Announcing Openfort for Solana


> "Openfort has been transformative for our ecosystem. We've eliminated the traditional barriers of Web3 while preserving true asset ownership, allowing everyday users to effortlessly participate in our decentralized computing network." — Gaimin team

## The Challenge: Complex web3 onboarding creating barriers for DePIN adoption

[Gaimin](gaimin.io) operates a pioneering decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that enables users to monetize their idle PC power through the gaimin.gg platform. Their network harnesses unused computing resources to power AI processing and file-sharing services for businesses and individuals. However, their ambitious vision of building a widely-accessible decentralized computing network faced significant technical barriers.

"Before implementing Openfort, our DePIN participants experienced multiple friction points that hampered network growth," explains the Gaimin team. "They were forced to redirect to third-party Web3 wallets, navigate complex wallet setup processes, and manage cryptic private keys—all substantial barriers for mainstream users who simply wanted to monetize their idle computing resources."

The challenges were multi-faceted:

- **Wallet Connectivity Issues:** Network participants had to leave the GAIMIN platform to connect external wallets, creating a disjointed experience.

- **Wallet Creation Complexity:** The traditional Web3 onboarding process, requiring seed phrase management, was overwhelming for non-crypto-native users wanting to join the network.

- **Gas Fee Complications:** Users needed to purchase and manage native tokens for each blockchain just to cover transaction fees, adding unnecessary complexity to the reward process.

- **Fragmented User Experience:** Gaimin needed to maintain a seamless experience across multiple platforms (gaimin. gg, gaimin. fan, and gaimin. cloud) while preserving the decentralized nature of their network.

The core challenge was clear: how could Gaimin maintain the benefits of a decentralized infrastructure network while delivering the intuitive, frictionless experience needed for mass adoption?

## The Solution: A fully integrated, Self-custodial wallet powering gamers

After evaluating potential partners, Gaimin selected Openfort based on their "strong development capabilities" and collaborative approach to customizing solutions. The implementation process was highly collaborative, resulting in a tailored Web3 experience that aligned perfectly with Gaimin's DePIN ecosystem needs.

The Openfort implementation delivered three critical capabilities:

1. **Fully Embedded Wallet Infrastructure:** Openfort's technology enabled Gaimin to create the Gaimin Smart Wallet (GSW), a self-custodial solution that eliminates redirections to third-party applications. Network participants can receive rewards and contribute computing resources throughout the ecosystem without leaving the familiar Gaimin interface.

2. **Simplified User Authentication:** Instead of managing seed phrases, users can access their Web3 wallets through an innovative two-layer authentication system—an initial password for their Gaimin account plus a separate recovery password that replaces traditional seed phrases, dramatically simplifying the process of joining the DePIN network.

3. **Gasless Transactions in $GMRX:** Openfort enabled Gaimin to cover all transaction fees using their native $GMRX token. This eliminated the need for users to acquire different tokens across various blockchains, removing a significant barrier to participating in the decentralized computing network.

"The integration process with Openfort was exceptionally smooth," notes the Gaimin team. "Their team worked closely with us to customize the solution to our exact requirements, allowing us to create a DePIN that truly scales to mainstream adoption."

## The Results: More than 50,000 users have migrated to smart wallets in just one month

While still in the early stages of user onboarding to their Smart Wallet, GAIMIN has already realized significant improvements across their entire DePIN ecosystem:

**Seamless Network Participation:** By eliminating redirections and simplifying wallet management, GAIMIN now offers what they describe as a "Web3-native yet Web2-feel" experience. Users can contribute computing resources and receive rewards without confronting unfamiliar blockchain interfaces or technical complexity.

**Accelerated Onboarding:** The streamlined wallet creation process has removed substantial barriers to entry for DePIN participation. **Over 50K people migrated to our new Gaimin SSO in the first month to gain access to our smart wallet**.

**Frictionless Rewards Distribution:** By covering all gas fees in $GMRX, Gaimin has created a seamless reward system throughout their ecosystem. This allows users to focus on contributing computing resources rather than managing multiple tokens for transaction fees.

**Platform Cohesion:** The single sign-on integration works seamlessly across all Gaimin platforms, creating a unified ecosystem where users' wallets remain connected as they move between services, ensuring continuity in their DePIN participation.

"Openfort's solution has been crucial in making decentralized infrastructure accessible to mainstream users who previously found Web3 too complicated," says the Gaimin team. "We're now able to harness idle computing power at scale by removing the traditional barriers to participation."

## Looking Forward

As user adoption of the Gaimin Smart Wallet continues to grow, the company anticipates further collaboration with Openfort to enhance functionality and scale their decentralized computing network. One upcoming feature will allow users to swap smart contract addresses via a one-click function when they forget their recovery password, further streamlining DePIN participation.

"Our partnership with Openfort has been instrumental in breaking down the traditional barriers between Web2 and Web3," concludes the Gaimin team. "We're now able to deliver true access to decentralized infrastructure with the simplicity users expect from mainstream applications—a combination that's essential for the next generation of DePIN solutions."

The Gaimin-Openfort partnership demonstrates how thoughtful implementation of Web3 infrastructure can preserve the benefits of decentralization while eliminating adoption barriers, creating a seamless pathway for mainstream users to participate in the decentralized physical infrastructure network.

How GAIMIN reduces onboarding complexity by integrating their web3 systems with Openfort


It has been almost three months since we announced our first implementation of [chain abstraction](https://www.openfort.io/blog/chain-abstraction), and we want to share with our community the progress. TLDR: This article is a closer look to our [changelog](https://github.com/openfort-xyz/openfort-chain-abstraction/) this past 3 months, and we're working on a cool demo to showcase the full end-to-end experience.

