Web3 and the crypto ecosystem more broadly has historically had a chain centric worldview. We believe this is an outdated framework originating from a perceived scarcity in blockspace.
We believe an ecosystem wide transition towards an account centric worldview will enable the consolidation of an increasingly fragmented user experience.
At OneBalance we are developing a non-custodial account model to provide users with a seamless, account-centric experience. Our model introduces resource locks to accounts on credible commitment machines. OneBalance is a framework for managing these Credible Accounts. Our goal is to provide a missing component of the web3 stack that will help onboard the first billion humans onto crypto. You can learn more about the OneBalance vision here.
