Privy Wallet

This repository contains a POC application that demonstrates how to create a crypto wallet using the Privy SDK. The goal is to explore whether the Privy SDK can be leveraged to build a general-purpose crypto wallet with features such as email/social login for authentication, signing messages, and executing transactions—all without requiring key management in the application code. The ultimate objective is to simplify user onboarding for a new kind of generic crypto wallet.
