- Tyler built a voting application using passkeys to sign the transaction, which is an implementation of the secp256r1 verification function.
- He showed a cross-platform implementation (web and mobile) and demonstrated that passkeys are the perfect interface between web3 contracts and web2 authentication mechanisms that most end users are accostomed to.
- Ecosystem members discussed the use of smart wallets that would use passkeys as a signer. Challenges were identified around fees requires for smart wallets, the need for a common implementation for a smart wallet, as well as how might it interface with existing password managers.
- The voting application can be tried out at passkey.sorobanbyexample.org/
- Code for the demo is here github.com/kalepail/soroban-passkey
