Key Features for Developers

This section provides a high-level overview of NERO Chain’s key features that make it an ideal platform for developers. Knowing these characteristics will enable you to fully use NERO Chain for developing your apps.

Native Account Abstraction

Using a native ERC-4337 Account Abstraction implementation, NERO Chain provides developers with advanced tools allowing them to construct better user experiences:

Smart Contract Wallets

Unlike traditional Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs), smart contract wallets on NERO Chain provide:

• Programmable Authorization: Implement any verification logic for transaction approval.
• Multi-signature Support: Require multiple signers for transaction authorization.
• Social Recovery: Enable account recovery through trusted friends or services.
• Session Keys: Implement limited-use keys for specific applications or time periods.

UserOperation and Bundlers

At the core of Account Abstraction is the UserOperation object:

• Flexible Transaction Format: Completely separates the user’s intent from the transaction execution.
• Bundlers: Specialized nodes that package multiple UserOperations into a single transaction.
• Mempool Management: Dedicated mempool for UserOperations enhances predictability.

Paymaster System

The Paymaster is a core component that enables flexible gas payment mechanisms. And the AA Platform gives the developer an easy-to-use way to configure everything on the fly.

Payment Options

• Sponsored Transactions (Free): Developers can fully cover gas costs for users.
• ERC20 Token Payments: Users can pay gas fees using supported ERC20 tokens instead of NERO.
• Pre-fund/Post-fund Models: Choose between upfront payments or after-execution settlements.

Integration Benefits

• Token Utility: Increase your token’s utility by enabling it for gas payments.
• User Experience: Remove the need for users to own NERO tokens to interact with your dApp.
• Flexible Pricing Models: Implement subscription models, free trials, or per-action pricing.

Blockspace 2.0

Regarding fees, conventional blockchain systems handle every transaction the same. With Blockspace 2.0, a breakthrough approach to controlling transaction costs and resources, NERO Chain transforms that, guaranteeing flexibility, efficiency, and justice.

Unique UX with Smarter Fees

• Custom price models: Developers may create unique price models for their particular demands, therefore matching expenses with those of their consumers.
• Fee Sharing: Should your dApp create transactions, users and developers stand to gain from a split of the network fees.
• Stable Pricing: NERO’s approach seeks a more predictable charge structure than wild fluctuations in conventional gas prices.

Better Use of Resources

• Bundled Transactions - Consider it as carpooling for transactions; NERO arranges them to save unwarranted expenses.
• Like an express lane on a freeway, urgent transactions are handled faster in priority lanes.
• Effective resource allocation helps developers better estimate the processing power a software requires, therefore lessening surprises.

With Blockspace 2.0, NERO Chain is creating smarter, more sustainable, and better for everyone rather than only lowering costs.