## Our vision: Community as Value-Sharing Liquidity Providers

At Openfort, we've taken a unique approach to chain abstraction. While many solutions in the market rely on third-party solvers or fillers who compete to front liquidity on destination chains in exchange for fees, we've placed ecosystems at the center of our model.

Our vision grants ecosystems the power to become liquidity providers for their own users. Instead of value being captured by external solvers, ecosystems deploy tailor-made 4337 chain abstraction infrastructure that allows them to share this value directly with their users.

This fundamental shift transforms the relationship between ecosystems and their users. Ecosystems now have the tools to provide a unified balance that's instantly accessible across all their applications, regardless of the underlying blockchain. Users gain a seamless, friction-free experience without sacrificing security or control over their assets.

## The evolution of Openfort chain abstraction: From v0.1 to today

Our chain abstraction framework has undergone significant evolution since its inception. What started as a proof of concept has grown into a "almost" production-ready system that addresses real-world requirements for secure, efficient cross-chain transactions.

### Core components and their evolution

- **Time-Locked Vaults**
Our system centers around tokenized vaults that securely store user funds with configurable locking periods. These vaults serve as counterparty guarantees for Paymasters, ensuring that funds are only used as intended. Unlike traditional locked assets, these vaults can be yield-bearing, allowing users to earn returns while their assets serve as security.

We've simplified the "locking" process to be as user-friendly as possible - users simply send a transaction from their EOA to their Smart Contract Account, and a backend watcher automatically transfers the funds to a time-locked vault using a pre-approved session key.

- **Invoice Manager**
A critical advancement in our system is the implementation of the Invoice Manager, which:
- Manages the settlement of invoices between chains
- Prevents double-repayment of invoices with state proof verification
- Authorizes paymasters and paymaster verifiers

This component has been crucial in protecting users against double-repay scenarios, a key requirement we've successfully implemented.

- **Ecosystem Paymasters**
Our 4337-compatible Chain Abstraction Paymasters (CABPaymasters) front funds on destination chains for users with sufficient locked balances. Each ecosystem owns its Paymaster, giving them direct control over the experience while maintaining a non-custodial architecture.

- **Paymaster Verifiers**
We've implemented permissionless verification of remote events and storage proofs, allowing for trustless verification of invoices across chains.

### Production requirements met

Since our initial release, we've successfully implemented several critical production requirements:

- **Protected users against double-repay**: Through state-proofs and our InvoiceManager, we've ensured that invoices cannot be repaid multiple times, protecting both users and ecosystems.

- **Execution at destination chain speed**: Transactions execute at the native speed of the destination chain, with repayment happening asynchronously on the source chain.

- **Proving system fallbacks**: Beyond Polymer's fast proving system (thanks to the V2), we've integrated Hashi as a fallback proving mechanism, ensuring that the system can continue to operate even if primary proving services are unavailable.

- **Native token sponsorship**: We've implemented native token sponsorship with refund rates agreed upon at transaction signing, not at repayment time. This protects users from token volatility during the transaction lifecycle.

Our system now leverages cross-L2 execution proofs from Polymer, eliminating the need for users to trust Openfort or the Ecosystem. Repayment only occurs with verified execution proof from the destination chain, and the InvoiceManager tracks all invoices on-chain to prevent double-refunds.

## What sets our approach apart

Our chain abstraction framework differs fundamentally from other solutions in the market:

### Ecosystem-Centric vs. Solver Networks

While many approaches rely on third-party solvers or fillers to compete for providing liquidity, we empower ecosystems to be their own liquidity providers. This allows ecosystems to capture and share value that would otherwise go to external parties.

### Yield-Bearing Security

Our time-locked vaults allow users to earn yields on their locked assets, transforming what would typically be idle capital into productive investments. This represents a significant improvement over traditional security models where locked assets generate no returns.

### True Abstraction Across Applications

Our solution unifies user liquidity across apps within an ecosystem, providing a single balance that's instantly spendable regardless of which chain an application runs on. This creates a seamless experience where users don't need to think about which chain they're interacting with.

## Looking Ahead: Completing the Chain Abstraction Vision

While we've made significant progress, several key components of our production roadmap are still in active development:

- **Transaction Sequencing Enhancements**

We're working on advanced transaction sequencing mechanisms to prevent double-spending of counterparty resources, further enhancing the security of our system.

- **Non-Custodial Security Architecture for Paymasters**

Although our current implementation provides strong security guarantees, we're advancing our integration with secure enclaves (via lit, turnkey, and nitro) with custom policies to ensure that Openfort never has custody of ecosystem funds.

- **Intelligent Liquidity Path Selection**

We're developing systems to automatically select the cheapest refund liquidity path for each transaction. Users will approve these paths by signing an EIP-712 message, ensuring transparency and control over how their transactions are processed.

- **L2 Reorg Resistance**

To address the challenges of layer-2 reorganizations, we're implementing additional safeguards to ensure transaction finality even in cases of network reorganizations.

- **External Liquidity Fallbacks**

We're building fallback mechanisms to external liquidity sources, ensuring transaction execution even in cases where ecosystem liquidity might be constrained.

---

As we continue to develop and refine our chain abstraction solution, we invite developers, ecosystems, and users to join us on this journey. Together, we can build a future where blockchain interactions are as simple and intuitive as traditional web experiences, unlocking the full potential of Web3 for everyone.
