Introduction

What is Virto Connect?

Virto Connect is a complete solution that facilitates the integration of web applications with blockchain networks through a fluid and secure user experience. It consists of a web component (virto-connect) and a JavaScript SDK that abstract the complexity of blockchain authentication and transaction signing.

What does it do?

• User registration: Allows users to register using WebAuthn (passkeys), eliminating the need to manage private keys or seed phrases.

• Authentication: Users can authenticate using the passkeys stored on their devices.

• Extrinsic signing: Enables the signing of transactions (extrinsics) in hexadecimal format without exposing private keys.

• Session management: Maintains an active session for approximately 15 minutes (150 blocks).

Who is it for?

• Web developers who want to integrate blockchain functionalities into their applications.

• Teams looking for a secure authentication solution without the traditional friction of web3 wallets.

• Projects that need a simple onboarding for users with no previous blockchain experience.
