We’re excited to partner with AvaCloud to bring our full suite of web3 tools to developers on every Avalanche Subnet.

Developers will now be able to easily deploy high-performance blockchain infrastructure on Avalanche with just a few clicks, with our full web3 development toolkit compatible out-of-the box.

Avalanche’s performant, secure, & low-cost blockchains (or Subnets) will enable any Web3 app or game to auto-scale — and AvaCloud bundles this all-in-one expertly managed blockchain service.

thirdweb’s integration into AvaCloud enables anyone to build comprehensive apps with tools for Wallets, Payments, Contracts, and Infrastructure — while also running customizable blockchains stress-free.

Creating the most performant web3 experience, from infrastructure to apps

AvaCloud brings Avalanche Subnets to market quickly and with minimal stress. Subnets address key pain points impacting other blockchain scaling solutions.

Avalanche Subnets enable anyone to:

• Launch independent blockchains that maintain their own security

• Leverage all of the tooling & the novel consensus protocol powering Avalanche

• Run apps with **ultra-fast transaction speeds **on dedicated blockchains as apps do not have to compete with each other for infrastructure resources

All of this is powered by our full web3 product suite to build any app or game.

Launching a new blockchain means developers have to start from scratch as they don’t benefit from developer tools and infrastructure available on the newly launched blockchain. All tooling must be integrated into the new blockchain for any developer to be able to use within their workflows.

thirdweb’s integration into AvaCloud finally enables anyone to build comprehensive apps, while also running customizable blockchains stress-free.

With thirdweb, developers will be able to build user-friendly wallets, deploy smart contracts, and more.

• **Easily Onboard Users with Customizable Wallets: **Upgrade your users’ onboarding experience from fully customizable Connect Wallet modals to flexible login options, including email, social, and more.

• **Deploy Any Smart Contract with One-Click: **Choose from a full suite of pre-built, audited smart contracts for every use case, including NFTs, tokens, staking, loot boxes, marketplaces, and more. Or, build your own custom contracts using thirdweb’s SDKs.

• **Quickly Build Applications: **To date, over 100,000 developers have built their solutions using thirdweb, featuring over 300,000 deployed smart contracts. Everything you need to maximize your app’s performance and capabilities is readily available.

We're excited to announce that 15+ developers and studios are already building with thirdweb and AvaCloud's solution today.

Wallets are a user’s key to the blockchain — allowing anyone to own their digital assets, interact with decentralized applications, and unlock access to a global onchain economy.

But the wallet experience of today is broken & complicated, posing a number of challenges:

1. For a new user to interact with the blockchain, they must: create a wallet, store their private keys securely, purchase & transfer funds, pay gas fees, and sign every action they take on a dApp. These steps are huge obstacles for new crypto users, and prevent a smooth onboarding experience (and thus, mass adoption) for most web3 apps.

2. Having full control over a web3 wallet (and the private keys associated) is important for more experienced users — but non-custodial wallets have limited functionality.

3. Developers lack the tools to provide users with great web3 wallet experiences — tailored to their applications.

Our brand new web3 wallet toolkit is designed to address each of these issues — empowering developers to create best-in-class wallet experiences for any use case imaginable.

Let’s break down everything that thirdweb’s Wallet SDK unlocks for developers today.

Introducing the complete web3 wallet stack

We’re launching our Wallet SDK with a suite of composable tools that can be used separately, or combined together to 10x your app’s UX.

Here’s everything it includes today — out of the box & for free:

• Smart Wallets (ERC-4337): Build smart contract wallets for your application with ERC-4337 compliance, full customizability, and advanced features — like wallet recovery, signless transactions, & auto-generated wallets for new users.

• Local Wallets: Unlock the most flexible solution to building fully-featured wallet experiences — including session wallets, device wallets, MPC, and more.

• Connect Wallet V2: Add the power of web3 to any app with our Connect Wallet UI component — with cross-platform support (Web, Mobile, Unity), compatibility with 700+ EVM chains, and smart & local wallet integration.

