Ecosystem V3: Improvements and on UX and DevEx

We’re excited to release Ecosystem Wallet v3, a major update designed to make cross-app wallets more native and developer-friendly. This version introduces responsive dialogs, deeper theme customization, and an agnostic signer architecture that works with any wallet solution.

What is Openfort Ecosystem V3?

Ecosystem V3 is the latest version of our SDK for building unified "global" wallets across different applications. It replaces traditional popups with responsive browser dialogs for a better user experience across mobile and desktop. It also features an agnostic signer architecture, meaning developers can now integrate any third-party authentication or hardware wallet solution into their ecosystem without being locked into a specific provider.

Update today with our simple installation command:


_10
npm i @openfort/ecosystem-js@latest

Openfort Ecosystem SDK now has 700+ weekly downloads on npm, a 10x increase since our V2 release 3 months ago.

All-new responsive UI design

We understand that modern on-chain users expect seamless experiences across all their devices. That's why we've completely redesigned our UI to be fully responsive and adaptive.

Our V3 interface automatically adjusts to provide an optimal experience whether users are on desktop browsers, tablets, or mobile devices. This is a significant improvement over V2, which primarily focused on desktop interactions.

The responsive design ensures:

  • Perfect scaling on any screen size
  • Touch-optimized controls for mobile users
  • Consistent branding across all platforms
  • Native-like experience on smartphones

This enhancement is particularly valuable for gaming applications and dApps targeting mobile-first audiences.

Advanced customization options

In V2, customization options were limited. With V3, we've introduced extensive theming capabilities that give you complete control over your wallet's appearance:

  1. Flexible theming system You can now use the themes from ConnectKit as well directly on your cross-app wallet.

  2. Multiple display strategies

    • Iframe embedding for seamless in-app experiences
    • Popup windows for more traditional interactions
    • Native mobile containers for app-like experiences
  3. Component-level customization Modify individual UI elements to create a truly unique wallet experience.

Agnostic signer architecture

One of the most significant improvements in V3 is our new agnostic signer architecture. This fundamental change allows developers to:

  • Use any wallet provider or key management solution
  • Integrate with hardware wallets more easily
  • Implement third-party authentication flows

The V2 architecture was tightly coupled to specific wallet implementations, but V3 opens up a world of possibilities through a flexible, provider-agnostic approach.

Effortless developer setup

Getting other developers to get started with your ecosystem wallet is now faster than ever. We improved part of our permission system, and as of now its not required that they use API keys when using a new ecosystem.

Moreover, one of the coolest features is that now you can also create your own browser extension for the ecosystem wallet. Letting your community also interact with any app on browser and connecting the wallet wherever they go.

Enhanced mobile experience

V3 brings significant improvements to the mobile experience:

  • Native-feeling interactions replace the popup-only approach of V2
  • Streamlined transaction signing optimized for touch interfaces
  • Improved passkey support for secure biometric authentication
  • Better performance on resource-constrained devices

The V2 wallet relied on popups for transaction signing, which was problematic on mobile devices. V3 integrates directly into mobile interfaces, creating a smoother, more intuitive experience.
