Implement Social Login Using Stellar-Account-Abstraction-SDK

[respp]

📘 Issue Description

The current login/authentication system needs to be replaced with a social login flow based on the [Stellar-Account-Abstraction-SDK](https://github.com/Hoblayerta/Stellar-Account-Abstraction-SDK). This will simplify the onboarding experience for new users by allowing them to connect via popular identity providers (Google, Github, etc.) while maintaining blockchain-based account abstraction.

🔍 Steps

1. Review the existing login/auth implementation in the frontend.
2. Explore the Stellar-Account-Abstraction-SDK repo and its documentation/examples.
3. Integrate the SDK into the frontend for social login support.
4. Replace the current login method with social login flows (e.g., Google).
5. Ensure user accounts are properly abstracted and linked to Stellar wallets.
6. Implement logout and session management.
7. Add fallback option for manual wallet connection (e.g., Freighter).
8. Write unit tests for the new login flow.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• Social login is available and functional (e.g., Google sign-in).
• Users are automatically mapped to a Stellar wallet through account abstraction.
• Existing login method is fully replaced with the new SDK.
• Logout and session handling are functional.
• Tests cover both login and logout flows.

📜 Additional Notes

This feature will greatly improve user onboarding for the MVP by reducing friction and making Stellar Rent more accessible to non-crypto-native users.

I’d like to work on this issue because integrating social login with Stellar account abstraction improves onboarding, UX, and security for users interacting with blockchain apps. It simplifies account creation while maintaining decentralized principles.

I have experience implementing OAuth-based social login flows and integrating blockchain wallets in web applications. I’m comfortable working with Stellar SDKs, handling account abstraction, managing authentication state, and ensuring secure, seamless login experiences that align with existing frontend and backend architecture.

Hello Stellar rent, I’d like to work on this issue. My name if Francis, I am a skilled full-stack developer with keen attention to details.

I’ll replace the current authentication flow with a social login implementation built on the Stellar Account Abstraction SDK to reduce onboarding friction while preserving blockchain-native account ownership. I’ll start by reviewing the existing auth setup and the SDK documentation to align the integration with recommended patterns.

The new flow will support social login such as Google, automatically map users to abstracted Stellar wallets, and fully replace the existing login method. I’ll also implement proper logout and session handling, and include a fallback option for manual wallet connection using Freighter for users who prefer it.

The implementation will be scoped cleanly to the frontend, avoid unnecessary abstractions, and include unit tests covering both login and logout flows to ensure reliability.

ETA: 14 to 18 hours.
