The Ethereum Foundation(EF) has announced a new grant program, Account Abstraction, to bridge the education, technology, and macroeconomics gaps. The application for the grant program runs from February 27 to March 31. According to the February 28 report, the grant program targets developers majoring in the Account Abstraction sector. The report revealed that Ethereum Foundation funds would be at most $300000.
Purpose of Account Abstraction Grant
The 2023 Account Abstraction grant program was launched on February 28 by the Ethereum Foundation. During the launch, the Ethereum team announced the grant program would support startups developing innovative devices, such as smart contract digital wallets, to improve payment methods.
Also, the team revealed that Account Abstraction (AA) development aims at replacing the traditional user private keys with a smart contract system. The advancement will reduce transaction costs and improve the account validation mechanism.
Interestingly, the need to transform the Account Abstraction sector has inspired the Ethereum Foundation to invest in providing an innovative solution using multi-sig digital wallets.
Beyond this, interested individuals are encouraged to send their grant proposal before March 31. The grant program will accept applications from Account Abstraction enthusiasts across the globe.
Besides the grant, Ethereum Foundation affirmed to extend their technical support to the grantee in the quest to improve the Account Abstraction sector. The team encouraged the diverse group in the community to actively participate in the program by submitting their proposal.

Significance of the Grant

In 2022, the Chainlink Community made a move to create funding opportunities for crypto developers and researchers in an attempt to solve real-world problems.
