### Account Abstraction by ZeroDev
Denaria utilizes **ZeroDev** to create onchain wallets, enabling **account abstraction**. By integrating these features, users can seamlessly operate onchain without needing to manage traditional private keys, improving both security and accessibility.
ZeroDev provides a **secure and user-friendly authentication layer**, allowing users to sign in using familiar Web2 credentials. This ensures a smooth onboarding experience for both crypto-native and non-crypto users.

### Trade Easy With Denaria
Each user is automatically provisioned with a **smart contract wallet** through our integration with **ZeroDev**. These wallets are:
*   **Non-custodial** – fully controlled by the user.
*   **Programmable** – enabling advanced features like account recovery and sponsored gas.
Denaria smart wallets are **secured by passkeys**, allowing users to log in and sign transactions using their device’s **native biometric security,** like Face ID for Iphone users.
Thanks to account abstraction, Denaria can **sponsor gas fees**, meaning:
*   **Users don’t need ETH** to trade, deposit, or interact with the app
*   **Denaria protocol** **pays Ethereum gas fees on the user's behalf.** This eliminates one of the biggest user experience hurdles in DeFi, especially for newcomers.
### Account Recovery

# ![](https://docs.denaria.finance/img/perpetualDex/account/account_recovery.png)

Denaria introduced a first-of-its-kind onchain and permissionless **social recovery mechanism**, providing a simple way to regain wallet access if the passkey is lost.
**How it works:**
1. Users can nominate a **trusted** smart account as a Guardian (another user on the Denaria App) by email.
2. If the original user ever loses access (e.g. phone is broken), they can **initiate the recovery process, setting a new passkey**.
3. The trusted contact acts as a **guardian** and can approve the request, restoring access to the smart wallet without the need for a seed phrase.
   
This combines the security of self-custody with the ease and familiarity of modern Web2 account recovery flows. Denaria’s smart wallet experience is purpose-built to **bridge the gap between Web2 convenience and Web3 power,** paving the way for true mainstream adoption of onchain derivatives.
