Mac's Ethereum mobile wallets rant

Mac's Ethereum mobile wallets rant

AI summary of the linked article

The author, from the team behind Kiwi, argues that Ethereum will not reach real adoption until mobile wallet connections are fixed, and that Passkeys and Account Abstraction will not solve the problem. Kiwi, a PWA app for reading and discussing Ethereum content, has avoided embedded wallets to stay open and Ethereum-aligned. The author describes watching conference users struggle to connect wallets, including a Berlin user who spent 10 minutes trying three wallets. The post says MetaMask often fails on mobile, while Rainbow and Coinbase Wallet break intermittently, and that embedded wallets are not a full solution because they lock the dapp to a vendor. The author says the root cause is unknown and suggests investigating it.

Yes, mobile wallets can be a pain for sure. Personally iPhone + Orion PWA + Zerion wallet always works fast and seamlessly. (Just re-tested) But I know experiences can differ, and that is of course the point. Btw VPN can also sometimes be a factor complicating things.

Seems like iOS works much better than Android in general. But if Zerion always works there is hope that this is solvable on the wallet level :) BTW what's Orion?
