Building CyberWallet: Challenges and its Future

Web3 Tokyo 2023

Welcome to the [CyberWallet Beta Launch Program](http://wallet.cyber.co/rewards).

Over the past two years, the team behind CyberWallet has been at the forefront of building and growing consumer crypto infrastructure and applications. During this time, over 50 teams have built web3 applications utilizing the CyberConnect social network protocol and have cumulatively registered 1.2M+ users, creating 1.9M+ units of social content and 6M+ connections.

On this journey of bringing web3 to the world, we encountered that user onboarding presented a critical bottleneck in building robust, scalable crypto consumer products. For that reason, [in August](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/2e0c673ccbc2e07af0f17ebbf54fe5db23322626fc5e2ef1ea6ab4d91c61ba1d) we introduced CyberWallet, an ERC-4337 smart account. We’re grateful for the support of our community and the entire web3 fraternity, for giving us critical feedback to improve on that first version of CyberWallet. In the past 3 months, we deployed over [650,000 smart accounts](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) on Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Base among other top blockchain networks. That accounts for over 40% of all the smart accounts across all blockchains.

Today, we’re thrilled to officially launch the [CyberWallet Beta Launch Program](https://wallet.cyber.co/rewards) to welcome our community to help us test and improve several new features as they are rolled out widely and publicly in the coming months. The key highlight of this program is [CyberApps](http://wallet.cyber.co/apps), a digital marketplace of premier web3 apps that are ready to use with account abstraction. Starting today, until **Dec 21, 2023**, whitelisted users for the CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access] will be able to use CyberApps within your CyberWallet web app and earn points that will be redeemable for CYBER token rewards at the end of the season.

### CyberWallet: What’s New?

As the blockchain and Web3 applications landscape continues to evolve, gas management across different ecosystems is becoming more of a hassle. That’s why we are excited to introduce **SmartGas**, an all-new gas balance system that redefines how users manage gas fees across multiple blockchains. With SmartGas, [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co) provides unparalleled convenience, cost-effectiveness, and security in your digital asset management.

### **What is SmartGas?**

SmartGas is the latest new feature within [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co), an ERC-4337 smart account, most suitable for a web3 citizen who uses a number Web3 applications across different blockchains. It empowers users to use a variety of tokens from different chains as gas, effectively breaking the barriers between blockchain networks.

**Key Features**

1. **Multi-Chain Convenience:** Perhaps the most striking feature of SmartGas is its ability to let users deposit native tokens from any chain* to pay for gas fees on another blockchain. For instance, one could deposit MATIC from Polygon into their SmartGas balance, which will then be reflected in its USD value at the time of deposit. That SmartGas balance can now be used for gas payment for a transaction on the Ethereum-based Optimism network. While you focus on your web3 experience, let CyberWallet handle the currency conversion.

2. **Eliminating Swap Fees:** Traditionally, converting tokens between different chains incurs significant swap fees. SmartGas eliminates this need, allowing users to maintain their assets in their original form while still enabling cross-chain functionality. This feature is not only cost-effective but also time-efficient, streamlining the process of managing different tokens.
Soon, with CyberWallet, users will be able to enable customizable security features like transaction limits, passkeys, etc.

3. **Enhanced Security:** One of the inherent risks in cryptocurrency and token management is security, especially in hot wallets. SmartGas offers additional security by having your CyberWallet manage the gas fee payments and your EOA (MetaMask etc.) simply be a depositor. Soon, with CyberWallet, users will be able to enable customizable security features like transaction limits, passkeys, etc.

### **Why SmartGas is a Game-Changer**

SmartGas addresses several pain points in the current blockchain ecosystem:

- It simplifies the process of managing gas fees across different blockchains.
- Reduces the cost and complexity of token management.
- Provides a secure and user-friendly platform for managing digital assets.

In essence, SmartGas is not just a feature; it's a step towards a more integrated, efficient, and user-centric blockchain ecosystem.

Whether you are a casual user or a blockchain enthusiast, SmartGas is poised to enhance your Web3 experience significantly.

Stay tuned for more updates and dive into the future of blockchain transactions with SmartGas and CyberWallet.

2023 has undoubtedly been the year of account abstraction. Even though the concept is nowhere new, with [early discussions](https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/07/05/on-abstraction) dating back to the beginning days of Ethereum, the industry made its [biggest leap this year](https://sixdegree.xyz/research/Half-Year-Data-Report-of-ERC4337-by-Sixdegree.pdf) in bringing working smart contract wallets to hundreds of thousands of users.

Our team at CyberConnect has been at the forefront of building and growing consumer crypto applications. Here, we’re taking a new perspective on social media, building towards a decentralized future where users exercise complete ownership and control over their social data, while developers can innovate permissionlessly. In almost three years, over 50 teams have built web3 applications utilizing the CyberConnect social network protocol, and have cumulatively registered [1.2M+ users](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberconnect-link3-metrics), creating 1.9M+ units of social content. In the past 4 months alone, we’ve deployed over 500,000 ERC-4337-compatible smart accounts on Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, Linea, opBNB, and Base. At the time of writing, that accounts for almost [50% of all the smart accounts](https://dune.com/niftytable/account-abstraction) that exist today across all blockchains. CyberAccounts have generated over [1M UserOperations](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) and more than USD 1.2M has been deposited in CyberWallet for gas.

