Simplifying Hedera Onboarding: HashPack Removes Onchain Barriers with Magic's Embedded Wallet

HashPack, the leading Hedera wallet, has integrated Magic's embedded wallet infrastructure to enable email-based wallet creation, making the Hedera ecosystem accessible to users of all experience levels.

#Key Results with Magic:

  • Eliminated seed phrase friction for new users entering the Hedera ecosystem
  • Maintained full non-custodial security while simplifying the onboarding experience
  • Expanded addressable user base by offering both email login and traditional private key options

"The barrier to entry has historically been one of the biggest challenges in Web3," said Tyler co-founder & CTO. "Magic allows us to offer choice—users can start with email and graduate to full key management when they're ready."

#The Challenge

HashPack had built a reputation as the premier wallet for the Hedera ecosystem, trusted by community members and professionals alike. However, the traditional onboarding flow presented a significant barrier to mainstream adoption.

When users created or imported an account, they faced an immediate requirement: download and safeguard a 24-word recovery phrase. For blockchain-native users, this was familiar territory. For everyone else, it was a dealbreaker.

The result was clear, HashPack was excluding a massive audience of potential users who were interested in Hedera but intimidated by the complexity of seed phrase management. To truly grow the ecosystem, HashPack needed a solution that maintained security without sacrificing accessibility.

#The Solution

HashPack integrated Magic's embedded wallet infrastructure to offer users a choice in how they create and manage their Hedera wallets. The new email-based flow removes the friction of seed phrases while preserving the security and self-custody that define blockchain.

#How it works

Users can now create a Hedera account by simply entering their email address and verifying through email OTP Magic Link. No recovery phrase, no private key management, no prerequisites. The wallet is created instantly, fully secured by email authentication, and completely non-custodial—neither HashPack nor Magic can access user funds.

#Built on Magic's TEE-Secured Key Management System (TKMS)

Magic's infrastructure uses AWS Nitro Enclaves and Shamir Secret Sharing to ensure private keys never leave a secure, isolated environment. Keys are split into encrypted shards, and only the user's authentication can reconstitute them inside the trusted execution environment. This architecture delivers both usability and enterprise-grade security.

#Supporting user choice

For users who prefer traditional key management, the original flow remains available. Whether someone chooses email login or self-managed keys, Magic and HashPack ensure a secure, user-friendly experience. This flexibility is critical for serving both crypto newcomers and experienced users within the same ecosystem.By removing the seed phrase barrier without compromising on security, HashPack has made the Hedera ecosystem accessible to a significantly broader audience.

#Why Magic Labs

Since 2018, Magic has provided battle-tested wallet infrastructure trusted by over 200,000 developers across 53 million+ wallets. For teams building on Hedera or any blockchain, choosing the right embedded wallet provider is critical to user adoption and long-term success.

Magic's combination of TEE-secured key management, flexible authentication, and multi-chain support enables companies like HashPack, Polymarket, WalletConnect, and others to deliver seamless onchain experiences that scale to millions.

For Hedera developers and projects looking to improve onboarding without sacrificing security, Magic provides the infrastructure to make it happen.

"Every blockchain has incredible technology, but adoption comes down to user experience," said Magic Labs co-founder and President, Jaemin Jin. "HashPack's integration shows how the right wallet infrastructure can open up an entire ecosystem to mainstream users."
