Smart Accounts

Smart accounts powered by Web3Auth's native account abstraction represent the next generation of blockchain wallets. These accounts are deployed through CREATE2Factory and implement the ERC-4337 standard, enabling sophisticated transaction handling while maintaining a seamless user experience.

At their core, smart accounts contain essential validation logic through the validateUserOp function, which verifies UserOperations when triggered by the EntryPoint contract. This architecture allows for powerful features while maintaining security and user control.

Features of Smart Accounts​

Transaction Batching​

Smart accounts revolutionize transaction handling by enabling multiple operations to be executed in a single call. Unlike traditional EOA wallets that require separate approvals and transactions, smart accounts can combine multiple actions efficiently. For example, when swapping tokens, users can approve and execute the swap in one transaction, significantly improving the user experience and reducing gas costs.

Advanced Gas Management​

Smart accounts address one of the major barriers to blockchain adoption - gas fees. Through integration with paymasters, these accounts can implement sophisticated gas management strategies. Users can have their transaction fees sponsored by applications, or pay fees using ERC-20 tokens like USDC instead of the chain's native currency. This flexibility makes blockchain interactions more accessible to newcomers and provides better options for experienced users.

Programmable Logic​

Smart accounts introduce unprecedented levels of programmability to wallet functionality. Developers can implement custom logic for:

  • Automated trading strategies based on market conditions
  • Sophisticated spending controls and limits
  • Multi-signature security schemes
  • Custom validation rules and security measures

These programmable features allow for the creation of highly specialized wallet behaviors that can adapt to specific user needs or application requirements.
