Introducing Guest Accounts ✨

In consumer apps, your funnel is everything. Sometimes, the best way to engage users is to let them start exploring immediately—before requiring them to log in.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Guest Accounts, a seamless way for users to "continue as a guest" and upgrade to full accounts later. This feature is ideal for gaming and shopping apps, where reducing friction is key to keeping users engaged.

How Guest Accounts work

  1. Instant engagement
    When users onboard via guest accounts, they can interact with your app right away. Behind the scenes, Openfort creates a persistent player ID and a fully-functional embedded wallet tied to the user’s local storage.

  2. No login friction
    Guest accounts allow users to return to your app on the same device and access their account and wallet without needing to log in. This makes re-engagement effortless.

  3. Easy account upgrades
    Guest accounts are fully upgradeable to logged-in accounts. By simply calling the link() function, users can transition seamlessly.

Streamlined samples: Focused and maintained

We’ve also simplified our sample projects to better support your development journey.

After listening to community feedback, we realized that too many sample projects could be overwhelming. To address this, we’ve curated the most useful and maintainable examples to make it easier for developers to get started.

Our newest addition? Rapid Fire, a streamlined example that showcases the power of Openfort’s ecosystem. It’s designed to help you implement key features quickly and efficiently, so you can focus on building.
