Research: Web2 wallet experience

[mz7mz7mz7]

Context: some of our investors will be crypto-savvy and will use their MetaMask or other wallets directly. But some of the investors will be new to crypto and would not have even wallet.

Task: Find an in-browser wallet provider that we could integrate with and offer web2-like experience in interactive with our app.

Possibly we should do simple PoC with each of promising solution?

Some of the criteria to take into account:

1. We might decide to compensate for gas for some/all the transactions, so the wallet should offer gaslessness experience.
2. We might offer people to pay for their gas but using non-native token, eg USDT, the wallet provider should offer it too.
3. It should be secure, ie we as a platform should not have access to clients' private keys.
4. It should offer some form of recovery of access to the wallet if the normal access was lost/forgotten.
5. Ideally it should offer 1-click wallets via e-mail, and eg Google/Microsoft SSO integration.
6. Costs for us as an organization.
7. Costs for our clients.
8. How widely is it used now, what are the reference clients/projects.
