Powering Chain Abstraction Through Universal Accounts
Last updated
Particle Network is the Layer-1 blockchain powering chain abstraction, seamlessly unifying users and liquidity across Web3. At its core are Universal Accounts, which provide users with a single account and unified balance across all chains. These accounts are coordinated and secured by Particle Network, ensuring a frictionless experience across the entire Web3 ecosystem.
By unifying all chains, Particle will enable billions of users to seamlessly onboard and interact with dApps across every chain, serving as the foundation for mass adoption and playing an indispensable role in unifying the Open Web.
Eventually, the $PARTI token will power the economy of Particle Network and its underlying infrastructure.
Launched in 2022, Particle Network debuted as a Wallet Abstraction service provider, enabling users to create wallets linked to their Web2 social accounts, which can then be used natively within dApp-embedded interfaces. This product offering then expanded into Account Abstraction, where Particle Network became Web3's largest provider of AA infrastructure, offering services across 70+ chains, with ~20M cumulative UserOps and securing $2B+.
Particle's solutions also span the Bitcoin ecosystem through BTC Connect, used by all major BTC Layer-2 blockchains. BTC Connect enables native BTC wallets to act as Signers for Particle AA Wallets on BTC L2s. This allows users to use only native Bitcoin wallets (like UniSat) to sign and authorize transactions on Smart Accounts without relying on additional products.
After over 30 million wallet activations and over 7,000 dApp integrations later, Particle Network is taking the next step in its evolution by debuting Universal Accounts to power chain abstraction, taking Web3 to the next level in UX terms.
Furthermore, Particle has also built the first chain-agnostic Mainnet application leveraging Universal Accounts: UniversalX.
