Contribution

We used Account Abstraction to solve the largest issue that new AI developers face today: getting paid for their work while preventing spam. They are overwhelmed by bots after releasing a new product and can't charge a monthly fee that users are not willing to pay. Crypto micropayments have not historically been possible due to high mainnet gas costs and slow, cumbersome transaction UX. However, we use embedded wallets and ERC4337 to allow new users to sign up via SMS, fund their account, and directly pay developers every time they use the app. No seed phrases, no transaction confirmation, no gas. On an L2 like Optimism or Base, users can try out new AI apps for cents on the dollar and developers can bootstrap a user base without going broke.

Impact

We premiered this project during the EthGlobal NYC hackathon and were overwhelmed with support from those that we demo'ed and spoke to. Many of the people we talked to told us that they were surprised to learn that such a “web2” like UX was already possible to achieve! Apps that bridge the knowledge gap between web2 and web3 are necessary for mass adoption — we just wanted to create a really fun LLM app while using crypto as the infrastructure, and we succeeded in doing so. We also wanted to share just how great our developing experience was with other builders so we did a quick demo at the first Base Builders community session. We hope that other developers were inspired by our work!