### So, why CyberWallet?

One of the most pivotal insights on our journey in building and growing consumer crypto applications emerged while navigating the challenges in user onboarding. Even though decentralized applications and protocols are fairly accessible to crypto-native users, the intrinsic complexity of blockchains and crypto wallets creates a high barrier for regular users to explore the web3 ecosystem. The most significant of these complexities include:

1. Transaction signing and the gas fee system

2. Cryptographic key management

3. Isolated blockchains

Like most other crypto teams, we want to make web3 more accessible to a wider audience. Instead of waiting for someone else to build a solution, we addressed these challenges head-on and developed [CyberWallet](https://bit.ly/3svmoIZ), an ERC-4337-compatible smart contract wallet.

We bet on [ERC-4337](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337) because it aims to make blockchains user-friendly, increase their security, and enhance the overall functionality of wallets and transactions. Of all the enhancements it offers to the existing infrastructure, we believe the most crucial ones are:

**Flexible Authentication Layer**

ERC-4337 introduces a versatile system for managing who can access and control blockchain accounts. This flexibility means users can choose how to manage their private keys, which is essential for account access. They can either opt for:

1. **Self-Custodial Management**: Manage keys independently, using a familiar wallet interface like [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), where users are solely responsible for their keys' safety.

2. **Shared Key Management**: Share the responsibility of managing keys with trusted parties or across multiple devices using advanced methods like Multi-Party Computation (MPC) or cloud enclaves. This can add extra security layers, as keys are not held in one place but distributed and managed collectively.

This flexibility opens the door to a number of innovative applications, like 2-factor authentication and session keys for blockchain accounts.

**More Efficient Transactions by Decoupling Gas Payments**

ERC-4337 introduces an alternative structure for processing blockchain transactions that simplifies the user experience. It does this by using a new kind of transaction, a UserOperation, which separates the transaction from the complexities of paying gas fees. This enables a 'gas-sponsored' experience where users no longer have to pay transaction fees themselves. Instead, a marketplace of gas sponsors—like blockchain companies—could emerge, where these sponsors voluntarily cover the transaction costs for users. This could play a significant role in the early stages of web3 applications by reducing barriers for users.

**Programmable Modular Account**

Smart accounts pave the way for a new generation of programmable accounts, greatly expanding the design space for developers to build novel account solutions in web3. For example, by utilizing standards like [ERC-6900](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6900), we can offer users enhanced account functionality with modular and extensible features. This includes but is not limited to, session keys, multi-signature authentication, and on-chain guardians. The result is a ‘smart’ web3 account that can adapt to the diverse and evolving requirements of users, providing a seamless and secure interface for engaging with decentralized applications.

Unfortunately, despite these advantages, ERC-4337’s full potential has yet to be realized. While many in the industry have been touting its potential in onboarding the next billion users onto crypto, there’s a reason it hasn’t taken off at the speed many of us expected.

As we set forth on this journey to bring a robust account abstracted smart contract wallet to market, it quickly became clear to us that pioneering work often meets unanticipated obstacles. In the spirit of camaraderie and collective progress, we want to share the challenges we faced with the hope that we can move together quickly to address them as an industry.

### The Challenges

**Single Domain Stateful Architecture**

One of the key differences between an EOA and a smart contract account is that the EOA is stateless, while the smart contract account is stateful. States, like the initial access key setup, are bound to a specific smart contract account on a blockchain. This means that they are stored on each blockchain and [do not magically propagate to others](https://vitalik.ca/general/2023/06/20/deeperdive.html). Therefore, managing a smart contract account in a multi-chain setup is not as easy as switching a network inside an EOA wallet.

To get around this, at CyberWallet, we utilize [CREATE2](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/cli/2.8/deploying-with-create2) to generate deterministic account addresses from initial access keys. Important to note that for now, we assume the initial access keys are the same across different EVM-compatible blockchains. This is to provide a familiar user experience for multi-chain account addresses, similar to EOA wallets. However, because access keys may need to change over time, this presents a new challenge. While technologies like [Keystore](https://vitalik.ca/general/2023/06/20/deeperdive.html) are very appealing, we believe that in the short term, developing cross-domain infrastructure and messaging channels is definitely needed to address multi-chain state management.

**Gas: Estimation, Overhead, and Management Across Blockchains**

One of the biggest challenges we faced was conducting gas estimation for different blockchains. While L1 blockchains have straightforward gas estimation, ERC-4337 Gas Estimation for L2s is exponentially more complex. `preVerificationGas` for a UserOperation is proportional to `L1_price/L2_price`, and in the case where this ratio increases from the time gas estimation happens until bundling, the `UserOperation` will be rejected. While adding a buffer (~25%) to `preVerificationGas` increases the likelihood of bundling, that also means users are stuck paying for this overhead, regardless of price fluctuations in L1 and L2 gas. We work hard to provide the right balance that offers ‘most likely’ bundling without rejection and the lowest gas overhead for users. Our friends over at Alchemy wrote an excellent [blog](https://www.alchemy.com/blog/l2-gas-and-signature-aggregators) about this problem.

On top of this, another rather well-known challenge is the gas overhead caused by ERC-4337 components like the EntryPoint contract and Paymaster. Granted, this seems like a major blocker for the mass adoption of smart accounts-powered web3 applications. However, we believe that proposed Ethereum upgrades like [EIP-4844: Proto-Danksharding](https://www.eip4844.com/) will significantly lower the gas cost on L2s and make this gas overhead negligible. Of course, as ERC-4337 adoption rates increase, smart contract accounts will soon be cheaper than EOAs on L2s as they start aggregating signatures to reduce the amount of data that needs to be stored on L1.

