OKX Pioneers the ERC-7579 Standard, Streamlining Developers' Ability to Customize and Improve the Web3 User Experience

  • OKX's first co-authorship of Ethereum Request for Comment (ERC) standard, in collaboration with Biconomy, ZeroDev and Rhinestone, seeks to enhance interoperability and improve Web3 wallets' end-user experience

  • New 'Module Store' to foster greater integration and bridge the gap between different wallet service providers

Singapore, February 20, 2024 OKX, a leading Web3 technology company, today announced that it has partnered with Web3 leaders Biconomy, ZeroDev and Rhinestone to co-publish the ERC-7579 standard, which outlines technical standards for simplifying and unifying the management of 'Modular Smart Accounts.' The standard aims to enable developers to customize and deploy improved Web3 experiences more easily for end-users.

Modular Smart Accounts are a component of account abstraction technology that enable smart contract accounts to have plug-and-play module-like functionality through plugins, enabling developers to introduce enhanced functionalities such as automated transactions, improved security protocols and customizable permissions.

For example, smart accounts can be customized to enable users to set up wallets using an existing email address, eliminating the need to remember seed phrases. However, the management of these accounts can be complex, leading to compatibility issues and a lack of interoperability across a variety of wallet service providers.

This is where the ERC-7579 standard comes into play. It was developed to build on previous standards, such as ERC-6900, which similarly seeks to foster a growing ecosystem of both smart account and plugin developers. ERC-7579 aims to standardize essential interfaces for Modular Smart Accounts, simplifying its management without imposing extensive requirements for developers.

To realize its goals, ERC-7579 is designed to achieve two technical objectives:

  • To provide a minimal and standardized approach for handling Modular Smart Accounts

  • To enhance the interoperability of modular smart accounts across different wallet service providers

By introducing the ERC-7579 standard, OKX, Biconomy, ZeroDev and Rhinestone aim to enhance interoperability among various smart accounts, minimize fragmentation in the Smart Account community and foster a more integrated blockchain ecosystem. In addition, it paves the way for a 'Module Store,' where any developer can create modules that work well with different smart accounts, opening up a world of possibilities in the realm of Web3 wallets and related solutions.

OKX Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau said: "We're incredibly proud to be part of this pioneering effort to introduce the ERC-7579 standard. ERC-7579 is a new standard focused on ensuring interoperability across different Web3 wallets, and will help lay the foundation for industry-wide innovation. We're excited about the potential user benefits and look forward to implementing this across our products.”

OKX has been a significant innovator in the account abstraction field, launching its AA-enabled 'Smart Account' feature on August 1, 2023. This allows OKX Wallet users to pay for transactions on multiple blockchains using USDC or USDT. In the coming months, OKX Wallet plans to introduce more capabilities to its Smart Account, such as social recovery functionality, enabling users to choose trusted "guardians" from their social network to assist in recovering their Smart Account if they misplace their keys.

Expanding Our Partnership with Standard Chartered into the European Economic Area

Written by Erald Ghoos, CEO for OKX Europe We’re expanding our partnership with Standard Chartered into the European Economic Area (EEA). When we first partnered with Standard Chartered in the UAE earlier this year, we launched our collateral mirroring programme —a first-of-its-kind service that allows institutional clients to keep their assets securely with a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) while mirroring those balances into OKX for trading. This innovation gives clients the best of both worlds: bank-grade custody and seamless exchange access, helping them reduce counterparty risk, strengthen asset security, and trade with greater confidence.

Bitcoin ETFs: The Game's Just Got to a Whole New Level

The approval of a Bitcoin ETF marks a significant milestone towards the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. The ETF is an easy-to-access financial instrument that helps establish the legitimacy of bitcoin and has the marketing power to bring it to a wider population, potentially in the billions - we've already seen a few bitcoin ETF marketing campaigns. Through its reach, the bitcoin ETF will also make it easier for more institutions (and less crypto-native retail customers) to access bitcoin indirectly, and attract more talent to our industry.
