Let’s start with an idea

All art is abstraction. Even the most realistic paintings simplify, interpret, and represent the world through a unique lens. But abstraction isn’t just for art — it’s here to revolutionize the blockchain too.

So, what exactly is account abstraction? Put simply, it’s a recent innovation that allows your account on the blockchain to behave like a smart contract, made possible by the arrival of the ERC-4337 token standard. Instead of having to wrestle with traditional wallets, account abstraction makes it possible to set up your own customized rules for managing your funds. Sound better? Still hazy? Don’t worry, let’s break it down even more.

Imagine account abstraction as your personal assistant on the blockchain, one that handles tedious tasks for you. With it, you can automate transactions, remove the headaches of wallet management, and ease the onboarding process. It’s essentially the fastest, smoothest way to navigate the blockchain, without the fuss of traditional wallet setups.

By abstracting away the complexities of the blockchain, we can deliver an accessible, dynamic user experience on par with Web2’s refinement, allowing you to focus on what’s important — creating.

So, What’s in It for You as a Sage User?

Well, we’re all about making crypto easier, safer, and more intuitive, and account abstraction is a big part of that. With it, onboarding becomes simpler — no more feeling lost at sea in wallet complexities. This technology also lets you tailor your wallet experience, giving you the freedom to decide how you want to manage your funds. Want added security for large transactions? You can set that up. Prefer quicker access for smaller, everyday purchases? Done.

One of crypto’s biggest challenges has always been self-custody, with users forced to juggle complex security requirements to hold onto their funds. With our integrated account abstraction, you have the flexibility to decide how much control you want over your money and your transactions — without sacrificing security or simplicity. In other words, you get to hold the reins, but on your own terms.

With Sage, account abstraction isn’t just a tech feature; it’s a crucial component of a new, user-centered way of experiencing crypto. So, get ready to enjoy the ride — minus the traditional bumps in the road.
