Open-Source Serverless Framework Skeet Now Supports "Sign In With Solana" (SIWS)
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands, CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) is pleased to announce that its open-source serverless framework, Skeet, now supports "Sign In With Solana" (SIWS) on the Solana blockchain.
By integrating with "Sign In With Solana," Skeet enhances its security features, offering a more robust Web3 infrastructure for dApp development. The standardization of message formats allows wallets to issue warnings to users, thereby creating a safer user experience.
As the Solana ecosystem moves towards further standardization, Skeet continues to grow as a comprehensive development infrastructure that adapts to these evolving needs.
What is Sign In With Solana (SIWS)?
SIWS is a standardized method for applications to authenticate users on the Solana blockchain. It offers a simpler and safer one-click sign-in alternative to the traditional "connect + signMessage" flow.
Current challenges with wallet sign-ins include:
- Inconsistent user experience as each dApp has its unique message format, leaving users unsure of what to expect.
- Lack of standardization in message formats forces wallets to display confusing plaintext messages, further baffling users.
- Malicious websites can trick users into signing messages, and neither the wallet nor the user can intervene.
- The traditional "connect + signMessage" requires multiple unintuitive steps.
Sign In With Solana (SIWS) offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges.
The technical specification for SIWS is modeled after EIP-4361 (Sign In With Ethereum) but extends beyond its capabilities. SIWS shifts the responsibility of message construction from dApps to the wallet, resulting in consistent, user-friendly interfaces and enhanced end-user security.
Additionally, SIWS standardizes the message format, enabling wallets to scrutinize message data to ensure its legitimacy or raise red flags for suspicious activity. Domain binding is a key feature of SIWS, allowing wallets to alert users if a website is impersonating another entity.
The SIWS specification is open-sourced and managed by Solana's Phantom wallet.

What is Skeet?
Skeet is an open-source TypeScript serverless framework that allows you to build full-stack apps on GCP (Google Cloud) and Firebase.
With Skeet, you can rapidly develop everything from API servers to Web, iOS, and Android apps using TypeScript. It actively adopts technologies with good developer experience, such as GraphQL and Firestore.
Skeet is a modern application framework that makes it easy to develop applications using AI technologies like ChatGPT and Vertex AI, as well as blockchain-based Web3 dApps like Solana.
You can try the demo from the link below. You can also try PaLM2, Vertex AI, and OpenAI's ChatGPT (GPT-3.5, GPT-4) to compare their features.
Skeet Demo App:
Furthermore, you can run this demo app on your own PC or cloud environment in just 5 minutes using the Skeet CLI.
First, get an idea of what you can do with the demo, and then you can start app development right away using the Skeet CLI.
The Skeet CLI also comes with AI, offering powerful support like automatic code generation through chat, significantly boosting developer productivity.
