Understanding Particle Connect

Particle Connect takes a middle-ground position within Particle Network's Wallet-as-a-Service tech stack. It sits between Particle Auth (for social logins) and Particle Wallet (as an interaction interface).

Particle Connect is an in-house connection modal and component enabling users to connect with dApps through either Web2-based accounts (through Particle Auth with Google, Twitter, email, phone, etc.) or Web3-native wallets (such as MetaMask, Phantom, etc.). Whether a user would like to login through a social account, or through their MetaMask wallet, Particle Connect exists to be the singular interface facilitating both of these methods of connecting to a dApp.

In this sense, Particle Connect can be best described as an SSO for Web3, offering a strong method of onboarding users regardless of their comfort level or personal integration within Web3. This ultimately lowers the entry barrier within applications without resulting in a clunky experience for Web3-native users; instead, the experience is standardized across both mediums.
