AA Community Hub - Devcon 7 SEA (2024)

A dedicated event space for the Account Abstraction ecosystem, held at Devcon 7 in Southeast Asia.

The Account Abstraction Community Hub was a dedicated gathering space at Devcon 7 (Thailand, 2024), designed to bring together the many sub-communities advancing Account Abstraction (AA). It served as a Schelling point for wallet developers, SDK maintainers, bundler and Paymaster teams, standards authors, and builders working to onboard the next billion users to Ethereum via AA.

🎯 Purpose

The AA Hub was created to:

  • Facilitate informal collaboration across AA sub-domains
  • Provide a physical location for demos, AMAs, and office hours
  • Anchor the post-talk follow-up space for AA-related presentations
  • Educate and onboard attendees curious about smart accounts

It operated daily during Devcon’s open hours (10am–4pm), with rotating sessions hosted by AA ecosystem teams.

🧠 Topics and Activities

Activities included:

  • Guided demos of smart wallets, Paymasters, SDKs
  • Fireside chats on modular account design, shared mempools, and session keys
  • Office hours with teams like Pimlico, Etherspot, Base, Candide
  • Roundtable discussions on native AA standards (e.g. RIP-7560) and protocol upgrades
  • Community presentations from grant recipients and researchers

These sessions reflected the diversity of technical and UX challenges in smart wallet development.

🔗 Origin and Structure

The hub was proposed and approved via DIP-52, led by the EF AA PM team with support from dozens of contributors and volunteers.

Teams signed up for hourly slots, driving the conversation or hosting interactive sessions around:

  • Wallet UX
  • Gas sponsorship
  • Modular accounts
  • Native AA (RIP-7560)
  • Delegation, passkeys, and recovery

✅ Summary

The AA Community Hub was the first event of its kind—a dedicated space for decentralized wallet infra, user-first UX, and open collaboration around ERC-4337 and beyond. It set a strong precedent for future Devcon integrations and showed the strength and cohesion of the AA ecosystem.
