Account Abstraction

A way to make crypto wallets behave more like normal apps by turning every account into a smart contract.

Definition

A way to make crypto wallets behave more like normal apps by turning every account into a smart contract. This means you can recover your wallet without a seed phrase, pay gas in any token, and batch multiple actions into one transaction. ERC-4337 brought this to Ethereum without changing the base protocol.
