The pioneering team at Sons of Crypto Lab (SoC) have been working tirelessly on their mission to accelerate the development of Web3 and become the embodiment of crypto ideals.
Working closely with their community is at the core of SoC’s philosophy. They’d therefore like to “thank you for your continued support”.
They have achieved a lot over the past few months, having been fully focused on delivering on Phase #1 of their roadmap.
Let’s take a look at some of the major milestones reached during this phase:
Mobile [open-source] Web3 library
This is the first of its kind, paving the way for projects looking to build on mobile. Its ultimate purpose is to aid [mass] adoption of Web3. It is also:
MIT Licensed (Industry standard)
Cross-platform (iOS, Android etc.)
Multi-Chain (ETH, BTC, BSC etc.)
Web3-Wallet 1.0 (Currently in Beta)
The wallet pushes the boundaries of modern app design, whilst connecting you directly to Web3 and smart contracts (not via centralised Web2 gateways).
Web3-Wallet boasts a whole host of features already, including:
Create / import / verify mnemonics
Send transactions & NFTs
Display transaction history & market data/charts
Support for multiple chains
Multiple themes
Uniswap integration
CULT.DAO integration (submitting proposals / voting etc.)
Improvement proposals voting feature

They continue to add functionality with every iteration and have now produced the 22nd iteration of 1.0 (at time of writing).
As they approach the end of Phase #1 of their roadmap, SoC should feel immensely proud of the progress they’ve made so far. However, they are not stopping there! Enter Phase 2 of their roadmap.

Now that the Web3-Wallet beta is out, let’s take a look at some of the improvements they plan to make going forward. There are three main areas of focus for this phase of development:
1. Continuing to iterate on and improve the core Web3-Wallet experience.
This is part of their ‘vertical’ growth plan. Current infrastructure & feature improvement proposals include:
2. Developing and releasing both Android & Browser-extension (mobile & desktop) versions.
This is part of their ‘horizontal’ growth plan. The success of the beta iOS version shows great promise for what we can expect on other platforms.
3. Pushing forward with additional integrations of dApps and Chains.
This is also part of their ‘vertical’ growth plan.
You can't really claim to have native support for DeFi if you don’t support the most popular products. Their proposed integrations are the stars of the show and the highlight of phase 2, and so warrant further elaboration.
They cover every popular category of DeFi / Web3. Virtually all of the dApps they plan to integrate are considered blue-chips on Ethereum, having earned the complete trust of their respective communities. Further reasons for choosing them include:
They are the most battle-tested and secure, having survived the crashes and hacks that took place over past year relatively unscathed.
They’re all actually decentralized DAOs.
Most, if not all, already have an ecosystem grants program.
They have a large user base who are likely interested in the mobile versions of the product.
Users of those products are arguably more likely to understand our mission, values and degen ways. They therefore represent our core target audience.
SoC believe that, ‘by their close association, they might initially garner some of the respect these dApp/protocols have rightfully earned, then eventually, through the delivery of exceptional solutions to traditional problems, earn that respect in their own right.’
What sets SoC apart is that they’re looking to achieve deep integration, where they include all the different aspects and functionality of the dApp / protocol / chain. For instance, there are some apps that integrate Uniswap swaps only, yet Uniswap also offers staking and yield farming. Not to mention that virtually all DAOs (Uniswap included) typically have a smart-contract governance system, which don’t yet appear to be supported natively in wallets. We know of no other wallet that offers such comprehensive integrations, and SoC aim to win the hearts and minds of the respective communities in doing so.
They eventually want native support for as many dApps and chains as possible, which is why they will never stop adding new integrations. Nonetheless, they believe this is a great selection to start with.
Current proposed integrations include:
The continuous improvements and developments made by SoC, shows dedication to their already strong and loyal community. Their tenacity is both fierce and infectious.
It’s important to note, that all of this is subject to change and proposals are in no particular order in terms of priority. You can comment on proposals on GitHub, as well as vote on them in their Web3-Wallet improvement proposal section, found on the ‘actions dashboard’ or via settings. Ultimately, what they prioritise is left to users discretion. Decentralisation is at the core of what they do!
Finally, let’s discuss their growth and marketing strategy. As mentioned in our previous article, the marketing game is changing and content driven strategies that nurture strong communities to grow with, seem to be a much more effective approach to take now. SoC have adopted this content marketing strategy and plan to ‘constantly create interesting, educational and entertaining content on at least a bi-weekly basis’.
They also plan to ‘collaborate and cross-promote with all the dApps and chains they integrate, through co-hosted Twitter spaces, podcasts, tweets or articles’, allowing industry leaders and community members alike to participate, learn & grow with them. Not only this, they have plans to produce a new Web3 trenches diary every two weeks, ‘where their audience can follow them along on their Web3 journey’.
They might not have the budget at this stage to spend on Google, FB ads etc. BUT they do have you. (the ‘Gang Gang’). They also have great connections to some real and relevant heavyweights in the crypto space. They want to foster and grow all of these relationships and ultimately, win the hearts and minds of crypto natives.
At the heart of everything Sons of Crypto Lab do, lies their mantra... ‘By Degens For Degens’. Web3-Wallet is truly built around its users, and SoC’s commitment to this is beautifully refreshing.
