We Fixed Web3 Onboarding with Account Abstraction 🤯

In March, account abstraction (ERC-4337) went live on Ethereum — bringing us one step closer to eliminating the #1 obstacle to web3 mass adoption: a difficult wallet user experience.

This week, we fixed web3 onboarding — allowing anyone in the world to interact with the blockchain, without even realizing they’re using a wallet. Our talented engineer @jarrodWattsDev created a web3 app that:

→ Auto-generates wallets for users
→ Covers gas fees for transactions
→ Removes transaction popups for a signless experience ✨ 

🛠️ Here’s how it works:

1. An EOA wallet is generated for the user and stored on their device
2. When the user goes to mint an NFT, an ERC-4337 compatible wallet smart contract is deployed for the user
3. The signer from the EOA is used as a signer for the smart wallet

This is huge: it means that any user can interact with a web3 app without having previously created a wallet — and without the need to KYC, buy & transfer crypto, or approve any transactions! 🪄 

At any point, the user can then export the EOA wallet we generated for them to their wallet app of choice (like Coinbase Wallet or MetaMask), meaning that it’s also fully non-custodial.

The future of web3 wallets is here. Learn more about how you can use account abstraction, in any app, with our full step-by-step guide:
