Trust Wallet and CoinMarketCap are creating a more decentralized ecosystem
Trust Wallet, trusted by over 60 million people, and CoinMarketCap (CMC), the premier price-tracking website for crypto assets, have joined forces to bring decentralized authentication and Web3 to an even bigger audience.
The Trust Wallet integration into CMC allows you to:
Create a user account on coinmarketcap.com using just your wallet (no need for an email address!)
Safely and seamlessly import contract addresses into your Trust Wallet using the CMC website
When you create an account on CMC, you can save a watchlist of your favourite coins, track your crypto portfolio, share your thoughts and opinions about crypto prices, and much more. Then, anytime and anywhere you log into your CMC account with Trust Wallet, you’ll have your saved watchlist, portfolio transactions, and account history – all without having to use an email address.
David Salamon, Director of Product & Design at CoinMarketCap, explains – “It’s great to come together with Trust Wallet to advance Web3. At CMC our goal is to provide our users with as much useful data, content, and utility as we can in the world of crypto. Trust Wallet is a great self-custody wallet with broad chain coverage, and it’s already trusted by millions of people. This integration was done to help these users, allowing them to quickly log into CMC with their Trust Wallet and also import contract addresses with one click."
What is decentralized authentication and why is it important?
Logging into the CMC website using a Web3 wallet is a form of decentralized authentication – eliminating the need for an email login, and giving people more control over their information. CMC's integration of Trust Wallet as a decentralized login method aligns with Trust Wallet’s mission to build a seamless web3 gateway and open crypto ecosystem – enabling more people to access Web3 safely, and easily.
Crypto decentralized logins, also known as decentralized authentication, offer a more accessible alternative to traditional email-based logins. With traditional email logins, people need to place their trust in centralized entities. But decentralized logins give people full control over their data and personal information, allowing them to decide who has access to it and how it is used.
Additionally, decentralized logins also provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. Rather than having to remember multiple usernames and passwords for different websites, users can use their decentralized login credentials to access multiple sites and services securely.
This not only makes it easier for users to access the websites they need, but it also reduces the risk of password reuse, a common vulnerability that can lead to hacking and data breaches.
