Clave Launches on zkSync Era at Devconnect
This week at Devconnect, Clave launched on zkSync Era, showcasing two powerful payment use cases at zkCafé and zkBazaar in Istanbul. Utilizing native account abstraction, Clave offers a frictionless user experience for wallet interactions, with biometric-powered smart wallets. Attendees at Devconnect experienced the power of native account abstraction and received free refreshments and local goods while making crypto payments with Clave. Clave plans to implement additional usability features such as biometric authentication, sponsored transactions, paymasters, and social recovery, as well as introduce session keys, trusted onchain accounts, and daily spending limits for enhanced security.
At the zkBazaar during @EFDevconnect, you'll have the chance to see live performances, experience zkSync Era's native account abstraction IRL on @getclave, and pick up some (free) local trinkets that you'd find at the Grand Bazaar. RSVP: lu.ma/zkBazaar
