Account Abstraction: Bringing the Next Billion New Users To Web3
A recent panel hosted by IoTeX, a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) tech and infra provider, focused on the advances in Account Abstraction (AA) and its impact on the Web3 space, including its potential to bring the next billion new users to Web3. The DePIN panel discussion on Twitter spaces included Intu Co-CEO and Co-Founder James Bourque and IoTeX CEO and Co-Founder Raullen Chai. Noam Hurwitz of Alchemy, Danny Salman of Polygon Labs, Third Web DevEx Engineer Ciara Nightingale, Web3 Foundation’s Bader Youssef, and Larry Pan, IoTeX Head of Business Development also participated.
What is Account Abstraction?
Account Abstraction allows for a more sophisticated approach to managing blockchain assets by abstracting away the underlying account model of a blockchain. That means that users no longer have to worry about managing private keys and can instead interact with the blockchain using a more user-friendly approach. AA essentially makes accounts smart contracts so instead of being an externally owned account (which requires the owner to sign transactions), smart contracts can interact directly with the blockchain. This creates a more seamless user experience that can be more accessible to people who are new to crypto.
The Potential Impact Of Account Abstraction
The panelists agreed that AA could onboard the next wave of adopters in the Web3 space. By abstracting away complexities associated with blockchain technology, AA creates an intuitive user experience where users don’t even know they are interacting with blockchain technology—a gamechanger for this industry as it paves way for developing massively used dApp.
Advantages Of Account Abstraction
AA makes it possible for developers to create more complex and sophisticated decentralized applications (dApps) which offer various services from asset management to peer-to-peer transactions with an improved user interface thus making it easier for new crypto users adopt these technologies quickly without any hassles associated with understanding security measures like private keys management etc.. Bourque explained that at Intu “we have been aiming achieve similar things since we started”. He further added that “together with multi-party computation cryptography combined with account abstraction will truly revolutionize our industry by bringing in next billions users into cryptocurrency markets” .
Conclusion
In summary ,Account Abstration is certainly one step towards achieving better adoption rates in web 3 space as far as creating experiences which are simple yet secure enough for general public is concerned . With smart contract accounts which manage assets , developers can create sophisticated dApps offering plethora of services opening up possibilities like never before . This could be massive game changer when it comes onboarding huge numbers onto cryptocurrency markets .
