In this section, we’ll dive into two fundamental concepts: Externally Owned
Accounts (EOA) and Account Abstraction (AA). Grasping these concepts is
essential for leveraging our platform’s capabilities to their fullest.
An Externally Owned Account (EOA) is the traditional form of blockchain
account. It’s controlled by a private key, and only the holder of that key can
initiate transactions. EOAs are the backbone of cryptocurrency wallets and
transactions.
Key Points
Control: Directly controlled by the private key holder. This is an
advantage and limitation.
Transactions: Can send transactions (transfers, smart contract
interactions) initiated by the user.
Account Abstraction (AA) simplifies the user experience by abstracting away
the complexities of blockchain interactions. AA allows for accounts that can be
controlled by smart contracts, enabling more flexible and programmable
conditions for transactions.
The Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) #4337 is the currently ratified initiative that introduces smart wallet customizability & account abstraction. It is an advancement upon EIP-2938, the former favorite, which sought to provide smart wallet capabilities by fundamentally rewriting Ethereum protocols with verification on fee payment logics. This would have impeded scalability, and so EIP-4337 made consensus layer prerequisites inconsequential. Instead, a memory pool is made to house UserOperation objects on user intent packaged with other verification metrics, such as ecosystem conditions on trades, multi-sig authority, and more. This is bundled as a conditional decision complex on unconfirmed transactions and included with the next Ethereum block. A new regime, known as bundlers, pay the upfront cost of this complex and are compensated through fees allocated to each transaction.
Advantages
User-Friendly: Makes blockchain interactions more accessible to users.
Programmable: Allows for custom rules and logic to control transactions.
While both EOA and AA play crucial roles in the blockchain ecosystem, they
serve different purposes:
Control: EOAs are controlled by individuals through private keys, whereas
AA accounts are controlled by the logic defined in smart contracts.
Flexibility: AA offers greater flexibility and programmability, enabling
a broader range of applications.
User Experience: AA can offer a more user-friendly approach to managing
blockchain transactions, making it easier for non-technical users to engage
with blockchain technology.
Understanding the distinction between EOA and AA is crucial for developers and
users alike, as it influences how transactions are initiated, managed, and
secured on the blockchain.
Now that we have a foundational understanding of EOA and AA, we’re ready to
explore how our platform leverages these concepts to enhance your blockchain
experience. Let’s dive deeper into the world of native yield abstraction and
account management in the following sections.
Within the framework of Native Yield Abstraction,
session keys serve a role
in managing user assets with precision and security. A session key is a
temporally bounded authorization tool, designed to grant limited permissions
for specific actions on the user’s behalf.
Session keys are made to enable essential actions while maintaining strict
security. Here’s what permissions Wallchain requires to make
Interest-bearing Accounts work.
Permissions Scope: For each deposit strategy, the scope is to issue
ERC20 allowance for target vault contract, call the deposit function on the
vault, and reissue allowance back to 0 if needed.