Finally, the true success of any technology is when it disappears from the end user experience. For web3 applications, this must manifest by the complexities of blockchains completely disappearing, even as users move across apps on different networks. However, gas management across blockchains comes with its own set of challenges. In CyberWallet, we introduced **SmartGas**, a universal gas credit represented in USD value. With SmartGas, users can deposit tokens as a gas credit on any supported EVM blockchain, which is then converted into their corresponding USD value at the time of deposit. Users may utilize this credit to cover gas fees when doing transactions on any of our supported blockchains.

**Fragmented Mempool**

Ideally, the alternative mempool introduced by ERC-4337 should be accessible and shared across different bundlers to maximize the chances of a UserOperation being included in a block. However, as the P2P mempool standard is still under development, and each bundler provider has their own mempool, we arrive, albeit hesitantly, at the crossroads of a fragmented mempool. Staying dedicated to our commitment to ensuring that users’ transactions are included in the block, we decided to connect several bundler networks behind our service to increase availability and prevent censorship. UserOperations are assigned to different bundlers and their traffic split changes dynamically based on a bundler’s error rate, RPC latency, and operation pending time.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/82f46803-4c8c-4bfb-835b-17ca1265f634/postImageFolder/cffd0a9b124d79c0)

Although helpful, this multi-bundler strategy comes with its own set of challenges. It may be possible that a user unknowingly generates duplicate operations on multiple mempools with one operation’s gas going to waste. In any case, the UserOperation path must be properly tracked should we want to support UserOperation replacement in case of network congestion. To address this, we developed a ‘UserOperation + PmData lifecycle’ to have state transition properly defined so that user won’t waste their gas credit and can do advanced UserOperation management, such as speed up transactions by paying higher gas.

**Testing the Limits: ERC-4337 Boundaries and Scalability**

Arguably, one of the most aggressive yet ambitious steps we’ve taken as a team was to test the boundaries of our ERC-4337 implementation by letting over 150k users claim their [CYBER token](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/ae8c8e2bac694aca8c7f8fd9aee3c3da6dfaf5c5427de9db52e030e66eed7e80)[ community rewards](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/ae8c8e2bac694aca8c7f8fd9aee3c3da6dfaf5c5427de9db52e030e66eed7e80). It was an audacious test in retrospect, to say the least, as over 185k UserOperations were generated on the claiming day, and 70 ETH was consumed as gas fees. Even the L1 gas price pumped up when we started the claiming event.

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/82f46803-4c8c-4bfb-835b-17ca1265f634/postImageFolder/1cc1fd0726537fe8)

Here’s what happened:

Way too many UserOperations were submitted to multiple mempools across different bundlers in a short period. Subsequently, as the gas price increased, the gas estimation in the UserOperation was too low to be included on-chain. This resulted in an increasing number of UserOperations getting stuck in the mempool, unfortunately breaking the underlying bundler infrastructures. Reasons for failure range from depleted database resources to issues with node memory, and the message queue getting stuck. Our production environment experienced about one hour of downgraded service. Now is probably a good time for a special shout-out to our friends over at [Pimlico](https://www.pimlico.io/), [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/), and [Biconomy](https://www.biconomy.io/) for their endless efforts in providing support during this emergency.

Our biggest lesson from this event is to ensure a proper UserOperation rate limit based on the blockchain capacity. Developing an advanced gas estimation strategy is crucial here, as submitting many underpriced UserOperations quickly doesn’t make any sense and only creates pressure on the mempools. Not to forget, bundling multiple UserOperations in one transaction can somewhat mitigate this issue. We were specifically impressed with Alchemy’s bundler that bundled around 10 UserOperations in one transaction to accelerate transactions to be included onchain during this event.

### CyberWallet: What’s Next?

Ultimately, CyberWallet’s core mandate is to bring web3 to the world and onboard 1B+ new users into crypto. We realize the audacity of that goal and are moving quickly to achieve that. The next series of feature updates to CyberWallet include a number of fundamental changes that are sure to make the user experience of blockchain-based applications safer and more intuitive.

Here’s what’s coming:

**Improved User Onboarding with Passkeys**

Cryptographic key management remains a major complexity for users just starting their web3 journey. Currently, CyberWallet adopts a traditional EOA (like MetaMask) strategy for key management. We will continue to support that, and in fact, in the coming weeks, we will expand that to develop wallet interfaces such as a CyberAccount MetaMask Snap.

We also believe that there is no single key management framework that meets the diverse range of use cases like mobile environments, gaming, and social. Therefore, we are adopting the PassKey standard to bring web2 product UX to web3. The device-bound design of PassKey is important in terms of security and accessibility. Important to note that Ethereum doesn’t natively support such a signature yet, so for the time being, we’re using a cloud enclave solution. Fortunately, key management does not require vendor lock-in because of the flexible authentication layer of the smart contract account. We will continue to follow developments in Ethereum, like [EIP-7212](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7212), to adopt more progressive, and decentralized solutions.

