## Description

"In this talk, I will cover the basics of Shamir Secret Sharing, a method that can be used to securely distribute private keys into different parts while still maintaining a fully self-custodial wallet solution. This simplifies the onboarding process and makes recovery easy, while also eliminating the need to keep track of a seed phrase.

I will also demonstrate the practical implementation of Shamir Secret Sharing in a crypto wallet infrastructure, providing examples of SDKs and code snippets that developers can use. I will discuss the trade-offs and considerations of using other mainstream wallet solutions, such as MPC wallets, mnemonic wallets, and smart contract wallets.

This talk will be valuable for anyone interested in onboarding the next generation of crypto users by creating a smooth user experience in decentralized finance (DeFi) and self-custodial wallets. By understanding the various types of wallets and their strengths and limitations, I hope to inspire further discussion around infrastructure development and the UX challenges facing current systems."
