How Embedded Wallets Work with Para: Onboard Users via Email or Social Login
With embedded wallets users log in with email or social accounts and get a crypto wallet automatically. Para offers a white-label embedded wallet
If you’re building a Web3 or fintech app and want users to log in with their email, Google, or social accounts (without installing a wallet, managing seed phrases, or dealing with browser extensions), you’re looking for an embedded wallet solution.
In this guide, we’ll break down:
- What embedded wallets are
- Why they’re essential for user-friendly crypto apps
- How they work behind the scenes
- How you can add an embedded wallet to your app using Para, complete with white-labeling and social logins
What Are Embedded Wallets?
An embedded wallet is a crypto wallet that lives inside your app and is created automatically when a user signs up or logs in.
What’s the Difference Between Metamask and an Embedded Wallet Like Para?
Users don’t need to download MetaMask, write down seed phrases, or even know they’re interacting with a blockchain. Instead, they can sign in with email, Google, or another social account, and your app handles wallet creation and signing in the background.
Embedded wallets make blockchain apps feel like modern, user-friendly software with all the crypto infrastructure hidden under the hood.
Why Use Embedded Wallets?
If you're building a consumer-facing crypto or fintech product, embedded wallets offer the fastest, simplest onboarding experience for your users.
With embedded wallets, you can:
- Eliminate onboarding friction
- Abstract away key management and seed phrases
- Keep users inside your app, with no browser popups or redirects
- Enable wallet creation at sign-up (or even before sign-up)
- Let users access balances, send/receive tokens, and sign transactions without touching private keys
How Embedded Wallets Like Para Work
Here's how an embedded wallet typically works in your app:
- User signs up or logs in with email or social account (e.g., Google, Apple).
- Behind the scenes, a non-custodial wallet is created or loaded for them.
- The private key is generated using Distributed MPC.
- When a blockchain action is needed (like sending USDC), the app signs the transaction programmatically, with no user popup or browser extension needed.
From the user’s perspective, the signing experience feels just like a typical Web2 app, but under the hood users are transacting onchain.
