FAQ
What is Wallet-as-a-Service?
Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) is an infrastructure model that allows companies to add wallet capabilities to their products without building the entire wallet layer from scratch.
Depending on the product, those capabilities can support accounts, digital assets, transactions, balances, payments, rewards, or other wallet-enabled experiences.
Do my users need to see or manage a crypto wallet?
Not necessarily.
The wallet can be part of the underlying product infrastructure rather than a standalone user-facing feature. In an embedded experience, users may interact with accounts, balances, assets, or transactions without thinking of the product as a “crypto wallet.”
Is ND Labs a Wallet-as-a-Service infrastructure provider?
ND Labs approaches Wallet-as-a-Service from the product engineering side.
We can build a product around an existing WaaS provider, use the ND Labs wallet foundation where appropriate, or design a custom wallet architecture around the product requirements.
The objective is not simply to provide wallet infrastructure, but to turn that infrastructure into a complete product experience.
Can ND Labs integrate an existing WaaS provider?
Yes.
If you already use or plan to use a wallet infrastructure provider, ND Labs can build the product and integration layer around it rather than replacing the existing infrastructure.
What is the difference between Wallet-as-a-Service and a white-label crypto wallet?
A white-label wallet is typically a ready-made wallet product that can be branded and customized for a business.
Wallet-as-a-Service is broader as an infrastructure concept: wallet capabilities can be embedded into another product without the wallet becoming the product itself.
For example, a fintech platform, marketplace, trading product, or payment application may require wallet infrastructure while presenting a completely different experience to its users.
Can Wallet-as-a-Service be used outside a traditional crypto wallet product?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons to use wallet infrastructure as a service layer.
Wallet capabilities can sit behind fintech products, stablecoin payment flows, marketplaces, trading platforms, loyalty products, gaming experiences, and other applications that need accounts, balances, assets, or transaction functionality.
Can ND Labs build a custom layer around wallet infrastructure?
Yes.
Wallet infrastructure can serve as the foundation while the surrounding product — business logic, backend systems, integrations, admin functionality, and user experience — is designed specifically for your use case.
Do we need to choose a wallet provider before contacting ND Labs?
No.
The wallet architecture can be evaluated as part of the product discovery process. If you already have a provider, we can work with that foundation. If not, the infrastructure approach can be selected based on the actual product requirements.
