ZeroDev
Smart account infrastructure for ERC-4337 and EIP-7702 apps, including Kernel accounts, bundlers, paymasters, session keys, gas sponsorship, and chain abstraction.
Also available as JSON · Markdown
Resources
Good for
- smart accounts
- gasless onboarding
- session keys and permissions
- EIP-7702 experiments
- chain-abstracted balances and cross-chain UX
- apps pairing embedded wallets with account abstraction
Avoid for
- teams that need fully self-hosted bundler and paymaster infrastructure from day one
- apps that cannot depend on provider-managed gas policies, RPCs, relays, or plan limits
100/100
Readiness measures how much verified integration surface exists for builders and agents. It does not mean the protocol is easy to use — integration difficulty is tracked separately.

Capabilities
Kernel smart accounts production-ready
Best for: ERC-4337 smart account apps, EIP-7702-compatible account abstraction flows, modular account plugins
- Kernel version, EntryPoint version, validator choice, and chain support must be chosen deliberately before production.
Gas sponsorship and paymaster flows production-ready
Best for: gasless onboarding, sponsored UserOps, ERC20 gas payment flows
- Gas policies must be configured before sponsorship works; reaching policy or account-level limits can make UserOps fail unless fallback middleware is implemented.
Permissions and session keys production-ready
Best for: AI agent transaction constraints, temporary delegated keys, policy-bounded automation
- Permissions require explicit signer, policy, and action design; weak policies can over-delegate account authority.
Chain abstraction beta
Best for: spending balances across chains without manual bridging, USDC, USDT, WETH, and ETH cross-chain flows, apps willing to manage plan limits and solver-dependent execution
- Production chain abstraction requires Scale or Enterprise plan access; network and token coverage are narrower than generic EVM chain support.
Embedded smart wallet beta
Best for: standalone embedded smart account UX, apps replacing seed-phrase wallet flows, teams tracking ZeroDev's July production-readiness milestone
- Treat the embedded smart wallet surface as beta until ZeroDev marks it production-ready; verify docs and support commitments before production launch.
Composes with
privy wallet_and_identity supports
Privy or Dynamic-style WaaS products can handle user auth and embedded wallet onboarding while ZeroDev provides the smart account, paymaster, bundler, and permission layer.
- consumer onboarding with smart accounts
biconomy transactions_and_paymasters alternative
Biconomy is a separate account-abstraction provider for gasless onboarding and sponsored transactions; choose between providers based on chain support, pricing, SDK fit, and operational requirements.
safe operational_controls supports
Safe can manage team treasury and admin operations around a ZeroDev-powered consumer app or marketplace.
erc-8004 agent_identity_and_trust supports
ZeroDev session keys and permissions can constrain agent actions while ERC-8004-style registries provide agent identity, discovery, reputation, and validation signals.
