ERC-7579
Minimal modular smart accounts
Proposes shared interfaces for modular accounts and their validation, execution and other modules.
THE QUESTION IT ADDRESSES
How can permission and execution modules work across compatible smart accounts?
A concise reading of published information. The explanatory grouping below is editorial, not an implementation test.
A simplified mechanism
- Implement the account and module interfaces required by the proposal.
- Configure compatible modules and their installation and execution behavior.
What it does not establish
ERC-7579 remains a Draft. Interface compatibility does not establish module safety, a spending limit or universal support.
Where it fits
Account infrastructure used alongside standards such as ERC-4337; it is not a merchant payment protocol.
