What is Particle Network?

Particle Network is an account-level chain abstraction provider addressing Web3's fragmentation of users and liquidity through Universal Accounts. Particle's chain abstraction is powered by a Cosmos SDK L1 blockchain enabling the experience of a single account, balance, and address that can be used across all chains, allowing users to interact with any dApp and pay gas with any token.

In short: one account, one balance, any chain.

Overview

Particle Network, known for its Wallet Abstraction solutions bringing social logins alongside ERC-4337 AA to the broader ecosystem, maintains an account-level technology, "Universal Accounts," existing solely to provide users with a consistent, chain-agnostic experience across the ecosystem.

In essence, Universal Accounts consolidate balances across all chains, giving users constant access to a "universal" balance irrespective of the chains in which funds are held on.

Key Components

• Universal Liquidity: Automatic (intent-based) bridging of assets across chains as needed to fund user operations.
• Universal Gas: Custom Paymaster implementation enabling the payment of gas in any asset, from any chain.
• Universal Account: The materialization of the two aforementioned components, leveraging smart accounts (ERC-4337) as the foundation.

Gas Abstraction

Pay gas in any token, originating from any chain; removing the requirement for end-users to hold distinct gas tokens for each chain being used.

Account Abstraction

Through the underlying usage of AA, signature simplification (multi-chain signatures, session keys, etc.), gasless (sponsored) transactions, and other features are used.

Balance Consolidation

Universalization of balances across chains, allowing for transactions to be paid using any token held on any chain, providing users with a single balance usable anywhere.

Developer Tools

Offers a robust set of APIs and SDKs for easy integration of abstraction features into dApps.

• Simplifies and enhances user experience, eliminating the need for users to pay mind to distinct chains
• Enables seamless cross-chain interactions
• Reduces friction for end-users, especially those new to blockchain
• Offers a secure environment for managing digital assets

Particle Network brings chain abstraction to the account-level through Universal Accounts, agnostifying users from the chains they're using.
