Account Abstraction: The Definition

Account: A user's identity on the blockchain that can send or receive transactions and interact with other on-chain accounts. In Ethereum and other EVM-supported networks, there are two types of accounts:

• External Owned Accounts (EOAs)

• Contract Accounts (a.k.a smart contracts) Abstraction: A computer science term that involves hiding the details of a system or application, making it easier to use without needing extensive knowledge of its inner workings. It can also be defined as "the process of simplifying a system by providing an interface that masks its complexity."

Account Abstraction is a revolutionary proposal designed to enhance the management and operation of Ethereum accounts. By concealing the complexities of different account types from the Ethereum protocol, account abstraction ensures that every account, whether self-custodial or otherwise, essentially functions as a smart contract. This abstraction simplifies the user experience, improves wallet designs, and significantly reduces the complexity of interacting with web3 applications. For users, this means many technical details are hidden behind higher-level interfaces, making blockchain technology more accessible and easier to use, similar to the web2 apps they use every day.

Account Abstraction within the KIP Ecosystem:

The KIP Protocol ecosystem strategically utilizes Account Abstraction to optimize payment processes and ensure secure interactions between providers and users. This innovative approach facilitates the creation of a dedicated "trading wallet", empowering users to effortlessly fund and engage with multiple applications across the KIP Ecosystem. Moreover, by implementing gas-less transactions where DApps sponsor transaction fees for users, KIP enhances user accessibility and engagement. These advancements not only streamline blockchain interactions but also contribute to a more intuitive and user-centric experience within the ecosystem.
