The Reown UX Roundup: A look back at 2024
2024: A Transformative Year for Onchain UX
This year has been nothing short of transformative for Reown, as well as the broader ecosystem. From our rebranding from WalletConnect Inc. to unveiling gamechanging products and features, 2024 was defined by evolution, growth, and acceleration. Amidst a booming industry and pivotal global events like the U.S. election, we scaled our team and solutions to meet surging demand, charting a bold new course for onchain innovation.
To our partners and users, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Whether you participated in hackathons, collaborated on leading projects, or contributed to case studies, your involvement was instrumental in shaping our journey. Together, we’ve worked toward a shared vision of an exceptional onchain UX, and your efforts have helped us to propel our ecosystem of builders forward.
As we reflect on 2024, we celebrate tremendous growth—not just for Reown, but for our customers, who have managed to expand their own ecosystems with our varying product releases from across the year. These achievements fuel our passion and reinforce our commitment to innovation and collaboration as we step into 2025. As we look toward an exciting year ahead, we’ve unpacked our top highlights from the past 12 months in the year’s final Reown UX Roundup.
Product Innovations Built to Redefine UX
Unlocking Multi-Chain Connectivity
In 2024, we expanded our multi-chain support to include two industry giants: Solana and Bitcoin. This milestone marks a pivotal step toward creating a truly seamless onchain ecosystem, enabling developers to access broader user bases and foster interoperability across diverse onchain environments. By bridging these networks, we’re working with builders to empower users with unparalleled connectivity and functionality.
Reown AppKit: Refreshed and Enhanced
Formerly known as Web3Modal, Reown AppKit underwent a significant transformation in 2024. With cutting-edge upgrades, a plethora of feature additions, and developer-first tools, AppKit became the go-to solution for building scalable, user-friendly onchain apps for thousands of builders. Enhanced capabilities like seamless integrations and improved SDKs ensure developers have everything they need to create industry-leading experiences.
UI/UX Redesign: A Bold, Simplified Experience
This year, we introduced a revamped UI/UX across our platforms, designed to make onboarding effortless and interactions intuitive. By prioritizing simplicity and usability, these updates aimed to set new benchmarks for user experience in web3.
Milestones and Community Highlights
Expanding Horizons with Bitcoin and Solana
Our support for Bitcoin and Solana wasn’t just about adding more chains—it was about breaking barriers. By integrating these leading networks, we unlocked new possibilities for developers and users alike. Builders can now tap into Bitcoin’s robust infrastructure and Solana’s high-performance capabilities, creating experiences that are faster, more secure, and more connected than ever before.
WalletCon 2024: A Convergence of Visionaries
This year’s WalletCon was a major moment for UX, bringing together over 800 industry pioneers, developers, and enthusiasts to celebrate and accelerate innovation. From showcasing our latest advancements to highlighting our partners’ achievements, WalletCon served as a hub for collaboration, inspiration, and thought leadership.
Pulse Report: Illuminating Onchain Trends
In early 2024, we launched the Pulse Report, a comprehensive analysis of emerging onchain trends. Packed with actionable insights, this report provided our partners with the data they need to stay ahead of the curve while solidifying Reown’s position as a trusted authority in the onchain space.
Catalyzing Ecosystem Growth
Our mission to enhance onchain UX extends beyond our products. In 2024, we spearheaded initiatives that drove meaningful change, from leading hackathons for over 3K builders to amplifying underrepresented voices in the web3 community, underscoring our dedication to fostering a vibrant, inclusive ecosystem where innovation can thrive.
2025: Charting a Bold Future
Scaling Multi-Chain Support
In the coming year, we’ll expand Reown’s multi-chain capabilities to include emerging and established networks. This growth will provide developers with greater flexibility and users with seamless cross-chain interactions, further advancing our vision of a truly connected onchain ecosystem.
Building for Compliance Without Compromise
With evolving regulations like the Travel Rule reshaping the industry, Reown’s efforts remain at the forefront of compliance innovation. In 2025, we’ll enhance AppKit’s features to streamline regulatory adherence, ensuring our customers can meet global standards without sacrificing user experience or functionality.
Next-Level Enhancements for AppKit and WalletKit
Innovation is the cornerstone of Reown’s mission. In 2025, we’re introducing advanced enhancements to Reown AppKit and WalletKit, including tools that simplify integration, improve scalability, and optimize user retention. These updates will empower developers to create apps that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate tomorrow’s opportunities.
Introducing the Reown Analytics Platform
In response to your feedback, we’ll soon be releasing the Reown Analytics Platform—an all-in-one dashboard uncovering catered, in-depth analytics for our customers. This powerful tool will deliver unparalleled insights into user behavior and the broader crypto ecosystem, giving developers and businesses the data they need to make informed, growth-driven decisions.
