what's ZeroDev?
ZeroDev is a smart account development platform designed to enhance Web3 user experiences by enabling seamless integration of account abstraction features. It supports standards like ERC-4337 and EIP-7702, allowing developers to create programmable wallets that eliminate traditional barriers such as gas fees, seed phrases, and cross-chain complexities. Through its SDK, apps and wallets can implement social authentication, passkey signers, gas sponsorship via paymasters, and transaction bundling, fostering instant onboarding and frictionless interactions across blockchains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and zkSync. The platform's UltraRelay solution merges bundlers and paymasters into a unified relay, reducing gas costs by up to 30% and latency for sponsored transactions. This enables apps to cover user gas via credits or fiat, with policy controls for spending. Acquired by Offchain Labs in 2025, ZeroDev powers over five million smart accounts and collaborates with projects like Infinex and DIMO, emphasizing cross-chain state synchronization and universal intents to unify balances and improve interoperability in decentralized ecosystems.
