In addition to using cash or credit cards to buy things at convenience stores or department stores, people are also accustomed to using mobile payment, which is also called “embedded finance”.<h1>What is embedded finance?</h1>Embedded finance refers to the use of financial instruments by non-financial enterprises. It allows any type of company or online store to integrate banking software directly into the company's own website or application without having to divert consumers to a third-party portal. Customers will no longer need to enter their credit card details for every transaction, for example, and will be able to make online installments, get insurance and so on.The benefits of embedded finance include better consumer experience, which enables consumers to carry out related financial transactions while using products or services, reducing the trouble of switching platforms. Because of the convenience, consumers are more likely to linger on the website to buy goods or services, which brings opportunities to increase profits.However, embedded finance is not just more convenient. It also brings financial services closer to consumers' daily lives, broadening the reach and popularity of services, and it is also a tool for better understanding of consumers and their spending habits and needs, data that can later be used to drive richer business development.Under the general trend of embedded finance, and because of the increasing popularity of virtual currency and virtual assets, WaaS (Wallet-as-a-Service), a combination of the two, will be the next business opportunity in the field of fintech!<h1>What is a wallet?</h1>In the world of Web3, a wallet is a digital wallet that can be used to store and manage digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, NFT, etc. Virtual assets are not actually stored in digital wallets, but are recorded in the blockchain, and users use a private key to prove that the virtual asset on the blockchain belongs to "you" or "this address". One form of wallet is an application that allows users to securely store and receive digital assets.In principle, a wallet is a "container" that can generate a virtual currency address, manage all available currencies, and perform any transaction through the wallet. Just as in the real world there is a bank account that holds your money, from which you withdraw and deposit money, in the virtual world a wallet plays a similar role, only it holds virtual assets. The virtual wallet will have an address and private key, which also corresponds to the bank account number and password.In short, the wallet can be likened to: a tool to connect to the Web3 world, but also a Web3 identity card.<h1>What is WaaS?</h1>So what is Wallet-as-a-Service in the Web3 world? WaaS is a cloud-based financial service that provides a virtual wallet that enables users to securely store, manage and use digital currencies and assets over the network. Usually provided by a third-party provider, users can use it anytime and anywhere. It can be used to deposit and withdraw digital currencies, trade cryptocurrencies, manage digital asset management, etc. WaaS allows consumers or enterprises to build an online platform for users to store and manage digital assets without the need for blockchain technology capabilities. The associated service provider, which typically provides wallet security and encrypts private keys, provides a user-friendly interface for users to manage their assets.<h2>Help enterprises painless access Web3: KryptoGO WaaS wallet as a Service</h2>Wallet as a Service（WaaS） provided by KryptoGO is a one-stop service based on the Web3 infrastructure platform.

Shiny new Wallet view, button to change chains, and the consistent bug fixes across our products.

Biweekly Dev Update: March 22th, 2023

Blockchain technology has been a hot topic and has forced major financial institutions to invest resources to take advantage of it. All business verticals are now devoting resources to the blockchain, and the technology has gained tremendous momentum in the past few months.From startups to enterprises and even the Fortune 500, investment in blockchain technology has exceeded expectations, making cryptocurrency wallet application development one of the most booming industries today.The global cryptocurrency wallet market is reportedly worth $252 million in 2021 and is expected to grow to approximately $686 million by 2028.<h2>Global Blockchain Wallet User Base</h2>This chart shows the number of global blockchain wallet users from November 2011 to August 2022.<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/kryptogo-website.appspot.com/public/cms/E427_A470_DCF_4_4_D8_C_A6_A0_E6_EBF_4_C30893_b62fb00f5f/E427_A470_DCF_4_4_D8_C_A6_A0_E6_EBF_4_C30893_b62fb00f5f.png"></figure>As the demand for cryptocurrency wallets rises, more and more fintech-inspired businesses are making cryptocurrency wallets part of their revenue and business models.The cost to develop such a cryptocurrency wallet application can range from approximately $25,000 to $200,000 depending on many factors such as feature list, UI/UX design, overall complexity, the time required for development, and location of the development agency hired.Before considering developing a cryptocurrency wallet, read <a href="https://www.kryptogo.com/blog/a-guide-to-different-types-of-crypto-wallets">this guide to learn about the different types of wallets to determine the type of blockchain wallet needed.