+title: Chain Abstraction at OpenZeppelin
+---
+
+Our work focuses on building the secure primitives for cross-chain messaging, intent-based execution, and unified account experiences, creating a world where users and assets move freely across ecosystems with complexity abstracted away from users.
+
+## Ecosystem Contributions
+
+We have partnered with ecosystems and projects to deliver contracts libraries and tooling for cross-chain coordination and smart accounts.

+## Cross-Chain Intents
+
+Universal format for expressing and fulfilling user actions across chains.
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **Simplified Onboarding to Chains and Apps**: Onboard users by automating gas, approvals, and cross chain setup, allowing users to interact with any app or network instantly without prior configuration.
+
+- **Abstracted Gas and Settlement**: Allows operation across multiple chains without managing native gas tokens or complex bridge flows.
+
+- **Token Bridging and Swapping**: Enable seamless asset transfers and swaps across chains, abstracting away bridge risks and fragmented liquidity.
+
+- **Universal Balances**: Users can maintain a single cross chain balance, allowing applications to fetch, display, and transact from unified liquidity sources.
+
+### Standards
+
+- **ERC-7683: Cross Chain Intents** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7683) that enables cross chain value transfer using a standard api. OpenZeppelin is a contributor to and leading the redesign of the ERC through the [Open Intents Framework](https://www.openintents.xyz) and is building contracts libraries in the [Open Intents Framework Contracts Repo](https://github.com/openintentsframework/oif-contracts).
+
+- **ERC-7888: Cross Chain Broadcaster** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7888) that enables cross chain messaging using storage proofs. OpenZeppelin is a contributor to the ERC through the [Open Intents Framework](https://www.openintents.xyz) and is building contracts libraries in the [Open Intents Framework Broadcaster Repo](https://github.com/openintentsframework/broadcaster).
+
+### Associations
+
+- **Open Intents Framework**: The [group](https://www.openintents.xyz/) is building a modular, open source framework for building and deploying intent product experiences by providing ready-to-use, protocol-agnostic features for solvers, interop providers, and cross-chain builders. OpenZeppelin is a [member](https://www.openintents.xyz/#1976d35200d68051bfe5f0bdb3ced9bc) with many major organizations.
+
+## Cross-Chain Messaging
+
+Common interface for sending and receiving messages across chains.
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **State Synchronization for Multi-Chain Apps**: Use single controller contract or governance action to coordinate updates on multiple chains.
+
+- **Token Bridges**: Enables verifiable message passing between bridge contracts, ensuring consistent state and transfer logic across multiple chains without relying on trusted intermediaries.
+
+- **Intent Settlement**: Facilitates secure delivery and confirmation of intent execution results across chains, allowing applications to finalize actions and synchronize states.
+
+### Standards
+
+- **ERC-7786: Cross Chain Messaging Gateway** (last call): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7786) that enables cross-chain messaging via a universal gateway interface. OpenZeppelin co-authored the standard with Axelar and is building contracts libraries in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Community Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-community-contracts/tree/master/contracts/crosschain).
+
+## Smart Accounts
+
+Composable architecture that enables customizable modules to support secure and extensible account functionality.
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **Gasless Transactions**: Allow users to interact with apps without holding native tokens, enabling seamless onboarding.
+
+- **Social Recovery**: Allow trusted guardians to securely restore access to accounts without centralized intermediaries.
+
+- **Keyless Signatures**: Authenticate and approve transactions using biometrics, hardware modules, or passkeys instead of a traditional private key.
+
+### Standards
+
+- **ERC-4337: Account Abstraction Using Alt Mempool** (final): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337) that enables account abstraction using an alternative mempool. OpenZeppelin has built contracts libraries for modular smart accounts in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/tree/master/contracts/account) and [Wizard](https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/#account) integration.
+
+- **ERC-7579: Minimal Modular Smart Accounts** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7579) that enables interoperability between accounts and modules. OpenZeppelin has built contracts libraries for modules in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Community Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-community-contracts/tree/master/contracts/account/modules) and [Wizard](https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/#account) integration.
+
+- **EIP-7702: Set Code for EOAs** (complete): A [protocol standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7702) that enables EOA’s to adopt smart contract capabilities using a new transaction type to set code in their account. OpenZeppelin has built contracts libraries for modules in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/utils/cryptography/signers/SignerEIP7702.sol) and [Wizard](https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/#account) integration.
+
+- **ERC-7739: Readable Typed Signatures for Smart Accounts** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7739) for a defensive rehashing scheme which prevents signature replays across smart accounts and preserves the readability of the signed contents. OpenZeppelin co-authored the standard and is building contracts libraries in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/utils/cryptography/signers/draft-ERC7739.sol).
+
+- **ERC-7821: Minimal Batch Executor Interface** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7821) for a minimal batch executor interface for delegations. OpenZeppelin co-authored the standard and is building contracts libraries in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/account/extensions/draft-ERC7821.sol).
+
+- **ERC-7913: Signature Verifiers** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7913) that enables signature verification for address-less keys (e.g. email, non-ethereum cryptographic curves). OpenZeppelin authored the standard and is building contracts libraries in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/tree/master/contracts/utils/cryptography/verifiers).
+
+- **SNIP-6: Standard Account Interface** (review): A [standard](https://github.com/starknet-io/SNIPs/blob/main/SNIPS/snip-6.md) for a standard interface for accounts. OpenZeppelin co-authored the standard and is building contracts libraries in the [OpenZeppelin Staknet Cairo Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/cairo-contracts/tree/main/packages/account).
+
+## Private Email Verification
+
+Ownership of accounts using email.
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **Send Crypto Using Only Email Address**: Users can authorize transactions (e.g. send money, DAO voting, any blockchain transaction) by proving control of their email address with no private key management required. Email never revealed!
+
+- **Recover Account Using Email Gaurdians**: Lost keys can be restored by proving control of an email account, enabling user-friendly recovery.
+
+### Standards
+
+- **ERC-7969: DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Registry** (draft): A [standard](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7969) that enables trustless email ownership verification using a DKIM restistry. OpenZeppelin co-authored with OKX and is building contracts libraries in the [OpenZeppelin Solidity Community Contracts Repo](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-community-contracts/blob/master/contracts/utils/cryptography/DKIMRegistry.sol).
