"Progressive Decentralization" is a common strategy at the network, protocol, and organization layer but has not been employed effectively at the level of the User. Additionally, "Progressive Disclosure" is the UX strategy of gradually revealing information and functionality as a user needs it. "Progressive Wallets" are the marriage of these two concepts. Today we enjoy a range of different wallet types that serve different levels of user sophistication, however, these wallets are too rigid in that they cannot evolve with a user and thus a user typically needs to "offboard" one wallet to onboard their assets into a new wallet with more functionality or higher security. But, this need not be the case. We need to build wallets that can progress along the spectrum from relatively custodial but simple to mange to highly secure with advanced functionality. This can only be achieved by building atop a flexible, programmable cryptography system that can adapt to these evolving user needs.
