets are becoming an important form of decentralized applications. According to the "Crypto Wallet Market Outlook 2023" report, the global crypto wallet market size has reached US$8 billion in 2023, and is expected to continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.2% by 2028, and the total market value will exceed US$20 billion. In addition, according to Statista statistics, the number of global crypto wallet users has exceeded 50 million in 2024, an increase of more than 200% over 2020.

Among them, crypto mobile wallets are expanding their user base through their higher convenience, and may be becoming a "Web3 super application". As of now, the usage rate of mobile wallets accounts for more than 60%, and the average daily crypto transaction volume processed has increased from US$100 million in 2020 to more than US$1 billion in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of about 85%. In terms of applications, according to DappRadar data, more than 70% of NFT transactions are completed through mobile wallets, and about 65% of DeFi users rely on mobile wallets for transactions and staking.

Mobile wallets have undergone rapid evolution in the past few years, from the initial simple cryptocurrency storage tool to a comprehensive platform that supports complex functions such as DeFi, NFT transactions, and cross-chain functions. As the industry's leading one-stop Web3 portal, Invisible Infrastructure 06 will focus on the OKX Web3 mobile wallet (hereinafter referred to as "OKX Web3 mobile wallet"), and through dialogue, we will deeply explore the OKX Web3 mobile wallet team's product construction and cognition, hoping to help users better understand and use mobile wallets.

How to quickly respond to user needs and market hotspots? And stay ahead in a rapidly changing industry?

OKX Web3: In terms of responding to user needs and market hot spots, we have established an efficient market hot spot response mechanism to ensure that the OKX Web3 mobile wallet can quickly capture and adapt to market dynamics. Whether it is the launch of a new public chain, the rise of DeFi protocols, or the popularity of Meme tokens, the OKX Web3 mobile wallet will quickly integrate these emerging features and services after completing investigations and evaluations. In addition, through close cooperation with popular protocols or early support for emerging chains, we provide users with a diverse and rich Web3 ecosystem, helping them to easily participate in and experience the latest on-chain innovations at the forefront of the industry.

In addition, in order to stay ahead in the rapidly changing industry, we have done the following: proactively deploy Web3 cutting-edge technologies, promote the coordinated development of multi-chain ecosystems, and collect user feedback through multiple channels.

In terms of proactively deploying Web3 cutting-edge technologies:We are not only a follower in the market, but also a promoter of innovation. The OKX Web3 mobile wallet maintains close communication with the global developer community and establishes in-depth cooperation with cutting-edge DApps and protocols to ensure that we can provide users with cutting-edge functions and rich resources. This close partnership allows us to remain competitive and bring users a continuously upgraded experience.

In terms of promoting the coordinated development of multi-chain ecosystems:The OKX Web3 mobile wallet is committed to breaking down the barriers between chains, creating a unified user experience through cross-chain interoperability, liquidity aggregation, developer support, etc., so that they can enjoy a more convenient multi-chain asset management experience. At the same time, it also promotes the common prosperity of each chain ecosystem, enhances the interaction between users and projects, and promotes the overall development of the Web3 ecosystem.

In terms of collecting user feedback through multiple channels:We attach great importance to user voices, and can quickly collect user needs and suggestions through multiple channels such as built-in feedback systems, social media interactions and community operations.

Through these measures, OKX Web3 mobile wallet can not only respond quickly to market changes, but also continue to lead the development of the industry through technological innovation, ecological synergy and user feedback.

What technical measures have been adopted to protect the security of user assets?

OKX Web3:In terms of protecting the security of user assets, we have adopted multi-level technical measures to ensure that users are in a safe environment. Currently. Key protection levels cover:

1) Malicious DApp detection. Some DApps may have the risk of phishing or malicious transactions. Users may be induced to sign malicious transactions and suffer asset losses without knowing it. To prevent this, the OKX Web3 mobile wallet has introduced a "Domain Risk Detection" service. When a user visits a potentially malicious DApp, the system will automatically pop up an alarm window to clearly remind the user of the potential risks of the website, thereby helping the user to avoid possible dangerous operations in a timely manner.

2) Pre-risk interception of pending transactions. OKX Web3 mobile wallet will automatically perform "pre-risk detection" before the user signs the transaction. If a transaction involves a risky address, Ethsign risk signature, authorized external account (EOA) or zero-dollar purchase, the system will pop up a risk prompt on the signing page to remind the user of the potential security threat. This can effectively prevent users from signing high-risk transactions without knowing it, thereby reducing the possible loss of funds.

3) Risk authorization reminder. If the user already has authorization for potential risks, OKX Web3 mobile wallet will remind the user of these potential risks on the homepage. Users can enter the web page according to the prompts to view and manage these authorizations to ensure that their assets are not threatened.

4) Risk filtering in transaction history. The user's transaction history may be contaminated by spam airdrops, similar address attacks, etc., causing the user to be induced to participate in phishing transactions and cause asset losses. To solve this problem, the OKX Web3 mobile wallet has marked transactions involving these risks and hidden risky transactions for users by default, preventing users from accidentally clicking or performing unsafe operations, and helping users reduce the risk of being maliciously guided from the root.

We hope that through these technical measures, we can provide users with a safer and more reliable on-chain operating environment and effectively protect the security of users' assets.

Future planning of OKX Web3 mobile wallet

OKX Web3:In the future, the OKX Web3 mobile wallet will further accelerate technological innovation and product iteration through close cooperation with the global developer community, and continuously promote the upgrade of wallet functions. Through these innovations, we are committed to simplifying cumbersome blockchain operations, lowering the learning threshold and risk of misoperation for users, helping new users get started quickly, and allowing every user to efficiently and conveniently use the powerful functions of the wallet.

In addition, the OKX Web3 mobile wallet aims to provide users with a one-stop Web3 portal, providing users with accurate Web3 industry information instantly through aggregating multiple channels and rich display forms, creating a comprehensive Web3 ecological portal. Users can not only easily discover the latest projects and industry trends, but also gain an in-depth understanding of the cutting-edge trends in the blockchain ecosystem. In general, we are committed to building a comprehensive Web3 ecological platform, making the OKX Web3 mobile wallet the preferred platform for users to explore and participate in the Web3 world.

How do you view the development trend of crypto wallets?

OKX Web3:It is often mentioned that the Web3 world does not have super applications like WeChat and Alipay in Web2, but in fact, multiple projects are moving in this direction, gradually integrating various functions so that users can participate in all aspects of the Web3 ecosystem through one platform. Although the decentralized nature of Web3 makes it difficult for a single "super application" to completely replicate the Web2 model, some platforms are exploring this concept and gradually forming a Web3 version of the super application prototype by aggregating multiple services and tools.

Among them, encrypted mobile wallets have the potential to become "Web3 super applications". The core reason is that as the key entrance to the decentralized world, it has realized multiple core functions such as one-stop solutions, mobile experience anytime, anywhere, multi-chain support and cross-chain interoperability, and DeFi core hubs, which can meet the extensive needs of users in the Web3 ecosystem. This all-round functional integration and convenience give it great potential to become a "Web3 super application".

With the continuous innovation of technology and the expansion of daily applications, mobile wallets will become simpler and more practical, pushing the user scale to new heights.
