What it can do
How the score breaks down
Each dimension is explained on the methodology page.
Where it is strong and where it is not
✓ Strengths
- Pay transaction fees in stablecoins instead of the native gas token
- Batch several actions into one transaction
- Fully open source
- Works as a standard wallet too if you prefer
✗ Weaknesses
- Smart account contracts add a risk layer
- Smaller user base
- Not every dapp handles smart accounts perfectly
Incident history
No security breach or significant incident on record.
Smart accounts are contracts. They can do things a normal wallet cannot, and they carry contract risk a normal wallet does not.
Reputation and reviews
A reputation score out of 100, kept separate from the feature score above. It reflects what users actually report over time rather than a star rating scraped on one day.
REPUTATION
76/100
One of the better account abstraction implementations. Paying gas in a stablecoin removes the most common beginner trap of holding tokens but no gas.
Check current reviews yourself
Star ratings change constantly, so we link to the sources rather than printing a number that is out of date the day after it is written.
If something goes wrong
COMMON FIXES
Transaction stuck pendingYour transaction has sat as Pending for minutes or hours and nothing is moving.Transaction failed but the gas was still takenThe transaction reverted, you got nothing, and the fee left your wallet anyway.Token is not showing in my walletThe block explorer shows the tokens arrived, but the wallet shows nothing.I sent tokens to the wrong networkYou withdrew to your address but picked the wrong chain, and the balance is not where you expected.
RISK WARNING
Crypto assets are highly volatile and largely unregulated. You can lose everything you put in.
Nothing on this page is financial, investment or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation
to buy or sell any asset. Do your own research and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
