Account Abstraction (AA) Smart Contract Wallets represent the next evolution in blockchain asset management. These innovative wallets combine the security of smart contracts with advanced features like batch transactions, gas delegation, key recovery, and more.
Initially, OKX Wallet will support AA Smart Account creation across seven major chains: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and OKTC.
Key Benefits of AA Smart Accounts
- Enhanced Security: Implement multifactor authentication and account recovery protocols
- Greater Efficiency: Complex actions like DEX token swaps now complete in single transactions
- User-Friendly Design: Pay gas fees with any token (including stablecoins) and enable third-party gas payments
- Expanded Opportunities: Customizable smart contract functionality while maintaining OKX Wallet's security standards
Creating or Importing an AA Smart Account
AA Smart Accounts derive from general accounts to control on-chain behavior and account recovery. The process requires wallet creation first - similar to standard OKX Wallet setup but with added smart contract capabilities.

- Manually add the corresponding number of accounts to locate your AA Smart Account
