@fediprofile@social.vocalcat.com is designed to be that wallet.
Because Fediprofile itself is an ActivityPub actor, it can follow badge issuers (again simplicity wins!).
When it detects a badge issued to one of the verified profile URLs connected to the account, it automatically stores it (and optionally boost it).
Users can then choose which badges to display. Users OWN their badges.
This creates a low-friction identity layer.
People who don’t want to run their own site can still have a public profile where they show:
• their social links
• their activity
• their badges
All in a decentralized way.

This is where the model becomes powerful. People who don’t know about the Fediverse can still participate indirectly. They receive badges, create profiles, and interact with issuers, WITHOut needing to understand federation. It’s a gentle on-ramp. (And I am making sure to add extra friction if they don't have a fediverse account, and encouraging them to create one). -- There are interesting possibilities here. Imagine a Fediprofile plugin that lets someone cross-post to Instagram and Pixelfed. Or automatically creates a Pixelfed account for an illustrator. Fediprofile becomes an entry point into the Fediverse.
