4.0/5 5.0/5 · Data verified on

Magic Labs is a wallet-as-a-service provider that lets companies create non-custodial embedded wallets for their users via existing logins (email, social, SMS). Its SDK combines wallet creation, transaction signing and on-chain automation, with server-side (API Wallets using AWS Nitro TEE and key sharding) and embedded options. The company reports over 200,000 developers and more than 50 million wallets created, and has raised over $80M (a $52M strategic round led by PayPal Ventures).

FAQ

Can an individual use Magic Labs?

Not directly. Magic is a developer SDK: a user only encounters Magic as the login/wallet system embedded in a third party's app.

Does Magic custody user funds?

No. The generated wallets are non-custodial: keys stay under the user's control (with sharding and protected environments), not held by Magic as a custodian.
