Account Abstraction’s 2024 Road Map

Short and long term predictions for AA adoption.

Account Abstraction has only been around for 1 year 🤯

In just a few months, it has captured the imagination of app developers and institutions for its ability to simplify crypto’s user experience.

During Arbitrum Day, Alchemy Product Manager Will Hennessy (@WillHennessy_) shared his vision for what to expect from AA in 2024.

TL;DR

Here’s a quick breakdown:

1. AA will become the standard for onboarding

Users will continue transitioning from EOA wallets to flexible smart wallets and modular smart contract accounts for zero-friction onboarding.

2. AA infra is ready

Developers need reliable infra and simple-to-deploy solutions so they can start building, testing, and iterating as quickly as possible.

Toolkits like Account Kit and audited smart contracts like Light Account will accelerate development by packaging bundlers, gas managers, and SDKs in one convenient place.

3. New apps will emerge

With smart account standards and scalable, reliable infrastructure ready for developers, expect to see an explosion of new products at the app layer (short-term) and the protocol layer (long-term).
