  3. The Path Forward: Simplification at the Custody Level

  4. Despite significant investment and real technical advancements, today’s crypto custody solutions remain anchored in the past, particularly in 2021. Issues with security and usability continue to persist.

    Modern Solutions and Their Shortcomings

    Several companies like Web3Auth and Argent are trying to make crypto custody more convenient and secure. However, despite significant efforts, issues remain. Many users are still dissatisfied with the complexity of managing private keys and ensuring transaction security.

    Lack of Usability

    Traditional financial systems offer a higher level of convenience and protection. In the crypto world, such familiar mechanisms like password recovery and fraud protection are absent. This leads to users frequently facing difficulties in using cryptocurrencies. As a result, cryptos are more often used in gambling rather than as an alternative to traditional financial instruments.

    The Path Forward: Simplification at the Custody Level

    While there have been specific advancements in user protection in recent years with projects like Rabby and Metamask, key management issues persist. The need to change Ethereum’s infrastructure complicates the implementation of new solutions. However, the industry is moving in the right direction with the emergence of new apps and improvements in the user experience.

    The crypto custody industry is undergoing gradual evolution. The emergence of more convenient and secure solutions at the custody level will help build user trust and promote further growth in the use of cryptocurrencies.