• Connectors for Any Wallet: Use our connectors to integrate 170+ wallet providers into any app — including non-custodial wallets (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Wallet Connect), email wallets, local wallets, & native Safe integration.

• Guest Mode: Onboard new users to any dApp in seconds, allowing them to Continue as guest — at the press of a button or through a username-and-password flow — and automatically creating a wallet for them under the hood.

Our Wallet SDK is also designed with full composability in mind: you can use all of our tools as a turnkey out-of-the-box solution, or integrate your own wallet providers & solutions with whatever you need in our stack — from UI components, to connectors, to providers.

Smart contract wallets with full ERC-4337 compliance, for any use case imaginable

Different types of apps require different wallet experiences — and with the recent introduction of ERC-4337 on Ethereum, smart wallets are changing the game & paving the way for a better web3 user experience.

With full ERC-4337 compliance & account abstraction infrastructure, thirdweb’s tools allow you to build fully-featured, customizable, and programmable smart contract wallets — unlocking transformative use cases such as:

• Auto-generated wallets: Create new non-custodial wallets for your users when they sign up for your app, website, or game automatically.

• Recoverable wallets: Simplify account management and enhance security for users by creating wallets that don’t require externally owned accounts (EOAs), private keys, or seed phrases.

• Transaction batching: Execute multiple transactions at once to create delightful user experiences, like shopping cart & checkout flows, while also saving on gas

• Team wallets: Enable seamless on-chain collaboration for your organization with shared wallets — with multiple users and tiered permissions for each member.

• Custom transactions: Enable signless transactions, set transaction limits, block certain transactions, and more. Allow users to pay with their preferred ERC-20 tokens.

• Gas upgrades: Cover users’ gas fees for NFT mints, airdrop claims, and any other dApp experience.

Developers can build their own smart contract wallets easily using thirdweb’s Solidity SDK, which includes 3 base smart contracts to get started with:

1. Simple: Immutable smart accounts that can’t be altered once deployed.

2. Managed: Wallet group admins can add, remove, or modify functionality in their wallet solution for their users through smart contract extensions.

3. Dynamic: Individual wallet admins can choose to add, remove, or modify their wallet’s functionality, without the ability for wallet group admins to change it for them.

These contracts are built using thirdweb’s dynamic smart contracts standard, which makes them upgradeable & allows for functionality to be added over time — with full ERC-4337 compliance, account abstraction support (bundlers & paymasters), and compatibility with any EVM chain. Start building with any of them in Explore.

Our smart contract wallets also include native integration with our dashboard, which is automatically generated once you’ve deployed a contract — providing you with tools to build on top of your smart contracts.

Local wallets: The most flexible, advanced, universal solution to building fully-featured wallet experiences

Unlock the most flexible, advanced, & universal solution to build custom fully-featured wallet experiences with thirdweb’s new Local Wallet solution — which developers can use to create wallets for users that are tied to their devices and can be exported at a later date.

This enables powerful use cases such as:

• Guest mode: Onboard users in seconds by enabling them to Continue as guest and automatically generating a wallet for them under the hood — or allowing them to log in with a familiar username-and-password flow.

• Invisible wallet experiences: Combined with signless & gasless transactions, Local Wallets create an invisible wallet experience — allowing users to interact with your app or game without any disruptive transaction pop-ups.

• Temporary wallets that can be “upgraded” to EOAs: Users can export their local wallets to an EOA provider, like Coinbase Wallet or MetaMask, once they’ve become more comfortable with the blockchain.

• Simple password flow: Users can log in to any app & get access to their local wallets with the same username-and-password experience they’d have on any web2 application.

• Secure wallet management: Flows for importing & exporting keys, saving them to secure storage, and private key recovery — built into thirdweb’s React & React Native SDKs.

And the best part about Local Wallets? They’re non-custodial — meaning that users maintain full control over their digital assets, and can do whatever they want with them.

Continue as Guest flows with automatically-generated local wallets

Most people don’t care about the wallet experience: they want to own their digital assets, interact with decentralized apps, & gain access to a global onchain economy.

