Bringing web2 users onchain: Picnic’s case study
Duration: 01:07:54
Speaker: João Ferreira
Type: Workshop
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
Account abstraction had mixed success so far. Some specific purpose apps have been getting great usage, but there is still little economic value being transacted using account abstraction and very low repeat usage.
By building Picnic, we discovered that account abstraction is currently much better suited to bring web2 users onchain than to cater for crypto natives. We'll share our learnings from the trenches and offer builders a fresh perspective on how to accelerate adoption.

Butterfly Effects + Paradoxes of Account Abstraction in DeFi
In this session, we’ll dive into the transformative potential of account abstraction in shaping the future of DeFi, exploring both its cascading impacts and inherent paradoxes. By pushing the boundaries of accessibility, onboarding, and wallet capabilities—such as multi-sig, social recovery, custom modules, transaction batching, and advanced transaction logic (ERC-7579)—account abstraction opens up new possibilities for collaborative DeFi, cross-chain interoperability, and enhanced composability

From MPC Wallets to Smart Contract Accounts
The proposal outlines a path for the mass adoption of smart contract accounts by using MPC wallet as a transitional solution. Users can start their web3 journey by using MPC wallets which can be done via social login. Later, users can turn the MPC wallets into smart contract wallets using EIP-7702, enhancing the user experience with feature-rich options while maintaining the security benefits of MPC wallets to protect the EOA private key.

Improving the User Experience by User Research.
This workshop will help you understand your users and their needs, motivations and problems because this is a critical stage in product development. This will help reduce development risks and costs through improved user experience, decision validity, increased user loyalty, etc. We will practice in-depth interviews at the workshop, analyze its results and create a Customer Journey Map.

Activation in crypto -- how crypto apps go mainstream!
In this talk, I'll break down patterns I am seeing having helped onboard 10M+ users to crypto apps. From natives to newcomers, what are the factors that lead to onchain activity and sticky usage in consumer apps. I'll work through the few things that native apps do to onboard mainstream users onchain and how this impacts protocol development moving forward.

Building a Smart Passkey Wallet with AA
Passkeys are now one of the most popular tools in building good UX in Ethereum ecosystem. In this workshop, I will build a secure simple smart wallet utilizing passkeys and start sending basic transactions on L2s. During 2h worksop, we will try to cover lots of topics related to wallet usability and achieve a great example. The power of Account Abstraction with RIP-7212 will be clearly visible.

Chain-abstracted Smart Accounts -- How to Build Amazing Web3 UX in 2024
Chain abstraction (CA) and account abstraction (AA) have been two of the hottest topics in Web3, but few people know how to use them together. In this talk, I will explain how developers can build amazing Web3 experiences by combining AA with CA in the form of "chain-abstracted smart accounts" -- smart accounts that can spend their balances on any chain without bridging.

Building with Intention: Achieving System Qualities through Design Choices
Technical and design decisions should be viewed as means to achieving broader system qualities rather than ends in themselves. This talk reorients our focus on the underlying goals of these decisions, exploring why we build the way we do, what we aim to achieve, and whether there are better ways to reach comparable outcomes. Through examples and case studies, attendees will learn to critically evaluate their design choices and understand the broader implications of their technical strategies.

The Wallet and UX Stack to Build Web3 Applications for the Masses
In this talk I will give an overview of how wallet infrastructure and the relationship between wallets and dapps have evolved over the past 5 years. And give a layer-by-layer breakdown of the modern wallet stack from signers to smart account modules, how each component contributes to a UX unlock on Ethereum/L2s, and how application developers can use them today. We will also touch on pertinent ongoing EIPs such as 7702 (deploy code for EOAs), and 7715 (permissions).
