This is a guest post from the Dapper team.
Friends in the Flow community, hello! Another official (re)introduction to Dapper Wallet - the wallet that currently powers NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, BALLERZ, and more, and soon, will be available to anyone on Flow who chooses to use the service. We know there are a lot of questions about Dapper, so we're happy to share some updates with you. First, while Dapper is currently in alpha, the team expects to launch a wider beta in May 2022 . Until then, Dapper will continue to join new platforms via a queue, and an application form is available here.
Dapper's full range of services includes payment channels, wallet custody, fraud/risk mitigation, compliance, customer support, and marketing opportunities. Teams wanting to integrate Dapper can view the developer documentation here, and a more robust self-service onboarding portal is expected to be available by the end of April 2022. Any team integrating with Dapper on Flow can use this tool.
Want to learn more about Dapper? Check out the full Q&A with the Dapper team below, and stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the wider beta launch in May!
Where can I register Dapper?
You can submit your project to integrate Dapper through this link. We use this form to learn more about your project, so we can make sure we understand your needs and what your goals are as we begin the integration.
Form link: https://meetdapper.com/developer-interest-form
How long does it take to integrate Dapper?
In the near future, we expect this process to take 1-2 weeks and is highly dependent on your technical readiness and speed of provisioning. We are currently in Alpha stage and continue to open to more dapps, please be patient as this process will take longer.
Do I need to do something special like use FCL?
Like other Flow wallet providers, Dapper Wallet uses FCL (Flow Client Library) to support dapps and interact with users. If you're considering integrating with Dapper, we recommend getting acquainted with FCL.
Introduction to FCL : https://docs.onflow.org/fcl/
If I use Dapper, can I also use other wallets in my dApp?
Currently, we recommend only using Dapper for ease of integration. Over the next few months, we are actively developing features to make Dapper more interoperable with other wallets like Blocto. Again, we're in the early stages of Dapper's gradual rollout, but it's important for us to support the open Flow ecosystem as soon as possible.
Why some partners have integrated Dapper?
We've started integrating with some partners to start our progressive rollout strategy. This helps us strengthen our onboarding process, get feedback on feature requests, and determine how to scale to support 1000+ dapps in the coming months.
Are there any features that Dapper doesn't support?
Right now, we're limited in what we can support due to technical and compliance constraints , but we're working to open up to more and more use cases over time.
Things we can't currently support include:
-
alternative token
-
Offer/Bid/Auction
-
Complete final creator content, unless a content policy is in place, monitored, and open to prohibition.
Can I get sales data from Dapper?
We share monthly sales reports with information including but not limited to: type of sale, buyer ID, order information, payment type, property price, and revenue.
Can users transfer NFTs outside of Dapper?
Currently, users can only transfer their NFTs to the Blocto wallet using Dapper Inventory . In order to enable NFT transfers for your collection, you must request "withdrawal support" (this is a simple configuration we do manually).
When can I expect Dapper to be available to all?
We plan to open more broadly in May 2022 , but until then we will work hard to continue adding partners through the queue. We therefore strongly recommend that you submit your project to our application form, we may start collaborating before May.
Is there an open market for Dapper?
We currently do not have a single open marketplace for all Dapper wallet families. As part of an open ecosystem, we hope to encourage many marketplaces to emerge. Having said that, we will work with you to support your collection in the market upon request.
Will Dapper soon provide self-service options and documentation to support self-service onboarding?
Dapper currently has developer documentation at docs.meetdapper.com and is actively building a self-service getting started portal, which will be ready by the end of April 2022. Developers still need to request access to Dapper, but once approved, this will allow developers to decide when they launch without relying on Dapper.
Does Dapper accept FLOW?
As of March 2022, we do not yet support the FLOW token. However, we expect to start supporting FLOW by May 2022.
How do my users pay with Dapper?
Users can pay by:
-
Credit card (Visa, MasterCard)
-
Dapper balance
Ways to add funds to your Dapper balance:
-
Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, USDC, DAI, BCH)
-
ACH (bank transfer)
-
wire transfer
Will Dapper provide me with KYC services?
Yes, we have a robust KYC process and we fully comply with it. We currently use two providers for redundancy and optimal performance by region. We plan to add more as we identify opportunities to improve regional performance with other suppliers.
Can users use credit cards through Dapper?
certainly! Users can pay directly with their Visa or Mastercard credit cards for any transaction on the platform.
How much do I need to pay to use Dapper? :
There is no upfront cost to integrate Dapper's full range of services such as: Payment Rails, Wallet Custody, Fraud/Risk Mitigation, Compliance, Customer Support and Marketing . Instead, costs are built into the fee structure outlined in our service agreement. But these costs will be explained before the partners use them.
