Frequently asked questions about ZeroDev
Clear answers on smart accounts, embedded wallets, gas sponsorship, Smart Routing Address, orchestration, permissions, pricing, and implementation.
What is ZeroDev?
ZeroDev is wallet infrastructure for apps that want faster, simpler, and more programmable onchain experiences. It helps teams build with smart accounts, gas sponsorship, session keys, embedded wallets, transaction batching, and chain abstraction without stitching together multiple wallet and account-abstraction providers.
What are smart accounts?
Smart accounts are programmable wallets controlled by smart contracts instead of a single private key. With ZeroDev, smart accounts can support features like passkeys, social login, gasless transactions, batched actions, account recovery, session keys, and custom permissions.
How does ZeroDev improve user experience?
ZeroDev reduces the wallet friction that slows down onchain apps: repeated signatures, native-token gas requirements, separate approvals, and visible wallet handoffs. Teams can create branded flows where users sign less, transact faster, and stay inside the product experience.
What are session keys?
Session keys let an app temporarily authorize specific actions without asking the user to approve every transaction. In ZeroDev’s permissions system, teams can define who can act, when they can act, and what actions are allowed, making session keys useful for trading, gaming, AI agents, and other high-frequency flows.
Can ZeroDev sponsor gas for users?
Yes. ZeroDev supports gas sponsorship so users can interact with an app without needing native tokens first. Teams can configure sponsorship policies to control when gas is covered, helping improve conversion while protecting against overspending.
What is UltraRelay?
UltraRelay is ZeroDev’s gas sponsorship and relay infrastructure, designed to make sponsored transactions more reliable and cost-efficient. It supports teams that need fast execution, especially for high-volume or latency-sensitive product flows.
Does ZeroDev support embedded wallets?
Yes. ZeroDev can power embedded smart accounts inside a product’s own onboarding and user experience. It can also work alongside wallet-as-a-service providers such as Privy or Dynamic, depending on the app’s stack and user journey.
Can existing apps migrate to ZeroDev?
Yes, but migration should be planned carefully. Teams often need to consider provider changes, address continuity, existing user trust, 1271 signature verification, and whether the migration feels like an upgrade rather than a restriction. ZeroDev is a strong fit when teams want to consolidate fragmented wallet infrastructure into one programmable smart-account stack.
What kinds of teams use ZeroDev?
ZeroDev is built for teams creating consumer crypto apps, wallets, exchanges, games, trading products, AI-agent experiences, and other onchain apps where UX and execution speed matter. It is especially useful for teams that need fewer signatures, sponsored gas, branded embedded flows, policy controls, and programmable account behavior.
