Microsoft arbetar enligt uppgift på en Web3-plånbok: Detaljer

• Mjukvarudokumenterare och enstaka informationsläckare Albacore har avslöjat att teknikjätten Microsoft arbetar med en Web3-plånbok. 
• The Web3 wallet, if real, will be non-custodial in nature, integrated into the Edge Browser, and won’t function as an extension.
• Albacore tillhandahöll flera skärmdumpar av det förmodade Edge-användargränssnittet (UI) för att stödja deras påståenden.
• Web3-plånboken kommer att tillåta användare att köpa och sälja krypto, tillsammans med bytesfunktioner, med hjälp av kryptoplattformarna Coinbase och MoonPay.

Populariteten för Web3-plånböcker ökade markant efter 2021 års bull run på kryptomarknaden, eftersom många förstod deras användbarhet och flexibilitet. Intressant nog bestämde sig vissa stora företag för att skapa sina egna plånböcker och integrera dem i sina flaggskeppsprodukter, vilket gör att kunderna kan få exponering för blockchain-teknik. Intressant nog, enligt en läcka nyligen från mjukvarudokumenterare och enstaka informationsläckare, Albacore, arbetar teknikjätten Microsoft på en Web3-plånbok. 

Albacore pointed out that this Web3 wallet will be integrated into the Edge Browser, a proprietary, cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft and released in 2015. The info leaker proved their statement by sharing supposed Edge user interface (UI) screenshots displaying the early stages of Microsoft’s new Web3 wallet. 

“Newest in the gauntlet of questionable upcoming Microsoft Edge features, a crypto wallet is not really sure how to feel about this kind of thing being baked into the default browser,” Albacore pessimistically noted.

Inte riktigt säker på hur jag ska känna om att den här typen av saker bakas in i standardwebbläsaren, vad är dina tankar?

The first screenshot shared by Albacore consists of an introductory page that welcomes users to the Edge Wallet, along with a statement from Microsoft saying, “we encourage you to test our first Web3 wallet and provide candid feedback along the journey.”

It is crucial to note that if the information is true, Microsoft’s new Web3 wallet will be non-custodial, i.e., the Redmond, Washington-based company will not have any access to the passwords or recovery keys of the users. However, the wallet will also be “embedded in Edge” instead of being installed as a browser extension.

Å andra sidan några till skärmdumpar shared by Albacore confirm that the Web3 wallet will allow users to buy and sell crypto along with swapping features. Moreover, the platforms that will be used to allow purchases include the largest crypto exchange in the US, Coinbase, along with Web3 infrastructure firm MoonPay, as seen in the screenshots as integrated “platforms that help you purchase and deposit crypto to your wallet.”

Furthermore, when it comes to non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, the UI of Microsoft’s Web3 wallet simply states, “browse different marketplaces to find your first NFT, as you build your collection of NFTs, we’ll organize them here.”

Interestingly, this move from Microsoft seems to be an attempt to boost the popularity of Edge, which has mostly lagged behind industry leaders such as Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari.

Som rapporterats tidigare av BitcoinWisdom, gjorde amerikansk affärsmagnat och medgrundare av Microsoft, Bill Gates, klart att han är inte imponerad av NFT:er och kryptovalutor, claiming they are based on the “greater fool” theory.

“AI is the big one. I don’t think Web3 was that big or that metaverse stuff alone was revolutionary, but AI is quite revolutionary,” Gates recently said. 

Gates also had optimistic words for “generative AI,” a part of artificial intelligence that creates content. He expressed his delight in the new AI innovation ChatGPT, adding that the product “gives a glimpse of what is to come.”
