Readiness score

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.

Known issues

Gas sponsorship needs policy and fallback design medium confirmed Workaround: Configure gas policies before launch, monitor usage limits, and implement paymaster fallback middleware for actions that should proceed without sponsorship.
Chain abstraction has token, network, and pricing limits medium confirmed Workaround: Before production, verify the exact input/output chains, supported tokens, gas-token mode, and plan tier for each user flow.
