Session: Unlocking 1 Billion Users With Custodial Wallets
summary
Claims that custodial wallets let games scale toward 1 billion users by removing the wallet wall and onboarding wallets behind the scenes via simple REST APIs. Demonstrates Stardust’s flow: three lines of code to mint an NFT, server-side APIs to create wallets, mint/burn/transfer, and a withdrawal API that posts on-chain to a whitelisted non‑custodial address. Runs on Polygon/Avalanche/Solana and EVMs, uses Vaults with zero‑knowledge key storage so private keys never leave the system, and stresses faster, flexible, secure integration.
