Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot about how we could make wallets more user-friendly in this ecosystem, and account abstraction seems like a promising direction. The current model—where users are responsible for managing private keys, understanding gas fees, and keeping seed phrases safe—is still a huge barrier to entry for many. Account abstraction opens the door to features like social recovery, session keys, and even fee payments in tokens other than the native chain token, which could significantly improve the user experience.
From a technical standpoint, it would require some infrastructure changes, but I think it’s worth exploring. We could see smart contract wallets that behave more like modern apps—offering permissions, recovery options, and user-defined spending limits. It also makes onboarding easier for new users, who might not be ready to dive into the full complexity of self-custody right away. For developers, this could unlock more flexibility in designing applications and integrating seamless UX.
Curious to hear if anyone else here has worked on projects involving account abstraction or if you’ve seen good examples of it in the wild. What do you think would be the biggest challenges to implementing this in the context of Unit0 and what would be the clearest wins?
