We're excited to announce that ZoroSwap now supports Para as a wallet option alongside the Miden browser extension wallet!

This integration makes ZoroSwap accessible to a much wider audience: you can now sign in with your email, Google, Twitter, or Telegram account and start swapping on Miden within seconds.

Self-custodial wallets (like the Miden browser extension) give you full control over your private keys. That is a powerful guarantee, but it comes with real trade-offs:

• Seed phrases are a liability. You must write down and securely store a seed phrase. Lose it, and your funds are gone forever. Store it carelessly, and anyone who finds it has full access to your assets.

• You are locked to a single device. Your wallet lives in your browser extension on one specific machine. Want to swap from your laptop at home and your desktop at work? You need to manage the extension and your seed phrase across each device.

• The onboarding is steep. For users coming from traditional finance or Web2 apps, installing a browser extension, generating keys, and backing up a seed phrase is an intimidating first experience.

These are not hypothetical concerns. Poor key management is one of the leading causes of lost funds in crypto. And onboarding friction is one of the main reasons people never try DeFi at all.

Para takes a fundamentally different approach to key management using distributed Multi-Party Computation (MPC). Instead of generating a single private key and placing the entire burden of securing it on you, Para splits key material into multiple key shares that are distributed across separate parties:

1. One share is stored in your device's secure enclave, protected by a passkey tied to your biometrics or device PIN.

2. One share is held by Para's infrastructure.

3. One share is an encrypted recovery share, generated during setup.

A transaction can only be signed when multiple shares collaborate through a cryptographic signing protocol. No single share is ever sufficient on its own.

This is the critical question, and the answer lies in the MPC architecture: Para only ever holds one key share. That single share is mathematically useless without your device share. Para cannot reconstruct your full private key, cannot sign transactions on your behalf, and cannot move your funds. Even in a worst-case scenario where Para's servers were compromised, an attacker would only obtain one share, which reveals nothing about your actual private key.

This is not a custodial wallet where you trust a company to hold your keys. It is a non-custodial design where control is split so that only you can authorize transactions, but you do not carry the full burden of securing a single secret.

With a traditional self-custodial wallet, moving to a new device means exporting your seed phrase and importing it elsewhere, a process that is both inconvenient and risky. Para solves this through passkeys.

When you sign up with Para, your key share is tied to a passkey stored in your device's secure hardware enclave. Modern operating systems (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows) can sync passkeys securely across your devices through your platform account (e.g., iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager). This means:

• You can log into ZoroSwap from your phone, your laptop, or any other device where your passkeys are available.

• Your key share travels with you seamlessly, without you ever having to copy, export, or manually transfer any secret material.

• The key share never leaves the secure enclave in plaintext. It is protected by your biometric authentication (Face ID, fingerprint, etc.) or device PIN at every step.

What if you are on a device that doesn't have your passkey? This can happen when your passkeys haven't synced. For example, if you are switching between Apple and Android ecosystems, or logging in from a friend's computer. In that case, Para utilizes the recovery secret that was generated in the initial wallet setup. Para itself does not store this secret. If you ever need to access your wallet from a device where your passkey is not available, you can use that recovery secret to initiate recovery through Para, verify your identity via two-factor authentication, and register a new passkey on the new device.

The result: you get the convenience of accessing your wallet from any device, without compromising on security and without ever exposing a seed phrase.

When you connect to ZoroSwap, you now see two options:

• Miden Wallet: the Chrome browser extension for users who prefer traditional self-custody.

• Para Wallet: email or social login for users who want a seamless experience without managing extensions or seed phrases.

Both options give you full access to ZoroSwap's features. Para wallet users also get a built-in note claiming flow that handles Miden's UTXO-based transaction outputs through a simple UI action.

1. Head to app.zoroswap.com.

2. Click Connect Wallet.

3. Select Para Wallet.

4. Sign in with your email, Google, Twitter, or Telegram account.

5. Start swapping.

No extensions. No seed phrases. No compromise on security.

ZoroSwap is a DEX built on Miden, a zero-knowledge rollup that brings privacy and scalability to Ethereum. Para's embedded wallet infrastructure is a natural fit for Miden's vision of making privacy-preserving DeFi accessible to everyone. Learn more about the Miden x Para integration on the Miden blog.
