Abstract
A ZK Stack-based Layer-2 focused on consumer applications — native account abstraction, gas-free UX for end users via paymasters, social-account onboarding.
Abstract launched in 2024 as a consumer-focused ZK rollup built on the ZK Stack (zkSync's framework). The chain ships native account abstraction (per-user smart contract wallets), gas-free UX via sponsored paymasters, and integrations with social-login providers that lower the on-ramp friction for non-crypto users.
The pitch is "blockchain for consumer apps without crypto-native UX requirements." Pudgy Penguins is one of the more prominent early native projects.
