1/ Native account abstraction ✨

At Privy, we focus on making sure infra gets out of your way so you can build incredible, secure apps.

Today, we're proud to make AA far easier by auto-provisioning smart wallets for all users, unlocking gas sponsorship, tx batching, and more!

You guys keep shipping. My Main (and strictly personal issue) worry is that how easy it is to fall into a vendor lock trap :D At least this is one vendor lock that I'm somewhat happy to get into

in web3? idk, need to think a bit. viem/wagmi perhaps? :D but this is also not a bad one. Vendor lock can be ok, until you have to pay for it and then months of refactor to replace with something else. I think the main benefit of tools like Privy is time saved. Yes we could spend months building our own embedded wallet solution, integrate SIWE, add social/farcaster login, add on-ramp, etc etc. But if the goal is to get users asap and validate your product, spending months on authentication doesn't sound wise

where do you think there is bigger vendor lock?

This was my hesitation also but have been convinced otherwise
