Sui Network launches Google, Twitch and Facebook logins for DApps
cointelegraph.comLayer-one blockchain Sui Network has taken a step towards simplifying Web3 onboarding, allowing users to sign up for Sui-powered apps without having to manage an external crypto wallet or seed phrase.
In a Sept. 13 press release the Sui Foundation shared that users would be able to login into decentralized applications (DApps) by using Google, Facebook, and Twitch login details via a new zkLogin (Zero Knowledge login) feature.
Instead of dealing with pesky Web3 wallets, users can log in the same way they’re used to on other areas of the internet.
“By enabling users to access dApps with the social logins they have grown comfortable using, zkLogin removes a major hurdle for bringing the benefits of blockchain-based applications to billions of mainstream users,” said Sui Foundation managing director, Greg Siourounis.
Onboarding has long been a pain point for the blockchain industry, with users both new and experienced, complaining of a wide range usability issues — including the need to sign for transactions, maintain seed phrases and provide long strings of incomprehensible information to use certain DApps.
In a statement Adeniyi Abiodun, the co-founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, made note of this concern.
The Sui Foundation explained that the zkLogin feature allows users to benefit from the privacy and ownership preserving features of blockchain-based applications without having to sacrifice on security.
Zero knowledge proof technology works by allowing one party to prove the truth of a certain assertion without revealing any information beyond the simple fact that the assertion is in fact true.
However, the Sui Foundation hasn’ been alone in breaking down the barriers to wider Web3 adoption.