</a><h2>Understanding the Development Costs of Cryptocurrency Wallets</h2>The development cost of a cryptocurrency wallet application varies depending on the complexity of the application, and on average ranges from about $25,000 to $200,000.For example, a simple application with a basic list of features can cost between $25,000 and $60,000, while a full-fledged application with an extensive list of features can cost around $200,000. In addition to complexity, the average hourly wage of a developer is also a factor in cost.Based on the complexity of the application and the time frame required for development, the estimated cost range is as follows.<figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>Complexity</th><th>Cost</th><th>Time</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Simple</td><td>$25,000 to $60,000</td><td>3 to 6 months</td></tr><tr><td>Moderate</td><td>$60,000 to $100,000</td><td>6 to 8 months</td></tr><tr><td>Highly complex</td><td>$100,000 to $200,000</td><td>9+ months</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>The development process of a cryptocurrency wallet application includes steps such as requirements analysis, prototyping, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.Therefore, the skill level and experience of the developer also affect the development cost. Understanding the different types and list of features of cryptocurrency wallets, as well as the complexity of the application, is an important factor in determining the development cost.<h2>Elements that determine cryptocurrency wallet development costs</h2>The complexity of developing a cryptocurrency wallet application is influenced by a number of factors. One of the important factors is the feature set of the application, as well as the technology stack and design elements that support it.The size of the application is also another factor that affects the overall cost. The larger the number of features integrated with a blockchain, token, NFT, or DApp, the larger the application and therefore the higher the development cost.In order to control the cost, developing a MVP (Minimum Viable Product) version is a more cost-effective approach. The initial release focuses only on the core functionality to provide the best customer experience. Later, the development of a mature cryptocurrency wallet application can continue to be iterative, supporting a wider range of features.Design is also an important factor. A non-complex and attractive design is critical to the success of a cryptocurrency wallet. UI/UX design plans will cost more to develop, but the investment will be worth it in the long run.Team size is another important factor that affects development costs. Choosing a full team of project managers, designers, and developers will cost more overall than hiring a freelancer. However, a professional team can help you develop a strong product and provide a unique user experience for your customer base.A standard cryptocurrency wallet application development team typically includes a project manager, two back-end developers, two iOS/Android developers, a designer, and one or two quality assurance testers.The choice of technology stack also affects development costs. Modern technology stacks can further place your mobile application at the forefront of digital innovation. Here are the technology stacks we use to develop cryptocurrency wallets.The features added to a cryptocurrency wallet application can further impact its overall cost. A simple cryptocurrency wallet application with a basic feature list costs about $25,000 to $40,000. On the other hand, a mobile wallet application with a multifaceted list of features, including chat room trading, KYC verification, OTC trading, etc., is bound to cost around $200,000 or more.<h2>Basic functions necessary for cryptocurrency wallets</h2>As technology evolves, it is no longer like the early days of cryptocurrency, when the experience of wallets was usually very poor.The standards for cryptocurrency wallets are getting higher and higher, and today, a cryptocurrency wallet application needs to include at least the following basic features.<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/kryptogo-website.appspot.com/public/cms/Wallet_Features_001_21083d9d59/Wallet_Features_001_21083d9d59.jpeg"></figure><ol><li>Accounting: provides users with the ability to register a new wallet or restore an existing one.</li><li>Cryptocurrency - Buy: which allows users to buy cryptocurrency in their wallet with FIAT currency</li><li>Cryptocurrency - Swap: which allows users to trade different tokens across chains within a wallet and update the currency value in real-time</li><li>Address Book: which provides a model for managing the addresses users frequently use for digital currency transactions to facilitate quick transactions.</li><li>Push Notification: which keep users informed of wallet activity, such as changes in digital currency prices, successful or unsuccessful transactions, etc.</li><li>Key Management (Import / Export): which allows users to scan paper bitcoin wallets with QR codes and add the key to the wallet for transactions.</li><li>Trading (Send / Receive): which provides users with the ability to send and receive digital currency within a wallet, which must be secure against hacking and have fast performance.</li><li>Digital Collectibles (NFT Gallery): which provides the function of displaying NFT pictures.</li><li>Token Display: In addition to blockchain native tokens, other derivative tokens, such as ERC20, can be automatically discovered and manipulated.