New figures show hardly anyone is using ERC-4337 smart accounts

In a Nov. 14 post on X (previously Twitter), Rising shared data points that showed ERC-4337-enabled smart accounts suffered a decline in users, low deal activity and poor functional expenses for core facilities providers.The ERC-4337 standard was released through a surprise March 1 announcement at WalletCon in Denver. Using figures from account abstraction information platform BundleBear, Rising claimed monthly account retention had actually been “awful” with just 6.89% of all the preliminary clever accounts having actually stuck around for more than 6 months.Retention is terrible.The one exception to this is CyberConnect, who had a lot of users return to declare an airdrop.Data: @ 0xBundleBear pic.twitter.com/TUzQQJYcp8— John Rising (@johnrising_) November 13, 2023

Rising likewise highlighted that bundlers– core infrastructure elements that enable smart accounts to operate on EVM-compatible chains– were mainly unprofitable in spite of some projects unintentionally paying “too much” in gas to the bundlers. In addition, the typical clever account was discovered to have only sent out 5 user operations– the execution of deals or activities from the account.

Growth appears to be healthy, standardization appears to be happening,” Pollak stated. “More and more groups Im talking to are making the jump.” fwiw, this does not feel sobering to me – simply seems very early. growth appears to be healthy, standardization seems to be occurring, increasingly more groups im talking with are making the jump. gradually, then suddenly:) https://t.co/F7sU4xUqbD— Jesse Pollak (jesse.xyz) (@jessepollak) November 13, 2023
