Understanding Account Abstraction

What is Account Abstraction ?

Account abstraction allows for more flexible and user-friendly account models beyond the traditional externally owned accounts (EOAs). With AA, smart contract wallets can initiate transactions, enabling more complex logic like multi-signature verification, recovery mechanisms, and gas fee payments in tokens. AA revolves around the idea of avoiding the need for change in concensus layer.

Programmable wallets more advance than EOA

Seamless and frictionless user onboarding experience

Batched transaction for sending multiple transactions

Sponsoring user gas fees for gasless experience

Allowing users to pay gas fees in USDC/USDT without the need of native gas token
