Ethereum founder proposes a new wallet interoperability solution: How existing accounts can become recovery backups

Vitalik Buterin recently proposed an interesting improvement suggestion for wallet functionality. He pointed out that many dApp applications currently feature embedded wallet functions, but these wallet systems often overlook an important user need during their design.

According to Vitalik, embedded wallets should have the ability to connect to the user’s existing wallets. Specifically, if a user is using a dApp with an integrated wallet and already holds an Ethereum wallet, the system should support using this existing wallet as a method for account recovery. This way, users do not need to create a new wallet from scratch but can directly use their existing asset account as a backup solution.

Walletbeat, as a wallet tracking platform, currently does not include embedded wallet products in its coverage. However, the platform has stated that it will gradually include such applications in its monitoring scope in the future, indicating that industry attention to embedded wallet functionality is increasing.

The suggestion proposed by Vitalik actually touches on the issue of interoperability within the wallet ecosystem. If flexible linking between different wallets can be achieved, it will not only reduce the learning curve for users but also enhance account security—users can protect their assets through multiple authentication points. This design concept may provide new reference directions for future wallet products.
