Build seamless embedded wallets with Turnkey
Flare has integrated Turnkey to offer application developers a faster, more secure way to onboard users — with familiar authentication methods like biometrics, passkeys, or email. By leveraging Turnkey’s API, developers can easily create embedded wallets, sign transactions, and automate onchain actions — all without compromising on security or flexibility. For more context on how Turnkey's wallet infrastructure benefits Flare users and developers, let’s take a closer look at Turnkey’s key differentiators.
What sets Turnkey apart?
Several factors make Turnkey unique among other wallet infrastructures and options:
Deeper dApp integration via embedded wallets
Turnkey’s embedded wallets streamline user onboarding directly within dApps. Developers on Flare can leverage a set of pre-built components to create frictionless wallet experiences within their own application frontends — no browser extensions, no app–switching.
Non-custodial wallets without phishable seed phrases
Traditional seed phrases pose risks such as phishing attacks, loss, or theft, often leading to irreversible losses. Turnkey eliminates these risks by replacing seed phrases with familiar authentication methods, such as biometrics, passkeys, or email authentication.
Hardened security with Nitro Enclaves
Turnkey uses AWS Nitro Enclaves, a type of Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), to ensure that raw private keys are never exposed to Turnkey or the app itself. The infrastructure supports multiple cryptographic curves, enabling signing for any asset on a supported curve.
How does the integration benefit Flare?
Turnkey introduces a range of benefits to both developers and users across the Flare ecosystem:
- Simplified Onboarding: Users can access their wallets and sign transactions with biometric authentication such as FaceID or TouchID, significantly reducing friction.
- Smart Wallet Signer: Transactions are smoother and more user-friendly with native support for gas sponsorship and account abstraction.
- Developer-friendly tooling: Developers can quickly integrate in-app wallets using Turnkey’s ready-to-use components and examples, including the Embedded Wallet Kit, streamlining the process of embedding wallets within dApps.
Additionally, the integration with Turnkey lines up well with Flare’s 2025 plans to continue expanding the network’s DeFi ecosystem. “Turnkey's embedded wallets align perfectly with Flare's vision of making DeFi more accessible,” says Hugo Philion, Co-Founder and CEO of Flare, when asked about the partnership. “By eliminating traditional seed phrases and enabling biometric authentication, we’re making blockchain technology more user-friendly while maintaining the security users expect.”
This Turnkey integration also opens doors for innovative use cases, such as single-click cross-chain swaps leveraging Flare’s upcoming FAssets. By lowering entry barriers and improving user experience, this integration paves the way for greater adoption of the Flare ecosystem.
