Wallet interface and scalability

The N17 platform facilitates a secure connection between user wallets and any DApp through the Wallet interface. The Wallet interface generates a key pair and creates a session between the wallet and the DApp, facilitating end-to-end encrypted communication between the two clients. On the N17 platform, users can use their wallets to interact with any DApp without any permission to provide a seamless experience for DApps on mobile devices.

The role played by the Wallet interface between wallets and DApps is similar to what TCP/IP does for network technologies and web applications. Before the Internet, computer networking technology was tailored to meet the needs of specific applications. ARPANET (wire-based) was the terrestrial means of linking universities and government agencies, SATNET (satellite-based) enabled transatlantic communications, and PRNET (radio-based) enabled communication between mobile environments. While all of these networking technologies provide bandwidth, combining them is still very difficult because each network has different interfaces, packet sizes, conventions, and transfer rates. This means that an application built for one web technology cannot easily be used on another web technology. If we think of this ecosystem as a two-way market of supply (bandwidth) and demand (from applications), then the original internet faced a cold start problem. New web technologies must be designed for differentiated use cases and engage users from the ground up. Applications must choose which networks they want to be compatible with, making trade-offs based on network participants and capabilities. Imagine a social network or email service provider has to build different solutions for Wifi, LAN and 5G. The ecosystem is fragmented, as is the service provider's target market and the available bandwidth for new applications. TCP/IP emerged and unified this ecosystem. Its minimalist, opinion-free nature makes the protocol universal across both the applications based on it and the technologies that support it. This gave rise to the famous hourglass model, where TCP/IP acts as the "narrow waist" in the middle.

Similarly, by acting as a simple and unbiased protocol, the Wallet interface enables the wallet to communicate with any DApp. This link is extremely scalable and can continuously incorporate a large number of innovative DApps. For developers, the Wallet interface exposes DApps to a highly diverse and competitive market by connecting wallets with the DApp ecosystem, promoting innovation in the DApp ecosystem. In addition, as an advocate of the concept of test-driven development, the Wallet interface also provides developers with a highly extensible testing framework, enabling them to gradually improve development with the help of automated contract testing tools. On the other hand, for users, DApp developers can also access a wider user base, using the Wallet interface of the N17 platform to expand users. Ultimately, users will be able to access social, financial and entertainment products and other content on the N17 platform.
