Account Abstraction Panel

" summary

ERC-4337 deploys an on‑chain entry point contract that makes smart accounts practical today rather than via a hard fork, yielding over 3 million smart accounts and ~13 million user ops while paymasters subsidize about $2M of gas; validation runs in-contract so gas overhead is higher, prompting work on compressed userOp calldata, native AA (RIP‑7560) for L2s, and module standards (EIP‑1271, ERC‑6900, ERC‑7579, ERC‑7555) to prevent fragmentation and enable session keys, ERC20 sponsorships, and seamless developer tooling.
