Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

You know, whenever you look at the lifecycle of like a developer exploring solutions, not only like in embedded wallets, but like in general for like a technology or like software solutions, the first level is having the discussion of whether you build it or you buy it.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra

And so some of the teams that we work have, you know, have had this question and we help them navigate the reasons of like why they should buy this type of solutions instead of like building it.
