Hey Derek, thanks for your message. Well, as far as I understand, there are at least two massive differences:
- Gridlock is a wallet for end-users directly. Meemaw is a so-called "wallet-as-a-service", allowing developers to deploy wallets for their users, within their app. The experience is for each developer to define.
- Meemaw is open-source and designed to reduce risks on many counts: going from cloud to self-hosting and vice versa will be super easy, there will be open-sourced tools for end users to recover their wallet even if the company (whether Meemaw or developers using it) goes down, etc
Happy to discuss further if you feel like I misunderstood what Gridlock does!
The problem is that all the effort is still on the developer to actually build a user interface, while Gridlock already has it built. Additionally, any company can build on the Gridlock storage network using the SDK. It's secure MPC without the work of bringing that to the user and explaining it. In a clear way.
