Walletless onboarding for web3 apps – convert visitors to users via email in seconds.
Solo web3 founders can't acquire or retain users due to high crypto wallet friction and non-crypto users refusing to onboard.
ZapOnboard provides embeddable widgets that let non-crypto users sign up and interact with your web3 project using just email magic links, creating proxy wallets in the background. Founders embed a simple script, and users perform actions like minting or voting without wallet friction. Retention boosts via email reminders and seamless wallet upgrade paths.
