Self Chain Forms a Strategic Partnership with Snowball
It’s been 16 years since the inception of crypto, and as of 2024, global adoption sits at roughly 10% of the world’s population.
While that represents significant progress, wider adoption has been slowed by two persistent challenges: how users access web3 and how they represent identity across chains.
On one side, interacting with blockchains still requires private keys, raw addresses, and transaction-heavy UX that intimidates even experienced users.
On the other, digital identity remains fragmented; users juggle dozens of wallets and addresses, none of which are intuitive or human-friendly.
We’re excited to announce that Self Chain today has formed a strategic partnership with Snowball to formalize the missing user experience layer that will onboard billions into Web3.
Together, we will deliver a universal identity and payments system that makes crypto as simple as sending a text.
What the Integration Unlocks
By integrating with Self Chain AI-powered Intent and Keyless Wallet SDK, Snowball will unlock a new level of simplicity in Web3 transactions.
🟣 AI-Powered Simplicity
Self Chain’s Keyless Wallet and AI Intent SDK allow users to interact with Web3 in plain language rather than through transactions.
🟣 Natural Commands
Instructions like “Send 100 USDT to @superman on Arbitrum” or “Claim @alice as my identity” are executed instantly without manual signing or switching networks.
🟣 Frictionless Experience
Users no longer deal with long wallet addresses or chain switching. Sending funds or setting intents becomes as simple as typing a name, making Web3 feel as natural as sending a message.
Why This Partnership Matters
For Users → Web3 becomes as intuitive as Venmo and as universal as owning a domain.
For Developers → A unified identity + payments API with AI-driven simplicity.
For the Ecosystem → Restores confidence in Self Chain under Snowball’s governance, transparency, and leadership.
“This partnership is about removing the last barrier to mass adoption,” said Parul Gujral, CEO of Snowball.
“Together with Self Chain, we’re making Web3 human-first: one name, one intent, one universal identity.”