**Cross Domain Framework**

With the emergence of more L2s and L1s, the isolation of blockchain systems is becoming a serious problem in navigating UX challenges. This is a complex problem and needs wider industry collaboration. We are actively researching and participating in topics like cross-rollup interoperability, AMPs (Arbitrary Message Passing Protocols), and independent mempool frameworks like Flashbot SUAVE, Anoma, etc. We believe a properly implemented cross-domain framework will elevate web3 UX significantly, and, therefore, become a core foundation for the future development of CyberWallet.

**Intent-based Design**

Paradigm recently helped revive [intent-based architectures](https://www.paradigm.xyz/2023/06/intents). ‘Declarative paradigm’ is not a new concept; in fact, many web2 systems are already built upon this programming design principle. It’s interesting to see such design thinking being adopted into blockchain systems. We are actively exploring use cases where users can express and execute their intent with multiple staged transactions. These use cases will be tested in the new version of the CyberWallet app in the coming months.

**CyberID and Multi-Chain Naming Solution**

The account states, such as underlying access keys, tend to change over time. We’ve found that it’s not practical to build upon the assumption that users will always have the same account address in a multi-chain world. In fact, it’s impossible to get the same account address in some blockchains, such as zkSync, even with CREATE2. Gnosis Safe wrote an excellent [blog](https://safe.mirror.xyz/4GcGAOFno-suTCjBewiYH4k4yXPDdIukC5woO5Bjc4w) about smart account addresses in a multi-chain landscape. We are developing our in-house naming solution called [CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/94e7b558022376aff30fabe6c8ed07be82b6ffdf6bd2c6665cdd054dc54b4da0) to allow users to track their account-related info such as counterfactual address, historical validators, and deployment status in a multi-chain setup. Therefore, users and dApps only need to use this human-readable identifier when interacting with CyberWallet.

### **Conclusion**

User onboarding remains one of the most crucial bottlenecks in bringing web3 to the world. The developments in account abstraction, especially most recently with ERC-4337, have been extremely significant and have brought the industry one step closer to mass adoption. The onus now lies on the web3 developer community and our ability to mobilize industry-wide collaboration to build user-friendly products that spread the promise of blockchains and decentralization far and wide. Our team at CyberConnect is excited to collaborate with you to bring web3 to the world.

Wallets are the cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem. They serve as the primary interface for users to interact with blockchain-based applications and manage their digital assets. But despite their critical role, traditional crypto wallets are complex to use and present a high barrier for entry for non-technical users. This process can not only be time-consuming but also frustrating for both users and app developers.

To overcome these barriers and promote wider adoption, the next generation of crypto wallets must address the challenges and difficulties that hinder user onboarding and engagement. This requires a sharp focus on simplicity, user-friendliness and interoperability. At [CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/), we didn't want to wait on the sidelines for a solution. So, [we took the initiative and created CyberWallet](https://link3.to/wallet/post/62f5d659d45dac9fd05aebf2fbfe3e9d36c617ab2d225767248e22c194f4ad0b), an ERC-4337-compatible smart contract wallet. Our goal with [CyberWallet](https://wallet.cyber.co/) is simple: to unlock the current bottleneck of user onboarding in web3 and bring crypto to a billion users.

But what exactly are smart contract wallets and how do they simplify the complex world of blockchain and crypto through account abstraction? Let's unpack the idea behind this emerging tech in crypto wallets and learn what it's trying to solve.

## Why Smart Contract Wallets?

Smart contract wallets leverage the power of smart contracts (self-executing agreements stored on the blockchain) to store and manage digital assets. Unlike traditional non-custodial wallets, smart contract wallets use [account abstraction](https://ethereum.org/en/roadmap/account-abstraction/) to abstract away the complexities of managing private keys and interacting with smart contracts. As a result, the user experience is safer and friendlier.

One of the defining characteristics of smart contract wallets is their ability to be programmed with custom logic. This flexibility allows developers to create wallets with features that cater to specific user needs and preferences, such as:

**1. Social Recovery**

In traditional wallets, if users lose their seed phrase, they permanently lose access to their funds. This can be devastating, as seed phrases are often difficult to memorize and can be easily lost or stolen. Social recovery, on the other hand, provides a more secure and user-friendly solution. Instead of relying on a single seed phrase, social recovery utilizes a trusted network of contacts, such as friends or family members, who can help recover a lost wallet. This approach is based on the idea that multiple people are less likely to lose their ability to access a wallet simultaneously than a single individual.

**2. Signless Transactions**

Traditional wallets require users to sign each transaction using their private keys, which can be a cumbersome and time-consuming process. This is particularly true for users who frequently interact with decentralized applications (dApps) or make numerous transactions throughout the day. Smart contract wallets can address this limitation by introducing signless transaction capabilities. They can allow users to pre-approve a set of transactions or delegate the signing process to a trusted third party. This approach significantly reduces the time and effort required to execute transactions, making it more convenient for users to manage their digital assets.

**3. Batch Transactions**

Each transfer or interaction requires separate confirmations and gas fees in traditional wallet-based transactions. This can become cumbersome and time-consuming, especially for users who frequently make multiple transactions or interact with decentralized applications (dApps). Smart contract wallets can address this limitation by introducing batch transactions, a feature that groups multiple transactions into a single batch. This batch is then processed as a single transaction, significantly reducing the number of confirmations and gas fees required.

**4. Gasless Transactions**

In traditional gas fee mechanisms, users must hold the native currency of the blockchain network in their wallets to execute transactions. For instance, on the Ethereum network, ETH is the native currency used to pay gas fees for transactions. This method might be frustrating for people who are just starting out and don't have ETH or the means to get it. Gasless transactions address this challenge by decoupling gas fee payment from the transaction sender. This means that users can initiate transactions without having to hold the native currency of the network. Instead, gas fees can be paid by a third party, such as dApp providers or designated sponsors (called paymasters).

