ERC-4337 is a recently deployed Ethereum standard that introduces account abstraction to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem. Unlike traditional consensus-layer protocol changes, ERC-4337 introduces UserOperations, a higher-layer pseudo-transaction object. These UserOperations are processed in a separate mempool and later bundled into transactions via a handleOps call to a contract, seamlessly becoming part of a block. Beyond enhancing transaction efficiency, account abstraction fosters decentralization, a cornerstone of Web3, by enabling any bundler to engage in account-abstracted user operations, access public mempools, and build trust within the network.
Furthermore, account abstraction facilitates the proliferation of smart contract wallets, replacing traditional Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs). This opens the door to customized wallets with robust safety features, enhanced security, and a user experience like never before. These advantages pave the way for widespread adoption in the crypto space.
Let’s meet the top ERC-4337 projects of 2023, each with its unique approach to adoption.
Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe): Securing Assets with ERC-4337
Safe, previously known as Gnosis Safe, stands as an EVM-compatible decentralized custody protocol and collective asset management platform on Ethereum. It offers a multi-signature and multi-chain smart contract wallet, fortified by multiple private keys. Safe embraces ERC-4337 to enhance user experience, allowing users to secure their assets with ease.
Biconomy
Biconomy is simplifying dApp development through its easy-to-use plug-and-play APIs, intuitive SDKs, and blockchain infrastructure leveraging account abstraction. By embracing ERC-4337, Biconomy provides developers with user-friendly tools, including gasless transaction fees, multi-currency support, cross-chain transfers, and an accessible user interface.
Etherspot
Etherspot is a blockchain development framework designed for EVM-compatible chains, creating bridges that ensure a seamless user experience across various chains and wallets. Etherspot’s account abstraction SDK plays a pivotal role in enabling a multi-chain self-custody smart contract wallet platform and several customized use cases. Key features include transaction batching, payment hubs, P2P transfers, smart contract management, and meta-transactions.
Argent
Argent helps its users to access features including account recovery tools, zkSync integration, daily limits, user-friendly addresses, and integration with platforms like Compound, MakerDAO, and Kyber Network. Argent’s goal is to eliminate barriers to widespread adoption by enhancing the crypto wallet user experience.
Blocto: Simplifying User Onboarding with ERC-4337
Blocto has been at the forefront of account abstraction since 2019. By becoming ERC-4337 compatible, Blocto Wallet integrates core elements such as Paymaster, Bundler, and Aggregator. This smart contract wallet offers users features like social/email login, gasless transactions, payments with ERC-20 assets, and the ability to perform multiple actions in a single transaction. Blocto’s commitment to providing a seamless user experience is evident in its developer-friendly Blocto SDK, a comprehensive solution for quick, hassle-free Web3 integration.
End Notes
As these projects adopt ERC-4337, they’re not just changing the game; they’re making crypto more accessible and user-friendly. The crypto experience is evolving, and it’s for the better. With ERC-4337 at the forefront, we’re witnessing the dawn of a new era in blockchain technology.
