Sure but the blockchain env like Ethereum gives you that for free along with a few slick chrome extensions like Metamask and a JS library (web3.js) that make all of this super easy to build on.
You don't need to make any transactions or whatever, but you're inheriting all these tools for free.
The reviews on the metamask chrome extension are pretty scary. And it has access to view all data on all sites you visit. Is there a better way?
