Account Abstraction Accessibility Improved with Ethereum Pectra Upgrade, Ambire and Trust Wallet Implement the Change
May 08, 2025 at 06:35 pm
The Ethereum Pectra upgrade introduced a significant upgrade in account abstraction accessibility, with multiple wallets already implementing the change.
The Pectra upgrade on Ethereum brought a breakthrough in account abstraction accessibility, with several wallets swiftly integrating the change.
Pectra introduced Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7702, a change that Ivo Georgiev, founder and CEO of self-custodial smart wallet Ambire, described as "the single greatest UX upgrade to Ethereum so far," in an email statement to Cointelegraph. Ambire is among the wallet providers that have already rolled out support for the new features since Pectra went live yesterday, July 5.
Ambire’s announcement explains that EIP-7702 brings smart account functionality to existing user accounts, letting them temporarily act as smart contracts. This results in the advantages of account abstraction being accessible without creating new dedicated onchain addresses, rendering the transition of existing addresses possible.
Another wallet that launched new features was Trust Wallet, allowing users to pay gas (transaction fees) in tokens such as stablecoins instead of Ether (ETH). The new wallets are also programmable and still ensure self-custody.
Ambire's take on the update
According to an Ambire announcement, key features users can now enjoy without switching accounts include a crosschain by default architecture, with one Ambire dashboard showing balances on all supported chains, and one Ambire wallet being used across all blockchains. The system uses a decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator Li.Fi for its swap and bridging needs.
The company also promises transaction simulation across all supported chains, scam application detection and minimal token approvals. This statement follows some developers raising concerns that EIP-7702 provided a new avenue for phishing campaigns to empty entire wallets at once.
Ambire also claimed that it does not rely on third-party services, allowing for better privacy features and higher reliability (no third party whose outage will result in a wallet outage). The firm also said that the new accounts are more easily accessible to AI agents.
Georgiev claimed that Ambire’s offering is the first on the market since Trust Wallet announced that it will be "live soon." Ambire’s updated system was deployed minutes after the update during a live X conference.
Trust Wallet's new systems
Trust Wallet's announcement describes the upgrade as the biggest since Ethereum’s full transition to proof-of-stake in the "merge" event. The firm's CEO, Eowyn Chen, said: "We are excited to introduce the future of web3 wallets with Trust Wallet’s new account abstraction capabilities, powered by Pectra and EIP-7702."
Trust Wallet promises its users will be able to pay fees in tokens that are not Ether and bundle multiple actions in one transaction, for instance, approving, swapping and signing a transaction all at once. The new wallet will also support sponsored transactions where third parties can cover gas fees to onboard new users and automated actions such as subscriptions, dollar-cost averaging and more.
All those features will become available to existing users without re-creating new accounts with new seed phrases. Like Ambire, Trust Wallet also developed its account abstraction infrastructure in-house, minimizing data sharing and reliance on third parties.
“Our vision is to evolve wallets from static key holders into intelligent, user-friendly agents that can seamlessly interact with the blockchain world on behalf of the user,” Chen said.

- How Crypto Conquered Washington and Set the Stage for the Next Bubble
- Jun 07, 2025 at 11:50 pm
- On February 11, 2025, Representative Sean Casten, an Illinois Democrat who sits on the House Financial Services Committee, questioned crypto industry executives at a public hearing about the dangers of the president of the United States launching a memecoin. These crypto tokens are also known as “shitcoins” since they’re widely considered worthless, a tool for pump-and-dump schemes. Because the rules of congressional decorum had not accommodated themselves to the vulgar conventions of 21st-century financial technologies, Casten had to phrase his question carefully.