**5. Multi-Signature Transactions**

Multi-signature transactions can introduce a layer of redundancy and shared control, requiring authorization from multiple parties before a transaction can be executed. This collaborative approach significantly strengthens security by making it more difficult for a single individual or compromised device to access and steal funds. For instance, a multi-signature wallet could require approval from multiple family members or trusted friends, ensuring that multiple eyes are always watching over funds.

**6. Spending Limits**

Spending limits can introduce an additional safeguard against unauthorized or excessive transactions. By setting spending limits, users can define the maximum amount that can be transferred from their wallet within a specific timeframe. This feature is particularly useful in preventing large-scale unauthorized transactions or safeguarding against impulsive decisions. For example, a user could set a daily spending limit, ensuring that even if their wallet were compromised, attackers would only be able to steal a limited amount of funds.

## Final Thoughts

Smart contract wallets are a significant step forward in the crypto world, especially for beginners. They simplify what was once complex, making it easier to manage digital assets compared to traditional wallets. With these wallets, the challenges of handling private keys and understanding gas fees become less intimidating. For newcomers, this means a more welcoming entry into crypto.

## FAQ

**1. What is the difference between EOA wallets and smart contract wallets?**

In traditional EOA wallets, your private keys — which you need to access your crypto — are stored on one device at a time. If something happens to your device or if someone manages to steal your keys, you can lose access to your funds. Smart contract wallets keep your private keys on the blockchain itself through smart contracts. This way, it’s possible to securely access your crypto from multiple devices.

**2. What is the difference between MPC wallets and smart contract wallets?**

In MPC (multi-party computation) wallets, the private key is divided into multiple parts (or shares). This way, no single person or device can access the complete private key. This added layer of security eliminates a single point of failure. Smart contract wallets don’t rely on traditional private keys at all. They use smart contracts to store and manage your assets.

**3. How do smart contract wallets work?**

Smart contract wallets can allow for blockchain accounts to be programmed with custom logic through the use of smart contracts. This programmability allows wallet providers to create account functionalities tailored to the diverse needs of Web3 users. For example, they can be programmed to require multiple signatures to approve transactions, or support on-chain guardians to make it easier to restore your wallet using social recovery options.

**4. How to create a smart contract wallet?**

Creating a smart contract wallet can be done in a few clicks. Just visit [wallet.cyber.co](http://wallet.cyber.co/) and start by clicking the 'Connect' button at the top right corner of the page. Connect your existing wallet (like MetaMask or Trust Wallet) to create a smart contract account on CyberWallet.

### **CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access]**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/5ebbb9fa-9d33-4741-a22d-2a7dc4b95c0c/postImageFolder/40aff01c7a24e5bc)Building in web3 requires long-term commitment and dedication. The only thing that keeps us going, is the unwavering support of our community members, who have stuck with us through the highs and lows of the last two years. Not only that but building in web3 offers a unique opportunity for a community to come together and help build and grow a product that is meaningful and leaves a positive impact on the world. For those contributions, community members are rewarded - both for being early adopters and acting as brand ambassadors of those products. Today, as the incentive layer for the CyberWallet Beta Launch Program, we’re thrilled to announce the beginning of Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access].

Here are the specific guidelines👇🏼

✦ **Check your eligibility [here](https://wallet.cyber.co/rewards).**

**✧** Only those who applied for Season 2 [Early Access] program using [this form](https://cyberconnect.deform.cc/communityrewards/)

OR

**✧** Whitelisted by one of the launch partners (DODO, Element Marketplace, Philand, BasePaint, MyShell, PancakeSwap, Polynomial Finance, Gabby World, and Polyhedra Network).

✦ **Timeline**

**✧** CyberWallet Beta Launch Program will run from today until 21, 2023.

✦ **Tasks**

**✧** Whitelisted users will have several tasks (general and CyberApp-specific) which will be rewarded with Season 2 [Early Access] Points upon completion. Each task has different points and rewards.

✦ **Rewards**

**✧** Users with Season 2 [Early Access] Points will earn CYBER tokens from a reward pool of 25,000 CYBER for beta testing CyberWallet and its slate of new features, specifically CyberApps.

✦ **Rules**

✧ Your Season 2 CYBER reward will be calculated using the formula (Your Season 2 [Early Access] Points/ Total Season 2 [Early Access] Points Earned by all Users) x 20K CYBER. Meaning the more points you earn, the higher your reward.

✧ 5K CYBER will be used to sponsor 1 transaction per user per day as part of a promotion to incentivize user testing and activity.

We look forward to users trying out all the new features we’ve been designing at CyberWallet and receiving your feedback. With CyberWallet, we’re on a mission to bring web3 to the world. With this beta launch program and the subsequent Community Rewards: Season 2 [Early Access] incentives, we hope to take the current web3 user experience to the next level - with your help and feedback. As they say, ‘It takes a village.’

