Aptos Connect is a web wallet secured via your Google or Apple account, utilizing zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for enhanced security. Here’s what makes it unique:
- No MPC, No Custodians: Aptos Connect ensures full decentralization. Your account is entirely under your control—no custodians or multi-party computation (MPC) are involved.
- Your Blockchain Account = Your Google Account: Your blockchain account is seamlessly linked to your Google or Apple credentials, simplifying access without compromising security.
- Optional Second Factor (2FA): You can add an additional layer of security, either for recovery purposes only or for authorizing transactions as well.
- Pay Link Support: Aptos Connect allows you to create pay links. By design, these links are all you need to claim a payment. While stronger security options could be implemented, they would come at the cost of user experience (UX).
User-Centric Approach
With Aptos Keyless, simplicity is key. Your blockchain account is integrated with your Google account—nothing more, nothing less. This approach targets 90% of cryptocurrency users by prioritizing ease of access.
Adding restrictions might enhance security but would degrade UX. Aptos Connect focuses on seamless, cross-device access to ensure users can effortlessly manage their blockchain accounts.
