ERC-7579
A standard for modular smart-contract accounts — defines how validation, execution, hook, and fallback modules plug into an ERC-4337 wallet.
ERC-7579 formalizes the modular smart-account pattern: an account contract is broken into pluggable modules — validators (signature schemes), executors (action handlers), hooks (pre/post-execution logic), and fallbacks (delegate handlers for unknown selectors).
Wallet vendors (Safe, Biconomy, ZeroDev, Rhinestone) implement ERC-7579 so that the same module can be installed across any compliant wallet. The standard is positioned as the connective tissue for the broader account-abstraction module ecosystem.
