## Description

Chain abstraction (CA) and account abstraction (AA) have been two of the hottest topics in Web3, but few people know how to use them together.

In this talk, I will explain how developers can build amazing Web3 experiences by combining AA with CA in the form of "chain-abstracted smart accounts" -- smart accounts that can spend their balances on any chain without bridging.
