What are the biggest mistakes businesses make when building their first Web3 wallet?

[Augustin Z]

Some of the biggest mistakes businesses make when building a Web3 wallet for the first time include:

• Ignoring security early on: Weak key management, poor encryption, or skipping multi-factor authentication can put assets at risk.

• Overcomplicating the user experience:  Complex interfaces or confusing flows discourage adoption, especially for non-crypto users.

• Choosing the wrong blockchain: Picking a network without considering fees, scalability, or ecosystem support can limit wallet usability.

• Neglecting compliance: Failing to address regulatory and legal requirements can lead to fines or operational issues.

• Skipping proper testing: Insufficient QA or security audits often result in bugs, vulnerabilities, or transaction failures.

• Lack of scalability planning: Not designing for growth can cause performance bottlenecks as user adoption increases.

These mistakes often cost time, money, and trust, so careful planning is important.

Not bad, actually useful. Looks basic, but people still screw this up all the time. Security and UX are the usual weak spots, seen plenty of wallets that feel sketchy or just неудобные to use. Choice of chain is a real issue too. Nothing new here, but still worth keeping in mind.
