Web3 Tech Aspects

As Athlerse operates at the intersection of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, it is crucial to develop a technology stack that seamlessly bridges the gap between these two worlds while providing an exceptional experience for both types of users.

Web2 Simplicity meets Web3 Functionality

The Athlerse app is designed to prioritize Web 2.0 simplicity while encapsulating most Web 3.0 functionality under the hood. Upon registration, the app generates a wallet for the user and stores it locally on the user's device, while also saving a password-encrypted private key on the server side. Each time the user signs in from a new device (e.g., after changing devices), the encrypted key is retrieved from the server and decrypted locally using the user's password. This approach ensures that Athlerse does not openly possess the keys while allowing flexibility and easy onboarding for regular Web 2.0 users, who are expected to constitute the core user base of the app.

When a user performs an action that requires interaction with the underlying wallet (e.g., spending $ATHL tokens from the user's balance or sending other transactions), the app facilitates this on the user's behalf by signing the required transactions with the keys stored locally on the user's device. This process is entirely transparent to the user to the extent that Web 2.0 users may likely be unaware of such technicalities. Nevertheless, this approach generates blockchain activity and provides traction proof for the entire Athlerse ecosystem.

Transition from Web2 to Web3

As Web 2.0 users become more familiar with Web 3.0 technology, they will be presented with the option to access Web 3.0 functionalities such as the in-app wallet and the ability to export their private key. This exported key can then be added to MetaMask or any other wallet of their choice, allowing users to fully engage with the Web 3.0 ecosystem. With that users will get the possibility to deposit, transfer, withdraw and exchange crypto tokens.
