Frequently asked questions
What is Abstract and what are its primary use cases?
Abstract is an Ethereum mainnet Layer 2 that uses ETH as gas and is optimized for intent- and agent-driven applications. Primary use cases include automated DeFi execution, gasless smart‑wallet flows via ERC‑4337 paymasters, on‑chain bots/schedulers, and low‑latency gaming or social interactions. For performance benchmarking, public trackers commonly show sub‑cent median L2 fees, ~2–3s block times, and sustained double‑digit TPS with higher short‑term bursts, with settlement finalized on Ethereum.
What makes Abstract unique compared to other blockchain networks?
Abstract differentiates itself by making intents, automation, and gas sponsorship first‑class primitives—bundling an agent runtime, schedulers, and paymaster support directly into an EVM‑compatible network that uses ETH for gas. Security and finality are anchored to Ethereum (rollup settlement), enabling fast L2 confirmations while inheriting L1 guarantees; in practice, users see seconds‑level confirmations, sub‑cent median fees, and TPS competitive with leading L2s. This focus reduces integration overhead for autonomous apps versus general‑purpose L2s and simplifies cross‑chain onboarding via a canonical bridge and builder‑friendly SDKs.
What is the gas token used for Abstract, and how to get it?
Abstract uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
How to bridge to Abstract network?
