Zippie dApp Integrations Framework
Using the Vault as a trusted intermediary we allow web applications to securely access a client side API provided by third party applications.
An example of how we use this in the Zippie Platform is the Wallet API.

Utilising IFrames and window.postmessage() calls we proxy calls to a third-party client side web api.
