However, while the on-chain user experience has improved, there are ongoing issues with fragmentation of the wallet and the entire chain. Wallet usage has increased, with 62% of users managing two or more wallets. The interoperability gap is also a major cause of this trend, along with increasing security needs.
When it comes to using mobile wallets, consumers still value them, but are heading towards using hardware and exchange-based wallets. Interestingly, 48% allocate different wallets to the chain, and 44% have additional wallets to ensure security.
Use cases for stability growth and shift
Ownership of Stablecoin has increased from 20% to 37% in a year, changing usage to move to risky, practical applications such as remitting and savings. However, this growth is taking place, with 12% of users listing payments as their main use case. The most commonly held assets are still Bitcoin, with 64% of users holding them in their portfolio.
Additionally, it shows different behaviors for users and users. The fact that 54% believe decentralized payments and social apps are the future suggests that transactions are still leading the way. However, developers are in a position to fill this gap and improve the usability and usefulness of all developers.
Security and interoperability continue to be key priorities
The spirit has improved slightly as 69% of users reported being secure with crypto tools, in contrast to 50.5% last year. Still, 21% of users are affected by phishing attacks. This means that there is a need for a protective UX design. Furthermore, while most of these respondents viewed seamless cross-chain access as important, 5% said interoperability was not important.
Additionally, the report cites growing interest in AI wallet capabilities, gas-free transactions, and intelligent routing. These features reflect the demands of users that have evolved to guide a simplified, secure, flexible on-chain experience into their desires. rewown and Nansen emphasize the importance of higher Onchin UXS to enhance adoption by all consumers and institutional segments.
