The Argent Telegram Wallet is a self-custody, embedded wallet within Telegram. By leveraging account abstraction, users benefit from a best-in-class experience while retaining ownership of their assets. The goal here is to abstract away the concept of blockchain.
To set up and use the wallet, please follow this guide:
Talking about the Argent Telegram Wallet, we have to differentiate two features: the wallet and the SDK.
The wallet/bot enables end-users to:
Send (including Gifting)
Send with bot (including Gifting)
Add Funds
Unlock with biometrics
The SDK enables mini-app developers to:
Seamlessly establish connection between the dapp and the wallet (like )
Leverage to highly improve the user experience.
Under the hood, our Telegram wallet leverages the same smart-account technology that is used for other Argent wallets, like the Mobile wallet. Part of the signing process is handled by our backend. It is somewhat similar to a 2-2 multisig wallet. To make a transaction, both the Telegram wallet signature and the Argent backend signature are required. The private key of the Telegram wallet is stored on the user’s Telegram cloud space.
The private key is encrypted using your pin or secure enclave if your enable biometric.
