Dynamic supports different wallet types you can mix and match: Embedded (end-user, MPC), External (bring-your-own like MetaMask, Phantom), Global (ecosystem wallets i.e. login with ecosystem X), and Server (backend-controlled for automation).

When to use what

  • Embedded wallets: fastest onboarding, no extensions required, works with smart wallets for gas sponsorship and programmable flows.
  • External wallets: serve web3-native users, keep their wallet of choice, add multi-wallet and recommendations.
  • Server wallets: fully programmatic control for agents, schedulers, and backend-driven transactions.
  • Global wallets: extend embedded wallets across partner apps or your ecosystem using WalletConnect-based flows or partner integrations.
  • Mixed setups: enable both embedded and external so users can link or switch; your backend can still run server wallets separately.
