The Pinnacle of Account Systems Has Been Reached

This is no exaggeration, our Ecosystem Wallets are now so feature rich there is no use case in all of gaming that it does not support.

Thirdweb now provides you with a cross-platform, cross-sdk, cross-device, cross-language blockchain-powered, secure, non-custodial account system that you can not only reuse across your own games and apps, but also your ecosystem partners' games and apps.

It doesn't stop there, you can use this EcosystemWallet to create a Guest mode (AuthProvider.Guest) first and upgrade later through Account Linking, which we feature here alongside other additions like Line authentication. All of this without losing the EcosystemWallet address.

The Account Linking feature, once understood, unlocks infinite possibilities as it ties into all our auth methods, which now include:

• Email (OTP)
• Phone (OTP)
• Google
• Apple
• Facebook
• Discord
• Farcaster
• Telegram
• Line
• Siwe (Sign in with Ethereum - yep you can link external wallets and even login to your EcosystemWallet with them next time)
• Guest (does not require any inputs, simply choose it as your auth provider to create a guest mode)

It doesn't stop there, we also offer custom authentication:

• JWT (you want to create a wallet out of an OIDC-compatible authentication system, entirely possible)
• AuthEndpoint (you want to go even further, having us verify a generic payload against your backend, for things like TG Mini-Apps)

There is not a single use case we don't support. You just have to integrate, and we're here to help.

If you don't want to commit to a performant, scalable, entirely secure and shareable with third-parties and fast EcosystemWallet, don't worry, all of the above is available for InAppWallet too.

Now for how-to's

Do note that once again, it's the same API for InAppWallet, but without ecosystemId and the optional ecosystemPartnerId.

Below are the different ways you can use some of the functionality introduced in this version.

You can turn any of these wallets into a Smart Wallet easily, using SmartWallet.Create or by passing SmartWalletOptions to Unity's ThirdwebManager.ConnectWallet function on top of your base options / using the ThirdwebManager.UpgradeToSmartWallet helper if you want to do it later.

Login With Guest (.NET SDK)

var guestWallet = await EcosystemWallet.Create(ecosystemId: "ecosystem.the-bonfire", client: client, authProvider: AuthProvider.Guest);
if (!await guestWallet.IsConnected())
{
    _ = await guestWallet.LoginWithGuest();
}
var address = await guestWallet.GetAddress();

Login With Guest (Unity)

var walletOptions = new WalletOptions(
    provider: WalletProvider.EcosystemWallet,
    chainId: 421614,
    ecosystemWalletOptions: new EcosystemWalletOptions(ecosystemId: "ecosystem.the-bonfire", authprovider: AuthProvider.Guest)
);
var ecosystemWallet = await ConnectWallet(walletOptions) as EcosystemWallet;

Get Linked Accounts

var linkedAccounts = await ecosystemOrInAppWallet.GetLinkedAccounts();

Link a new Account

All Auth Methods Supported! Just pass the related params to that auth method that you typically would

// Assuming you already have a connected wallet you want to link a new profile to
var walletToLink = await InAppWallet.Create(client: client, authProvider: AuthProvider.Google);
var linkedAccounts = await mainConnectedWallet.LinkAccount(walletToLink );

A Full Unity Example, ThirdwebManager is there as a helper after all and APIs are simpler

// Sign up with guest mode to avoid the friction of auth with new users
var walletOptions = new WalletOptions(
    provider: WalletProvider.EcosystemWallet,
    chainId: 421614,
    ecosystemWalletOptions: new EcosystemWalletOptions(ecosystemId: "ecosystem.the-bonfire", authprovider: AuthProvider.Guest)
);
var ecosystemWallet = await ConnectWallet(walletOptions) as EcosystemWallet; // or EcosystemWallet.Create

// This address will not change after linking i.e. in this case "upgrading" your account
var address = await ecosystemWallet.GetAddress();
Debug.Log($"Connected EcosystemWallet: {address}");

// This is how you display currently linked accounts
var linkedAccounts = await ecosystemWallet.GetLinkedAccounts();
Debug.Log($"Linked accounts: {Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(linkedAccounts)}");

// Create a raw EcosystemWallet to link, in this example user would have chosen to link Line
var ecosystemWalletToLink = await EcosystemWallet.Create(
    client: ThirdwebManager.Instance.Client,
    ecosystemId: "ecosystem.the-bonfire",
    authProvider: AuthProvider.Line
);

// Use the Unity SDK helper to link the accounts
var newLinkedAccounts = await ThirdwebManager.Instance.LinkAccount(ecosystemWallet, ecosystemWalletToLink);
Debug.Log($"New linked accounts: {Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(newLinkedAccounts)}");

Additional changes

• Improved speed of NFT-related extensions.
• Fixed an issue with SIWE as an AuthProvider when using ThirdwebManager to connect.
• Added contract extensions ERC721A_TokensOfOwner & ERC721A_TokensOfOwnerIn.
• Added optional pagination to all _GetAllNFTs & _GetOwnedNFTs extensions.
• Improved ERC721A NFT-fetching speed.

Note from Firekeeper

Our goal at thirdweb has always been to work for game developers - with such systems, you're able to offload all the account system, auth, database, item management, currency management, and analytics work to the blockchain. This is what we do, and we want to help you and listen to feed back - make sure you reach out, we have many programs to get you going!

We have the recipe to make blockchain games unbeatable, cheap, fast, invisible. Persistent In-App & Ecosystem Wallets paired with Account Abstraction, Session Keys and some easy to deploy contracts is what we do. It's all open-source, it's all yours to manage.

It's time to ditch external wallets.

Blockchain games can finally focus on being fun and on distribution across different runtime platforms and companion apps.
