It's crazy how in a couple of years we've went to, you know, to like very junior developers integrating complex products and how you as a provider of infrastructure need to make sure to have like the most comprehensive and trained LLM of a specific product so that whenever they interact with, you know, a query or a question about your product, you get the best result.

That's kind of like the new North Star metric for most of solutions engineer or like people that are focusing on that aspect.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
I think that's a very important shift we've seen.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
In two, three years time, I mean, for sure, like for sure, it just kept getting better and better, right?
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
Yes.

And so, you know, a year ago, you couldn't build a product with one prompt.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
Now you can build a website with one prompt and almost like a fully fledged front end and back end with one prompt.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
I think that in two or three years time, we would probably have platforms that are able to integrate multiple providers in one prompt.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
What I mean by that is if like a good enough prompt will give you a good authentication with a better off super base, et cetera, a good wallet infrastructure provider with open forward, a good indexing solution with Dune, et cetera, et cetera.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
And the opportunity would be for those providers to position themselves as like a good recommendation solution for these LLMs.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, it's been through outreaching people, making a good product and ease integration for those people.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
And then these people being satisfied enough so that they want to talk about you with, you know, their peers.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
That has been, you know, what worked for us the most.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
Obviously, within this strategy, there's always niche opportunities.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
Yes.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
So for instance, there's a lot of competition with like major blockchains.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
There's less competition with like niche blockchains that perhaps are not that well supported by other developer tooling.
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 you need to identify those and then, you know, make a good enough support integration so that these chains are also recommending you.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
For example, this has been like, I mean, I think like different providers have like different strategies there and each to its own, it works.
Web3 with Sam Kamani
349: Inside Openfort: Fixing Wallets, Crypto UX and Privacy, and the Road to 2026 with Guest Speaker Joan Alavedra
Yeah, I mean, we, so OpenFort has like the key, the key value proposition for OpenFort is that it supports OpenSigner, which is self-host implementation of wallet key management.