</li><li>QR Code Scan: which provides QR code scanning function to facilitate users to view blockchain addresses, DApp links or conduct cryptocurrency transactions.</li></ol>The most important technical threshold for cryptocurrency wallet development is security, in addition to the basic functionality required.Building a secure cryptocurrency wallet application with all the features requires the support of a technology stack that is developed and assembled in a way that will provide a fast, scalable, and hacker-proof solution. The choice of technology stack plays a leading role in determining the development cost of a cryptocurrency wallet application.There must be a proper and well-tested security protocol in the development process and code review mechanism, because once the private key is compromised, the company, brand, and product cannot be trusted by the user again. In applications, it is necessary to ensure that every aspect of the user's use is hacker-proof. For example, adding security mechanisms such as two-step verification or multiple signatures can add multiple layers of security to a wallet application.<h2>Cost breakdown of cryptocurrency wallets</h2>Taking into account all the features, technology overlap, and resource investment to develop a basic functional cryptocurrency wallet application, the development cost is estimated as follows.<figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>Function</th><th>Cost</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Backend</td><td>$10,000 - $15,000</td></tr><tr><td>Android</td><td>$27,000 - $32,000</td></tr><tr><td>iOS</td><td>$20,000 - $28,000</td></tr><tr><td>Web/Desktop</td><td>$7,000 - $10,000</td></tr><tr><td>Design</td><td>$8,000 - $10,000</td></tr><tr><td>QA/PM</td><td>$5,000 - $8,000</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Total: $90,000- $100,000.This cost estimate is for reference only and the actual cost will vary depending on the requirements and implementation method.As the demand for cryptocurrency and the standards for the experience continues to rise, some online merchants have offered the option to "pay with cryptocurrency" on their apps and websites.This integration has become an alternative to cryptocurrency wallets for businesses that want to have a partial blockchain experience without investing resources in developing it from scratch. Some third-party providers offer this option to embed a wallets SDK in existing applications to enable cryptocurrency payments. Embedded wallets require less than half the development cost than developing a full wallet application yourself.<h2>How do I build a cryptocurrency wallet application?</h2>Let us provide you with clearer and more specific advice on how to build a cryptocurrency wallet application.<ol><li>Understanding Blockchain and Cryptocurrency: In order to build a successful cryptocurrency wallet application, you need to have a basic understanding of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Blockchain is a decentralized database capable of securely storing data, as well as executing secure and reliable transactions. Understanding these basic concepts will help you better design and develop your wallet application. 2.</li><li>Use a software development kit (SDK): This can help you simplify your development process. These kits can provide support for data storage, security, blockchain integration, transactions, and more. For example, the BitcoinJ SDK and Coinbase SDK are two free toolkits that can help you quickly develop cryptocurrency wallet applications.</li><li>Use feature-rich APIs: APIs can help you better integrate your cryptocurrency wallet applications. Coinbase, Bitcore, SimpleSwap, and Factom are some of the popular APIs that can help you develop your wallet application faster.</li><li>Choose the right cloud platform: The right cloud platform can help you manage your application more efficiently. If you want to develop a web platform, PaaS may be a good choice. If you want to develop a mobile application, BaaS may be a better choice. Amazon, Azure, and Microsoft offer BaaS providers that can help you develop your wallet applications faster. 5.</li><li>Choose the right technology stack: Choosing a mobile app powered by the latest technology can help you stay ahead of the competition. For native Android apps, you can build them in Java or Kotlin; for iOS apps, Swift or Objective-C is the preferred choice.</li><li>Secure the application: Cryptocurrency wallets must adhere to all necessary security parameters to protect data at all times. Adding additional security layers such as Face ID, data encryption, two-factor authentication, etc. are some of the ways to ensure that your wallet application meets every security specification.</li><li>Application Development: Before entering the development phase, a thorough competitive analysis must be conducted to determine the list of required features. The entire development process includes application design, code writing, and extensive application testing to ensure that the developed cryptocurrency wallet application meets expectations.</li></ol><h2>How dos KryptoGO help with crypto wallet development?</h2>The cost criteria for building a blockchain application depends on a variety of factors such as the open-source tools used, the development team, vertical domain analysis, and functional integration.

How Much Does It Cost to Develop a Cryptocurrency Wallet on Blockchain?

