Gate Research: Wallet's status as an entry point is rising, and the boundaries of CEXs are rapidly extending onto the blockchain.

Gate Research recently released a report titled "Evolution of Crypto Wallets and On-Chain Integration of CEXs," tracing the entire process of wallets evolving from private key and signature tools in the Bitcoin era to core on-chain financial gateways. The report points out that the DeFi Summer transformed wallets from low-frequency asset management tools into essential gateways for dApps; after 2022, all-in-one wallets became the mainstream approach, validating their capabilities in high-frequency scenarios involving inscriptions and memes, and gradually gaining stronger control over transaction paths and traffic distribution.
