What is Abstract?

Abstract is a zero-knowledge rollup Layer 2 blockchain built on zkSync's ZK Stack technology, designed specifically for consumer crypto applications and onchain culture. Created by the team behind Pudgy Penguins, Abstract focuses on bringing mainstream users to Web3 through intuitive user experiences and consumer-focused applications.

Abstract combines the security of Ethereum with lower costs and faster transaction speeds, while offering native account abstraction through the Abstract Global Wallet (AGW). This enables users to interact with applications using familiar login methods like email and social accounts rather than traditional seed phrases.

Interacting with Abstract

Abstract nodes expose a JSON-RPC interface that provides full compatibility with Ethereum's API while adding L2-specific functionality.

With this API, you can:

• Execute all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods (eth_call, eth_sendTransaction, eth_getBalance)
• Debug utilities for deeper blockchain analysis and transaction inspection
• zkSync compatible API methods for zero-knowledge rollups

You can access the API by:

• Running a local Abstract client
• Using a hosted provider such as a QuickNode Abstract endpoint, which delivers low-latency global access, archive data, and enhanced reliability out of the box.
