Wallets 3.0: How will the next generation of web3 wallets look?
summary
Wallet history compresses into keystore beginnings (MyEtherWallet, Parity), browser injection (MetaMask), mobile multi‑chain (Coinbase Wallet) and account‑abstraction modules that enable session keys and embedded wallets (Privy, Dynamic). The claim: wallets become a user‑owned, privacy‑preserving open context layer that encrypts AI memory, exposes granular reusable persona contexts (research, entertainment, work) and interoperates across agents via standards like MCP. Expected builds: wallet‑encrypted context buckets, agent wallets, and fine‑grained, revocable access controls.
