Account abstraction is widely regarded as a revolutionary concept in the crypto world due to its potential to greatly enhance the user experience. Let’s break it down step by step.
Ethereum currently supports 2 types of accounts:
These are the common hot wallets used to make onchain transactions.
Controlled by: Private keys.
Functionality:
Examples:
These accounts are governed by smart contracts and offer programmable logic.
Functionality:
The optimal account type would combine the flexibility of Contract Accounts with the direct usability of EOAs. Enter Account Abstraction.
The introduction of EIP-4337 brought account abstraction to the Ethereum ecosystem.
Introduced smart contract accounts that:
Enabled features such as:
Sophon leverages native account abstraction (AA) built into ZKsync, offering significant advantages over Ethereum’s EIP-4337. While both approaches aim to improve account flexibility and user experience, the native AA of ZKsync—and by extension Sophon—provides a seamless, efficient, and unified solution.
Sophon (ZKsync Native AA): Integrated directly at the protocol level, enabling a foundational, seamless experience.
EIP-4337: Operates outside the protocol as an overlay, avoiding protocol-level changes but introducing complexity.

By utilizing native account abstraction instead of relying on EIP-4337, Sophon simplifies the user experience while enhancing the flexibility and functionality of accounts:
Paymasters further elevate the functionality of Sophon accounts by:
Account abstraction is no longer just a theoretical leap. With Sophon’s native implementation, users and developers can harness the best of both EOAs and Contract Accounts, unlocking new possibilities for innovation and usability.