CyberApps 用户指南

***Earn free crypto by participating in Link3 events! Set up your Link3 profile, explore events, and claim W3ST as your proof of participation.***

In today's digital world, social media platforms are vital for connecting with web3 projects and communities, but often, we end up feeling like mere spectators. While we can interact through likes, comments, and shares, these actions seldom translate into real impact or recognition. Web3 projects are different; they rely heavily on active community involvement. Traditional social media doesn't quite capture the essence of this engagement, lacking in ways to truly acknowledge and reward our contributions. This gap highlights the need for platforms that not only connect us but also value and reward our efforts. Web3 promises just that — a space where every contribution is meaningful and appreciated.

At Link3, your involvement and engagement in digital events is rewarded. And that’s why we've made it simple for you to find and participate in events hosted by top projects in crypto.

Imagine attending a Discord AMA or X Space not only for the valuable insights and connections they offer but also for the chance to earn some free crypto as a reward for your participation. Link3 makes this a reality by allowing users to reap the benefits of their community engagement and become active participants in the Web3 ecosystem.

So, let's explore the exciting ways you can engage with Link3 events and maximize your potential of earning some crypto rewards.

## Setting Up Your Account on Link3

To get started, create your Link3 profile. This process is easy and can be completed in a few clicks:

**1. Create a CyberAccount**

- Head over to the [Link3.to](https://link3.to/) homepage.

- Look for the 'Connect Wallet' button in the top right corner and click on it. This will show a list of wallet options. If you don't have a wallet yet, find one that's available in your region [here](https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/find-wallet/).

- Select your wallet provider. A pop-up from your wallet will ask for confirmation to establish the connection with Link3.

**2. Proceed to Link3 Settings**

- After successfully connecting your wallet, it's time to ensure that your profile settings are configured correctly.

- Go to your Link3 profile settings. Here, you'll need to link your X and Discord accounts. This step is crucial for participating in Link3 events. Without linking these accounts, you won't be able to join events. This way, we make sure that only genuine and active participants are rewarded.

**Minting Your CyberID (Optional but Useful)**

Minting a CyberID isn't a must to participate in events, but it's a good idea. CyberID is your unique handle on Link3, just like your username on X or Instagram. Moreover, if you want your own Link3 profile, you'll need a CyberID. You can still participate in events without a CyberID, but to show off your W3ST status tokens (more on that later), you'll need a profile page with your CyberID handle. Here’s [everything you need to know about CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/c277cf2c71a4840e88966fcee11a07c9c521b9688b06042e5c1f7860eafe0fd1) and how to mint yours.

That's it! If you've connected your X and Discord accounts to your Link3, you can explore and participate in events. In the next section, we'll guide you through how to find and join these events to start earning your rewards.

## Discover Events and Earn Rewards for Participating

Now that your Link3 profile is all set up, you're ready to dive into the exciting part: participating in events and earning rewards. Here's how to get started:

**1. Discovering Link3 Events**

- By selecting the "Events" tab from the navigation bar, you can check out a wide range of events hosted on Link3. When you click on this tab, you will be given the option to choose between two main options: Explore and All Events.

- You'll find a carefully curated selection of featured events on the 'Explore' page. These events highlight some of the most exciting and rewarding community engagement opportunities available on Link3.

- On the 'All Events' page, you can further narrow down your search and find events using the filtering options based on categories like "Trending," "Upcoming," or "Newly Added." This way, you can discover events that match your interests and reward goals.

Each event listing provides a brief overview, including the event title, description, date and time, and the rewards on offer. To dive deeper into a particular event, click on its listing. There, you'll find all the details, including speaker information and the eligibility criteria for earning rewards.

**2. Earning Rewards**

Link3 offers two main types of rewards to encourage and incentivize user participation:

- **W3ST:** Event organizers award W3ST (Web3 Status Token pronounced as west) to participants who meet eligibility requirements. These ERC-721 NFTs serve as digital proof of attendance to signify your active participation and engagement in Link3 events.

- **Raffle Rewards:** In addition to W3ST tokens, some events offer extra raffle rewards in the form of crypto tokens.

*Note: Remember that not every event includes raffle rewards. So, if you're specifically interested in events offering free crypto, use filters to narrow down your search to only those with raffle rewards.*

**3. Claiming Your Rewards**

- To enter a raffle, follow the steps set by the event creators. This usually involves tweeting the event link before it starts, following an X account, liking/retweeting a tweet, and attending the event. Typically, participants are required to stay for a set amount of time, like 5, 10, or 15 minutes, to be eligible.

- Some events offer both raffle rewards and W3ST tokens, and the criteria for each may differ. So, be sure to complete all steps to qualify for both types of rewards.

- If you're chosen as a raffle winner, you'll receive the promised crypto reward directly in your wallet for participating in the event. As for the W3ST tokens, you can claim them after the event is over. Just keep in mind that claiming W3ST might require paying a gas fee.

So, what are you waiting for? Link3 has hosted over 14k events by over 2,500 top projects in crypto. Join today and reap the rewards of your community engagement!

## FAQ

**1. Can I link multiple social media accounts to my Link3 profile?**

Yes, you can link multiple social media accounts to your Link3 profile. Currently, you can link your X and Discord accounts.

**2. How are winners chosen for the crypto rewards in raffles?**

Once the raffle is complete, Link3 will randomly select winners from the list of eligible participants. Winners will be announced on the event page, and the crypto rewards will be distributed directly to their wallets.

**3. How is my participation in events and raffles verified?**

Your participation in events and raffles is automatically monitored by Link3 on X and Discord. These bots track your attendance, posts, and other actions to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria for rewards.

