Consider web3 integration (blockchain wallet connect)

Problem/Motivation

Connection with web3 wallets provides a secure way of validating a user identity. Over 100M people have a crypto wallet extension in their browser nowadays and growing so this would open a lot of possibilities for Drupal sites.

The user/profile address field could have a new variant "web3_address" which is just a string (usually with a bech32 prefix indicating the blockchain protocol) that gets filled from a javascript component when the user "connects". See the (WIP) "web3_auth" module as an example.

    To connect, the user might sign with his wallet (using his private key) an arbitrary message provided by the Drupal site, to be verified against his public key before saving onto the user entity.
