Looking Ahead: Future Account Abstraction Technologies
This part will show you the landscape of the current AA Market, which consists of three main players: AA wallet providers, infrastructure providers for new modules that ERC-4337 brings, new public chains with CA accounts only. We will also point out the use cases that AA wallets need to adopt to in the future.
Looking Ahead: Future Account Abstraction Technologies
Currently, the AA market consists of three primary participants: the first being wallet products that support AA, the second being infrastructure providers for new modules, and the third being new public chains with only CA accounts.
Wallets, serving as the gateway to web3, are the forefront of this AA upgrade. Wallet senior players like Metamask have begun iterating their product with batching transactions, while newcomers like ZeroDev Kernel are ERC-4337 compatible and open to plugin, making it easier for developers to create new functionalities.
In addition to the iteration of wallet products, there are also service providers focusing on infrastructure modules, such as bundler and paymaster providers. Skandha Bundler, supported by Ethereum foundation, primarily focuses on achieving Gas optimization.
As addressing technical debt is complex, smaller-scale public chain projects have become the third kind of participants in the AA market. Some of them do not need to undergo the same improvements as Ethereum or other EVM compatible chains do, and can design a more efficient path to achieve the AA development environment from beginning. For instance, Starknet does not have EOA at all, and zySync, Arbitrum and Optimism support AA as well.
Challenges of AA Wallet: Integrating into Diverse Use Cases
AA wallets have adapted to user habits, reducing the learning curve for users. Alongside the establishment of development standards and the introduction of SDK services, convenience has been extended to developers. However, despite the progress, web3 has yet to achieve mass adoption. For instance, although Ambire Wallet supports credit card payments, what payment scenarios come to mind? The ultimate challenge lies in integrating AA wallets into specific use cases, such as gaming and social fields.
As we see, Unipass as one of AA wallets expertising in social and gaming scenarios now only make progress in facilitating token payments, but their vision in the future is to provide smooth gaming experience such as playing games without multiple approvals during gaming time.
Today we still can see some try on this path：
- Social Platform Cyberconnect is leveraging ZeroDep, Pimlico and StackUp to create their unique CyberAccount in their social ecosystem.
- Wallet company Unipass is pursuing cooperation with NFT, Gaming and Social Platform to expand their use cases.
- Telegram recently has been in the spotlight because of a bunch of Telebots rolling out, thus AA wallet with Telegram mini App could be another option.
AA focuses on creating a seamless user experience while minimizing awareness of the underlying mechanism. ERC-4337 provides developers with a more efficient development environment, but it is just one aspect of this social experiment. As for the future development of AA wallet, we look forward to its discovery in a wide range of web3 applications.