**4. How can I track my participation and rewards on Link3?**

To track your participation and rewards, make sure your wallet is connected to Link3. Then, click on your profile picture in the top right corner to access the drop-down menu. Select "W3ST" to see tokens available to claim and participation history.

**Please Note:**

**✧** All unclaimed Mystery Boxes & Mini Shards have been automatically transferred to winners. This includes the Mini Shards on Polygon earned during [CyberTrek](https://link3.to/cybertrek).

### **How to Claim**

Community Rewards: Season 1 is the first rewards program on **Optimism** with account abstraction. 

Please note:

**✧** Your total rewards allocation is calculated by combining eligible NFTs in your CyberAccount and your EOA wallet used to interact with CyberConnect protocol. For example, Mini Shard claimed on Polygon with your CyberAccount + Mini Shard won through FanClub on Link3.

**✧** A Merkle Tree for the Community Rewards: Season 1 will be deployed on chain.

**✧** To claim, your CyberAccount must first be deployed on Optimism and have gas to execute the transaction. If you have not deployed your CyberAccount on Optimism yet, you can do so on the [rewards page](https://cyber.co/rewards).

**✧** If you’re a multi-sig smart contract account holder holding the eligible NFTs, please create a ticket on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/cyberconnect) to get in touch with. 

***Finally, we have identified a few Sybil accounts attempting to game the Community Rewards program. They have been excluded from this program. We will continue to monitor for suspicious activity.***

### **What’s Next**

Community Rewards: Season 1 is just the beginning.

Season 2 is already underway and a new [CyberPoints](https://) system has been introduced to your CyberAccount. Moving forward all user activity and CyberPoints will be considered for future seasons of Community Rewards.

CyberConnect Community Rewards: Season 1

Last month, [we introduced CyberID](https://link3.to/cyberconnect/post/94e7b558022376aff30fabe6c8ed07be82b6ffdf6bd2c6665cdd054dc54b4da0), a web3-native digital social identity solution. One’s digital identity carries many aspects that reflect our personas in the real world. At CyberConnect, we like to think of identity in the context of your friendships, interactions, and transactions in a world powered by blockchains. CyberID’s web3-native design makes the complex world of blockchain-based applications safer and easier to navigate. The core mandate of CyberID and your *.cyber* handle is not only to give you access to the CyberConnect ecosystem but to help you represent and differentiate yourself in web3.

Since its launch, almost [70k unique handles](https://dune.com/cyberconnecthq/cyberaccount-cyberconnects-4337-smart-account) have been claimed. The response from our community to CyberID has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re deeply humbled by this enthusiasm, particularly from new users who are eager to explore and mint their own CyberID.

So, let’s jump in and get you the only web3 identity you’ll ever need.

### **Why CyberID?**

Our digital persona is the product of all of the information that exists about us online, such as our content, connections, and engagements. When our digital identities are fragmented across different platforms, there is no single place where all this information can be seen together. That’s why our digital identities in the traditional social media world often feel like a puzzle, with different platforms holding different pieces of our interactions. We post updates on Facebook, share real-time thoughts on Twitter, highlight our professional achievements or milestones on LinkedIn, and keep a visual journal of our lives on Instagram. But all these services and applications operate in their own isolated universes (or walled gardens), resulting in fragmented interactions. This can make it difficult to get a complete picture of our digital persona, and it can also be challenging to manage our own online interactions across multiple platforms and services. This necessitates a unified, self-sovereign, and decentralized identity that transcends the limitations of traditional tech giants. CyberID provides a solution to this.

Each CyberID is a tradeable ERC-721 NFT representing your social identity in web3. It acts as an alias for your various blockchain addresses, providing a simplified, human-readable handle instead of a string of alphanumeric characters — much like your username on Instagram or Twitter. CyberID makes the experience of navigating through the web3 space seamless by mitigating the complexities of managing multiple addresses on different blockchains. In simpler terms, CyberID is a way to create a single, unified identity for yourself on the blockchain. 

### How to mint your CyberID

Each CyberID is available on a demand-based one-time payment model. For a limited period, we’re offering 100% cash back on your handle purchase amount in the form of gas credit (SmartGas) to your CyberAccount.

The cost of minting your CyberID is determined by the handle length you select. Shorter and more distinctive handles incur a higher price. For example, if your chosen CyberID is **tom.cyber**, which is 3 characters long, the fee would be $1000. Each character you add or remove adjusts the fee, allowing you to choose a CyberID that fits your persona and budget.

**Step 1:** Create a CyberAccount (skip if you already have one)

- Visit [wallet.cyber.co](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity), and you’ll be prompted to connect your EOA wallet, such as MetaMask.

- To initiate the connection, click on the 'Connect' button. This will bring up a list of compatible wallets. If you don’t have a wallet yet, find one that is available in your region [here](https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/find-wallet/).

- Select your wallet provider. A pop-up from your wallet will ask for confirmation to establish the connection with [wallet.cyber.co](https://wallet.cyber.co/cyberid?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cyberid&utm_term=cyberaccount-cyberid&utm_content=CyberID+-+Your+Web3+Social+Identity).

**Step 2:** Proceed to Mint Your CyberID

- Once your EOA wallet is successfully connected, locate the 'CyberID' tab on the left-hand sidebar. This will direct you to the CyberID minting page.

- A menu will appear with two options: ‘Mint’ and ‘Claim.’ Make sure you select the ‘Mint’ option to create a new CyberID. If you previously held a CyberProfile (now deprecated), you can ‘claim’ your previous handle.

