🌿Core Standards

The foundational specifications of Account Abstraction, including ERC-4337, validation rules, and protocol-level proposals like RIP-7560.

This section summarizes the foundational specifications that make up the Account Abstraction ecosystem — both live standards and emerging protocol-level proposals.

Each spec in this section plays a critical role in enabling smart contract wallets to function securely, flexibly, and permissionlessly on Ethereum.

📄 Included Standards

• ERC-4337: The backbone of account abstraction via a decentralized alt-mempool and EntryPoint contract.

• ERC-7562: Defines validation-phase restrictions to protect bundlers from griefing and ensure deterministic behavior.

• EIP-7701: A protocol-level proposal to bring native account abstraction to Ethereum, building on the lessons of ERC-4337.

• RIP-7560: Adds native account abstraction to L2s via a new transaction type, enabling built-in validation, gas delegation, and onchain paymasters — without relying on ERC-4337 infrastructure.

• RIP-7711: Establishes interface and behavior rules for AA wallet deployment and upgradeability under RIP-7560.

• RIP-7712: Specifies how to manage gas payments and refunds under RIP-7560’s delegated fee model.

Together, these documents define the validation logic, execution model, gas flow, and wallet behavior of smart accounts — both in today’s ERC-4337 world and in the upcoming native AA future.

🧠 If you're building wallets, bundlers, paymasters, or infra — this is where to go deep.
