Visa seeks blockchain and crypto developers for ambitious project

Visa seeks blockchain and cryptocurrency developers to join their team for an ambitious project.

Cuy Sheffield, VP and Head of Cryptocurrencies at Visa, posted on Twitter about the job openings and said that the positions would help drive the widespread adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies.

Visa is explicitly looking for engineers with experience using advanced AI-assisted engineering tools, such as Github Copilot, to develop and debug smart contracts.

The ideal candidate should also have experience with testing frameworks like Truffle, Mocha, and Hardhat. They should have:

  • a good understanding of L1 and L2 solutions;
  • a working knowledge of writing smart contracts using Solidity;
  • an understanding of distributed ledger technology, security protocols, and the latest standard for Ethereum accounts, ERC-4337.

Earlier, Visa has been exploring converting digital assets into fiat payments and working with ecosystem companies to provide fiat on-ramp and off-ramp.

The company’s view on the potential of cryptocurrencies has not changed, and they continue to hire experienced crypto developers to drive mainstream adoption of public blockchain networks and stablecoin payments.

Portkey presents a revolutionary CA wallet with a social recovery mechanism for Web3

At Consensus 2023, Portkey showcased its Contract Account (CA) wallet, which provides users with a decentralized identity (DID) solution without any fees. Portkey aims to lower the entry threshold for Web2 users and projects to enter Web3 with its all-in-one features.

Steven, CTO of Portkey, noted that the lack of a proper Web3 wallet is one of the biggest obstacles to entry for Web2 users. Therefore, the company created a solution that boasts the following features:

  • The social recovery mechanism of Portkey’s CA wallet, which is the key to tackling usability, security, and self-custody issues that currently plague Web3 wallets.
  • User accounts are coded in smart contracts, and private keys are decoupled to enhance user-friendliness.
  • The verification process is decentralized and ensures total self-custody, while users can choose multiple guardians to increase wallet security.
  • Portkey’s CA wallet offers seamless DID and social recovery processes and is much cheaper than other CA wallets.

With its many benefits, Portkey can potentially lead the migration from Web2 to Web3.

Trust Wallet & Web3Auth partner to enhance Web3 onboarding and security

Trust Wallet, one of the most extensive self-custodial and multi-chain wallets, has partnered with Web3Auth to simplify Web3 onboarding with social logins. This collaboration lets users access Web3 services using their existing social login credentials and other security factors.

The Multi-Party Computation (MPC) solution offered by Trust Wallet is designed to enhance the safety and security of user accounts by eliminating the need for written seed phrases.

In a new partnership, users can now access Trust Wallet’s services using their existing Google, Apple, Telegram, and Discord accounts, making it easier for new users to enter the world of Web3.

The partnership aims to improve the user experience and accelerate the mass adoption of Web3.

Two-Factor Wallets, which Web3Auth’s CEO sees as crucial to crypto security, are a significant step towards more excellent protection in the industry.

MetaMask’s guide on Account Abstraction

MetaMask, the popular Ethereum wallet, has published its own guide on account abstraction, a proposal to improve user interaction with Ethereum. The guide, which covers the history, present, and future of account abstraction, seeks to clarify the topic for unfamiliar users.

The guide explains how account abstraction enhances the versatility of managing and controlling Ethereum accounts. To achieve this, the proposal introduces specialized smart contracts called account contracts, which define and manage Ethereum accounts, now called smart accounts.

With the adoption of AA, users can utilize smart contract wallets to gain programmable access to their funds instead of relying solely on private keys for security.

This new approach empowers users with enhanced flexibility and control over their funds and makes it easier to interact with decentralized applications on the Ethereum network.

In turn, MetaMask supports adopting account abstraction through its permissionless innovation platform, MetaMask Snaps. The guide also highlights the need to make Web3 more user-friendly to incentivize people to switch from the Web2 apps they use daily.
