This post showcases how the Arcana Auth SDK accelerates user onboarding for Solana-based Web3 apps. By harnessing Solana's speed, scalability, and minimal transaction costs, developers can swiftly scale up their applications.

Arcana Auth now extends its support beyond EVM-compatible blockchains to include social login for Solana. This feature streamlines the onboarding experience for both developers and users within Web3 applications. Once authenticated, users can seamlessly access the Arcana Wallet directly within the app, empowering them to sign blockchain transactions without hassle.

‍Why Arcana Auth?‍

Solana is a high-performance blockchain platform known for its scalability, speed, and low transaction costs. However, the barrier to entry into the Solana ecosystem is very high for those new to Web3. Arcana Auth lowers this barrier by allowing users to easily onboard Solana apps and help developers leverage Solana’s innovative features at scale in real world Web3 apps.

In addition to supporting the secp256k1 curve used for EVM-Chains, the Arcana Auth SDK supports the  ED 25519 curve required for non-EVM chains such as Solana. Arcana's ADKG technology generates unique Solana Keys for authenticated users, ensuring secure blockchain interactions while safeguarding key ownership and privacy. Solana app users can instantly access the Arcana wallet without the need to own or create a separate wallet. This immediate access is enabled through Web2-style social login or a passwordless approach upon app login.

‍Using Arcana Auth ‍

Solana app developers can easily enable user onboarding in the Web3 apps with Arcana Auth in three steps:

‍Step 1: Register the app and configure Auth SDK usage via the Arcana Developer Dashboard. 

‍Step 2: App registration creates a unique app identifier. Use this app identifier or ‘clientId’ to integrate the app with the appropriate Arcana Auth SDK as per the app type, say a React App or Vue app or apps using wallet connectors, etc. 

Refer to the Solana Quick Start Guide for details on how to configure and manage Solana chains and add code for any of the supported Web3 wallet operations for Solana. 

‍Step 3: Finally, deploy the app on Arcana Testnet/Mainnet and you are all set. 

Users can onboard the deployed apps easily with Web2-style logins and full ownership of their Solana keys!

‍Conclusion‍

Arcana Auth SDK's integration into the Solana ecosystem, coupled with social logins and easy Wallet access, marks a significant advancement in Web3 Authentication infrastructure. Supporting the Non-EVM ecosystem demonstrates Arcana's commitment to a more inclusive and accessible decentralized internet future.‍
