When asked, “What can account abstraction (ERC-4337) solve?”
I usually answer like this: The Pectra upgrade in May 2025 introduced EIP-7702, which allows existing externally owned accounts to delegate code execution to a contract. Account abstraction changes the rules for “how an account can be used” from being hardcoded into the protocol to being determined by contracts. Signature and payment methods can be designed as needed.

If you know someone who’s new to this, you can send this to them to take a look.
