GeniusTerminal gave me a Solana address and an EVM address from the same passkey. That is the bet.
I opened @Genius Terminal once. Onboarding gave me two addresses. Solana. EVM. Same passkey. No second wallet. No second seed phrase. I missed how strange that is until I remembered trying it manually on Phantom and Backpack last year. Both struggled...
This is the architecture decision people are not writing about. It is upstream of most features I have liked.
Convert works because the account already holds both sides. Genius Bridge Protocol works because the destination address exists before you ask. Unified portfolio across 9 chains is one query, not nine. Ghost Orders splitting leans on ephemeral wallets on either chain without re-onboarding.
Doing this is hard. Solana keys derive from ed25519, EVM from secp256k1. Driving both from one passkey through Turnkey and Lit Protocol is work users do not notice until it breaks.
Recovery worries me. Passkey lost means iCloud or Google ecosystem becomes the single point of failure. Docs describe email and SMS 2FA fallback. They do not describe what happens when device, email, and SMS are lost in the same week.
The platform bet is real. The recovery story is not stress-tested in public...
That is what I want to see before I move size.
