About this idea
More detail
Interacting with the Cardano Blockchain from websites is currently very limited and entails the error ridden process of copy and pasting addresses and values.
To address this, we plan to develop a method for connecting dApps to browser-based Cardano wallets (such as Yoroi). This is useful not just for smart contract support, but would also allow for use cases today such as stake pools having a "click here to delegate to me" button, logging into websites using your Cardano identity, or even create web-based games which utilize NFTs as avatars.
- Define an API and get it approved as a Cardano Improvement Proposal
- Integrate the connector into an existing wallet (such as Yoroi)
- Release an initial version that supports tx metadata + user assets
- Scope out work for future Plutus support
