Account abstraction

An approach that makes blockchain account authorization and operation more programmable.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Account abstraction moves beyond assuming every account must work like one private key signing one ordinary transaction. Designs can support recovery rules, multiple signers, batched actions or sponsored fees. Those features depend on the actual account and infrastructure, so the label alone doesn't promise free transactions or effortless recovery.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

An app batches a token approval and swap into one account operation, instead of asking you to confirm two separate steps.
