Crypto wallets will evolve into ‘filing cabinets’ by 2030: Crypto exec

Reown CEO Jess Houlgrave believes crypto wallets will transition into a “collection of wallets and accounts that can interact with each other.”

The term “crypto wallet” may disappear within the next six years, as users will begin to rely on the technology for much more than just storing cryptocurrency, according to Jess Houlgrave, CEO of the onchain UX platform Reown.

Speaking to Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, Houlgrave believes that crypto wallets will evolve into more of a “life hub,” by 2030. When asked how she pictures that in more detail, she compared it to “digital filing cabinets,” where different parts of a user’s life — like medical records, education credentials, and tickets — will be securely stored and managed.

While she acknowledged that some users may remain skeptical of connecting so much of their lives to a digital wallet, she believes the systems will become far more secure, making it much harder for sensitive information to be swiped like cryptocurrency has in recent times.

Ledger vulnerability put entire DApp ecosystem at risk: Finance Redefined

The Ledger connector vulnerability put the entire DeFi ecosystem at risk, with market experts asking users to remain cautious of using DApps even after Ledger released a patch.

Welcome to Finance Redefined, your weekly dose of essential decentralized finance (DeFi) insights — a newsletter crafted to bring you the most significant developments from the past week.

The past week in DeFi saw an unprecedented chain of events unfold on Dec. 14 when a malicious actor exploited a vulnerability in the Ledger hardware wallet’s connector library. The exploit put the entire decentralized application (DApp) ecosystem at risk. On-chain analysts and DApps like SushiSwap and MetaMask advised users not to interact with their wallets at all.

Ledger released a patch within hours to contain the vulnerability, but the exploiter drained over $650,000 in assets from multiple victims. However, considering the number of wallets and DApps at risk, the drained amount was considerably lower than it could have been.

How the Ledger Connect hacker tricked users into making malicious approvals

According to Cyvers, the attacker caused malicious code to be inserted into multiple app user interfaces, allowing the exploiter to fool users into confirming transactions.

The ‘Ledger hacker’ who siphoned away at least $484,000 from multiple Web3 apps on Dec. 14 did so by tricking Web3 users into making malicious token approvals, according to the team behind blockchain security platform Cyvers.

According to public statements made by multiple parties involved, the hack occurred on the morning of Dec. 14. The attacker used a phishing exploit to compromise the computer of a former Ledger employee, gaining access to the employee’s node package manager javascript (NPMJS) account.

When a developer first writes their app, they usually install a connect kit through Node Package Manager (NPM). After creating a build and uploading it to their site, their app will contain the connect kit as part of its code, which will then be downloaded into the user’s browser whenever the user visits the site.
