Proposal Discussion
1
  1. Introduction

The cryptocurrency landscape is rapidly evolving, with users seeking seamless and secure ways to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) and Web3 services. By incorporating a built in internet browser, the Shapeshift FOX mobile app can become a comprehensive platform, enabling users to explore the decentralized web without relying on external applications.

  1. Benefits of Integration

Enhanced User Experience: A built in browser allows users to access dApps, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and other Web3 services directly within the wallet, streamlining interactions and reducing the need to switch between multiple apps.

Increased Security: By providing an integrated browsing environment, users are protected from potential security risks associated with third party browsers and extensions. This controlled ecosystem ensures that interactions with dApps are secure and trustworthy.

Competitive Advantage: While some wallets offer dApp browsers, many still require external applications for web interactions. By integrating a browser, Shapeshift FOX positions itself as a leader in innovation, offering a feature rich platform that caters to the needs of modern crypto users.

  1. Comparative Analysis

Several existing platforms have recognized the value of integrated browsing capabilities:

MetaMask: Offers a mobile app with a built-in browser, enabling users to interact with dApps seamlessly.

Opera Browser: Incorporates a crypto wallet and Web3 support, allowing users to access decentralized websites directly.

By adopting a similar approach, Shapeshift FOX can provide a unified experience that meets and exceeds current market standards.

  1. User Acquisition and Retention

Integrating a browsing feature can positively impact user metrics:
Attracting New Users**: A comprehensive app that combines wallet functionalities with browsing capabilities appeals to users seeking convenience and security, making it a compelling choice over competitors.

Enhancing Engagement: Users are more likely to engage with an app that offers all-in-one solutions, leading to increased activity and loyalty.

Community Building: Facilitating easy access to dApps and Web3 services fosters a vibrant user community, encouraging collaboration and growth within the Shapeshift ecosystem.

  1. Implementation Considerations

User Interface Design: Ensure the integrated browser is intuitive and seamlessly blends with existing app features.

Security Measures: Implement robust security protocols to protect users from malicious sites and phishing attempts.

Performance Optimization: Optimize the browser for speed and efficiency to provide a smooth user experience.

While I like this idea and nothing prevents it being a proposal, there is a Canny for feature requests too: https://shapeshift.canny.io/

One thing about our mobile app is that it is pretty bare-bone currently, it is a “wrapper” around our current browser app (https://app.shapeshift.com/) and basically this means you are browsing this website within a native mobile app. So integrating a browser within a browser can not easily done cleanly… In this context we’re much more limited to create what you suggest directly, without actually writing proper native mobile apps and the integrate a browser in them. This definitely would imply a huge Engineering effort based on my knowledge of the current app/mobile app.