**Step 3:** Choose your unique CyberID handle

- Enter your desired CyberID handle, which will be displayed as [your handle].cyber. For example, if you choose the handle ‘tom,’ your CyberID will be displayed as tom.cyber.

- Review the minting fee, which will be automatically calculated based on the length of your chosen CyberID handle. This fee will be displayed in USD and payable in ETH on the OP Mainnet network.

*Note: Before proceeding, double-check that your signer wallet has enough ETH to cover the minting fee. Remember, this transaction occurs on the OP Mainnet, so that’s where your funds need to be.*

**About CyberConnect**

[CyberConnect](https://cyberconnect.me/) is a web3 social network that enables developers to create social applications empowering users to own their digital identity, content, connections, and monetization channels.[ Messari](https://link3.to/messari),[ Rarible](https://link3.to/rarible),[ 1inch](https://link3.to/1inch),[ BNB Chain](https://link3.to/bnbchain), along with 2,600 projects and 1.2M users and creators are building long-lasting connections through apps built on CyberConnect.

[Website](https://cyberconnect.me/) | [Docs](https://docs.cyberconnect.me/) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/CyberConnectHQ) | [Discord](https://discord.gg/cyberconnecthq) | [Telegram](https://t.me/CyberConnect)

The rise of social media and the ever-increasing demand for engaging and shareable content have transformed content creation in recent years. While this shift has opened up new opportunities for creators to reach a global audience, it has also introduced various challenges.

For example, today's digital content landscape is largely dominated by a handful of players. These platforms — acting as intermediaries between creators and their audiences — dictate the terms of [content distribution, censorship, and monetization](https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/27/elon-musk-twitter-everything-you-need-to-know/). This centralization of power leaves creators with limited autonomy and control over their work and earnings.

Thus, opaque policies and the tendency to surrender to external pressures often lead to arbitrary removal or restriction of content. This can stifle creativity, limit the free flow of ideas, and hinder creators from reaching their target audience.

As a result, creators often struggle to establish a strong and engaged following, which can have a significant impact on their long-term success. But what if there was an alternative course of action? One that [embraces a decentralized approach](https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-and-nfts-are-changing-the-publishing-industry), shifting power and control back to the creators themselves.

At [Link3](https://link3.to), we believe that the future of content creation is on Web3. And we're ensuring creators, publications and Web3 projects have the tools and resources they need to succeed in this new space. That's why we are building a new era of decentralized content publishing where publishers are empowered, rewarded, and free to express themselves.

So, let's explore how you can use Link3 to take your content creation efforts to the next level.

## **Why Choose Link3?**

![img](https://link3-image.cyberconnect.dev/b90b5e49-9e7f-48ae-850a-ce2664bfec4a/postImageFolder/09d7e8197ddbac81)Link3 recognizes that every piece of content is more than just a fleeting expression; it's an integral expression of your brand voice. Unlike traditional platforms that often relegate creators to passive roles, we have established a creator-centric ecosystem where every piece of content is valued and becomes an integral part of your digital footprint.

This approach has allowed us to prioritize creator autonomy and ownership, empowering you to take complete control of your content creation process and build a strong digital identity around it.

In the traditional environment, you often risk your content being removed or censored. This can be due to various factors, such as violations of [arbitrary community guidelines or decisions by platform moderators](https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/what-the-twitter-files-reveal-about-free-speech-and-social-media). Such takedowns can have a devastating impact on your work, potentially erasing your online presence and hindering your ability to reach your target audience.

Our decentralized infrastructure eliminates these risks so that your content is no longer vulnerable to downtime, data breaches, or even outright removal due to policy changes or external pressures. Therefore, you can rest assured that your work remains accessible, preserving its value and impact forever.

Link3 also allows you to tokenize your content and convert it into NFTs. By doing this, you not only establish a deeper connection with your audience by allowing them to collect their favorite piece of content from your work, but you also unlock a more meaningful and lucrative form of content monetization. This approach enables your audience to actively engage with your creative work, deepening a sense of community while offering a novel avenue of revenue generation.

The success of an NFT project isn't solely determined by the quality of the digital artwork or the ingenuity of its underlying technology. It's also fueled by the vibrant and active community that surrounds it. These communities are not simply passive observers cheering from the sidelines. They're the lifeblood of the project, actively shaping its trajectory with their enthusiasm, insights, and unwavering support.

Imagine a bustling marketplace where passionate collectors eagerly await the next big drop, their conversations buzzing with anticipation and analysis. This isn't some fictional scene. It's the reality of NFT communities, where members are not just consumers but also creators. They generate content, provide feedback, and even influence the project's roadmap.

That's why NFT projects often turn to social media platforms to engage with their communities. But while these traditional platforms have their strengths in bringing creators and collectors together and generating buzz, they often fall short in their ability to authentically recognize and reward community engagement.

This gap highlights the need for platforms that empower NFT projects to recognize and reward community engagement in ways that surpass the limitations of traditional social media. At Link3, we help brands get the most out of their community events, enabling them to reward engagement with [NFT badges and crypto incentives](https://link3.to/link3/post/77acdecde8eac55f0a75b9a83b1ded8dfc4025c55a00d53d5db12f83efc45ea9).

So, let's explore how NFT projects can use Link3 events to host online meetups and mint parties to engage and reward their communities.