At thirdweb, we share a lot of the sentiment with sylve.eth’s blog post, titled Wallets must be invisible:

Consider Gmail. It’s a fantastic piece of software. People want to use Gmail. Turns out that, to use Gmail you need to create a Google account. Do people want to own a Google account? No. They want to use Gmail.

You log in on Gmail, create an account, and you get going. Then you figure out you need a text editor, a spreadsheet, and (magic 🪄) your Google account works on Google Docs and Google Sheets! Huzzah!

So we built a Continue as guest solution, enabling developers to onboard users to dApps in seconds & creating wallets for their users under the hood — through two primary flows:

1. A user clicks “Continue as guest” and a wallet is created for them, which they can then save (or tie to their device) by setting a password & exporting it

2. A user signs in with a simple username-and-password flow and a wallet is created for them — tied to the user’s device & saved to the app for when they come back.

For the last 20 years, hosting long-form written content online required using a Web2 platform with a centralised server. This meant that your content could be subject to censorship or outright removal by a third party.

Mirror introduced a new paradigm - Content which is posted permissionlessly and hosted on a decentralised network: This means that nobody can censor or remove the content from the storage layer, preserving your content permanently.

At thirdweb we’re passionate about accelerating the development of decentralised internet products which empower creators. It was therefore incredibly affirming of our mission to see Mirror build ‘Subscribe to Mint’ using our tools, and in this piece we’re going to break down exactly how they did it.

Learn about what’s under the hood & read along to claim thirdweb’s Genesis NFT on Mirror.

What is Subscribe to Mint?

Mirror’s ‘Subscribe to Mint’ lets publishers supercharge their growth by offering NFTs to readers who subscribe. The drops can be used to celebrate milestones or support wider media campaigns which the publisher may be running.

‘Subscribe to Mint’ works like an open edition drop, but with a Mirror-native twist. In order to mint, a collector needs to subscribe to your project via email. It's a powerful way for creators to bootstrap a communication channel to engage collectors on a recurring basis.

Here are some of the most exciting ‘Mint to Subscribe’ drops on Mirror so far, ranging from some of the largest projects in crypto to independent creators:

• Base & Optimism Collaboration drop

• Mirror’s Subscribe to Mint Launch drop

• Zerion Subscriber OGs drop

• Safe Stone - Subscriber Edition drop

• Optimism’s 2022 Year in Review drop

• Café JPG Genesis Pass drop

• UFO’s Genesis Pass drop

• OurNetwork’s first Members Club drop

• W1nt3r.eth early supporter drop

thirdweb’s signature-based minting allows Mirror to offer NFTs exclusively to subscribers.

Mirror used the signature-based minting solution to provide a way for publishers to offer NFTs exclusively to subscribers. Signature-based minting allows the platform to verify in real-time and on a user-by-user basis whether a particular wallet can mint the NFT. Since these NFTs are only available to subscribers of the publication, it requires checking the subscription status of the wallet at the moment the user is trying to claim.

How does signature-based minting work?

1. Wallet A generates a signature for a token (specifying name, image, description, properties, and minter address).

2. Wallet B can use the signature provided by Wallet A to mint the NFT.

Publishers then grant signatures for specific wallets to mint tokens with properties they specify in their contract.

Signature-based minting ultimately allows you (the admin wallet) to generate signatures that allow other users to mint tokens on your smart contract.

Mint our first NFT on mirror.

To celebrate the launch of this feature, we’re giving you the opportunity to mint our genesis NFT on Mirror for free (Just pay gas.)

This also marks the launch of our Mirror publication, where we’ll be sharing insights directly from our engineering team into how we’re pushing the Web3 development space forward.

The NFT is minted on Ethereum Mainnet, and you can view the contract here.

Building a better Web3.

At the heart of its efforts, Mirror has been creating more than just a new form of patronage, but a way to build community around a creator’s ideas from the bottom-up. ‘Mint to Subscribe’ is the next iteration of this goal. By taking subscriptions a step further and centering them on a web3 wallet, publishers can create meaningful social and economic links between their audience and project.
