Empowering Security and Self-Custody with WebAuth on Metal X

Empowering Security and Self-Custody with WebAuth on Metal X

The WebAuth Wallet, an essential component of Metal X, represents an advanced crypto wallet that grants users the power of self-custody. Within this wallet, users seamlessly access and engage with a diverse array of decentralized applications (dApps), such as Metal X, spanning the XPR Network, Metal Blockchain, and soon other blockchain, all while benefiting from the convenience and security of Web Authentication.

What sets the WebAuth Wallet apart is its transformative ability to turn any mobile device (whether it's running Android or iOS), tablet, or computer into a fully functional equivalent of a traditional cryptocurrency hardware wallet. This remarkable feat is achieved through the utilization of the Secure Enclave, ensuring the utmost security and control over your digital assets.

Once you’ve set up your account, you can then sign transactions using your biometrics including via the iPhone’s FaceID, TouchID or the Fingerprint sensor on an Android. WebAuth Web even supports the full range of YubiKeys allowing you to securely sign transactions instantly on any device.

Self Custody on Webauth

When you create a WebAuth Wallet account, you are given ownership of the private keys associated with your cryptocurrency holdings. Private keys are the cryptographic keys that grant access to and control over your digital assets on the blockchain. With self-custody, you, and only you, have control over these keys. This means that your assets are not held or managed by a centralized entity, reducing the risk of hacking or unauthorized access to your funds.
