Overview
A smart contract wallet is a wallet whose logic is defined by a smart contract, enabling recovery and automation. It goes beyond basic key accounts. It is enabled by account abstraction.
How It Works
The contract defines validation rules, such as multisig, recovery, and spending limits. Transactions execute via contract logic. This enables programmable ownership.
Why It Matters
Smart contract wallets improve security and usability, making wallets recoverable and flexible. They are key to mainstream adoption. They represent the evolution of wallets.
