Plaid has presented 1 V-Sum technical briefing. Plaid introduces Wallet Onboard — a Plaid product for crypto developers that brings the familiar Plaid "connect" experience to self-custody crypto wallets. Where Plaid has always linked bank accounts to fintechs, Wallet Onboard normalizes the fragmentation across hundreds of crypto wallets, multiple connection protocols, and the UX differences between MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, Ledger, and WalletConnect-compatible wallets. The demo shows auto-detection of installed extensions, per-wallet optimized flows (QR for mobile-only wallets, desktop app handoff for hardware), direct wallet-to-app data flow with no Plaid intermediary on wallet addresses, and a drop-in vanilla JavaScript SDK that takes roughly an hour to integrate — plus auto-updates for new wallets and protocols delivered via cdn.plaid.com. Use cases span token gating, NFT mint, holdings tracking, payouts, and message-signature-based authentication.
