ERC-4337

Advanced

An Ethereum standard that implements account abstraction without a protocol change, using an alternative mempool of UserOperations, a singleton EntryPoint contract, and a permissionless bundler network. ERC-4337 enables smart-contract wallets to pay gas in ERC-20 tokens, batch transactions, and implement arbitrary signature validation. It is the foundation for most next-generation Ethereum wallet architectures.