The digital currency frenzy continues to grow as more individuals and industries adopt Bitcoin and altcoins. While buying and selling virtual currency is pretty straightforward, there is still much ambiguity about cryptocurrency wallets. A number of questions abound - what is a blockchain wallet, are cryptocurrency wallets safe, are they anonymous, which cryptocurrency wallet is the best, and so on?This blog will act as your one-stop guide to blockchain wallets, where you will get a no-jargon account of cryptocurrency wallets, their benefits, and much more.<h2>What is a Blockchain Wallet?</h2>A blockchain wallet is one of three pillars of the blockchain industry that holds the private and public keys of all bitcoins in your possession. They are not physical pocket wallets, and they don’t hold any real coins or currency. They are software programs that hold the unique address of your digital currency. They not only store your cryptocurrency but also transact them using blockchain transactions. It allows you to interface with various blockchains in the system and holds your bitcoin balance. It’s almost like a Cash wallet, except it doesn’t hold any physical currency. If you wish to purchase or spend Bitcoins, you need a Bitcoin or multi-currency wallet of some type.Now that we’ve explained what cryptocurrency wallets are, let’s move on to the next part of this guide and look into how they work.<h2>How do Blockchain Wallets Work?</h2>Cryptocurrency wallets reflect your account balance - your Bitcoins, your ICO tokens, and any other digital assets you own. These wallets for cryptocurrency work like a bank locker. We don’t share our locker with others and we keep our locker keys safe. We follow the same principles in crypto wallets. When you create a crypto wallet, a private key is generated. This should be safeguarded and not shared with untrusted entities. A public key is also generated. This has to be shared with people who wish to transfer your crypto. When a person sends you crypto, they will include the private key of their Bitcoins and the public key of your wallet. Thereafter, transactions can be completed, and new Bitcoins can reach your account. When you spend some Bitcoins from your wallet, you are essentially signing off their ownership to the other person. For doing this, the private key of your Bitcoins must match the public address of the receiver. Then only, Bitcoins are transferred and your wallet balance reduces. The whole transaction is encrypted and added to the relevant blockchain, and wallet balances of the two involved parties show changes.Now that we understand how blockchain wallets work, let’s look at the benefits of using them.<h2>Benefits of Blockchain Wallets</h2><ul><li>Cryptocurrency wallets never run out of space. You can store a vast number of cryptocurrencies at one place.</li><li>These digital wallets let you hold and operate with multiple currencies in an organized manner.</li><li>They have a balance checker that tells you instantly how much balance is available, where and when the last transaction occurred, etc.</li><li>These wallets even have a notes accessory where you can jot down any special remarks about a particular transaction or Bitcoin to help you recall later. So, blockchain wallets are not just currency keepers, they are auditors and trackers too.</li></ul><h3>Uses of Cryptocurrency Wallets in the Business World</h3>Bitcoin and blockchain technology are more than just trends; they find wide use and benefit in major industry segments such as Fintech, Healthcare, Education, Supply Chain, Economics, IoT, and Security. Investing in blockchain app development can provide exponential returns and wide visibility in this expanding domain. For any blockchain or Bitcoin transaction to take place, cryptocurrency wallet setup is a must. Therefore, understanding the different types of wallets available in the marketplace is crucial before hiring a reputed blockchain app development company to create a cryptocurrency wallet app.<h2>Understanding the Different Types of Cryptocurrency Wallets</h2>Cryptocurrency wallets come in various types, including desktop, mobile, online, hardware, paper, brain, and multi-sig wallets. Knowing the differences between each type is crucial in selecting the best wallet for one’s needs.In general, crypto wallets can be categorized into three types: software, hardware, and paper. Software wallets can be designed for desktop or mobile use and are downloadable through web browsers. Hardware wallets, on the other hand, are physical devices that can be purchased from computer accessory stores. Lastly, paper wallets can be written out or printed and contain a public key in QR form.Here is a more detailed breakdown of each type of cryptocurrency wallet:Desktop WalletsDesktop wallets are software programs that can be downloaded onto a laptop or PC. They can operate even when not connected to the internet, and various types are available for different operating systems.Online Web WalletsOnline web wallets are maintained on the cloud by third parties and require internet connectivity to function. Since private keys of these wallets are accessible via the cloud, they are the least secure option. However, large institutions that have multiple co-signatories for a wallet prefer these types of wallets.Paper WalletsPaper wallets store the private key and public address in QR form. They are safe and can be printed out and sealed for greater security. However, they are often prone to humidity and fire hazards.Hardware / Cold WalletsHardware wallets resemble tiny flash drives and are safe and easy to use. These cold storage devices are ideal for transferring private keys and can withstand hazards, unlike paper wallets.
