Users creating their first blockchain wallet is a huge barrier to entry when it comes to mainstream adoption. We're solving that #onFlow with a process we're calling walletless onboarding.

We're introducing a solution that can deliver the benefits of both app and self custody to people onboarding into web3 for the first time; hybrid custody. This leverages child (app) and parent (self-custody) accounts to manage account delegation.

Check out our introduction to walletless onboarding #onFlow: https://flow.com/post/flow-blockchain-mainstream-adoption-easy-onboarding-wallets
