Circle, a global fintech firm and the issuer of USDC and Euro Coin, announced Programmable Wallets, a wallet-as-a-service platform for developers to embed Web3 wallets in their apps and deliver user-friendly, blockchain-based experiences for their customers.
Available in public beta, Programmable Wallets is the first product to launch under Circle’s Web3 services. Leveraging its acquisition of CYBAVO in 2022, Circle’s new platform provides developers across the world with the technical infrastructure to build, scale and operate customizable on-chain wallets for their own customers. With just a few lines of code, developers can use Programmable Wallets to launch to mainnet faster and deliver more streamlined Web3 experiences on multiple blockchain networks.
Circle’s Programmable Wallets enables developers to rapidly create secure Web3 wallets for their users while preserving the UX that users are familiar with. With the wallet operations tools packaged within Programmable Wallets, developers are able to manage blockchain operations and scale their apps with ease. Using familiar APIs and SDKs, the developer’s integration of fully-functional crypto wallets into apps brings new efficiencies for builders, and for users looking to store, send, receive and spend with digital currencies like USDC, or digital assets like NFTs.

“Circle’s Programmable Wallets adds tremendous functionality for developers building on top of Polygon,” said Jack Melnick, Head of DeFi BD at Polygon Labs. “Developers within our ecosystem are seeking scaling solutions and infrastructure that will deliver more user-friendly features and experiences. Programmable Wallets provides these needs for developers and empowers their users with a secure wallet solution.”
