Additionally, its objective is to connect and unify currently segregated wallet systems into a cohesive experience that links users across various Web3 ecosystems, platforms, and services. Bybit Web3 will introduce multi-wallet integration, enabling users to manage both custodial and MPC wallets effortlessly.
Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, said: “Our Web3 vision is an extension of our promise to be the Crypto Ark, safeguarding user assets and seamlessly integrating them into the world of crypto. We want to help bridge more users from Web2 into Web3, by building a decentralized ecosystem that’s simpler, open, and equal for all.”
Users will be able to access decentralized applications, NFT marketplaces, and the full spectrum of Web3 features and services directly from the Bybit Wallet. This allows users to conveniently manage their decentralized finance portfolios, covering buying, selling, trading, swapping, and staking DeFi assets, all on a single platform.
As part of the integration of partners into the Web3 space, such as the Oracle Red Bull Racing Velocity series, Bybit plans to further enhance its Web3 infrastructure. This involves fostering partnerships with significant blockchain ecosystems and projects, along with the launch of its revamped NFT marketplace.
