Semaphore Modular Smart Account Modules
Project Artifacts
Origin
This project emerges from the idea of integrating Semaphore within an account abstraction framework. While previous attempts have been made (as detailed in this blog post), they faced limitations due to the available tool stacks and Semaphore's storage access pattern at that time. These constraints made it challenging to create modules that could comply with the account abstraction validation scope rules.
However, the landscape has evolved significantly in the past year. New EIPs have emerged, notably the Modular Smart Account standard (ERC-7579). Additionally, numerous teams have developed tools that simplify smart account module development. This progress has created an opportune moment to revisit our design choices and approach.
After engaging in discussions with the Privacy and Scaling Exploration team, we've formulated a proposal to create Semaphore modules that adhere to the ERC-7579 standard. Smart accounts equipped with these modules will be able to leverage Semaphore's capabilities, allowing them to prove that their members have initiated transactions in a privacy-preserving manner.
To showcase these features, we have also developed a frontend demo UI. This demonstration will provide developers with a hands-on experience of the power and potential of Semaphore in account abstraction.
