Gas Usage
Smart Wallets use more gas for transactions than traditional Ethereum accounts. On L2 networks, the cost difference to the user is a matter of cents. The gas difference is due to the additional overhead required for:
- ERC-4337 Bundling
- Smart Contract Operations, including one time deployment of the Smart Wallet contract
- Signature Verification
Gas Usage Breakdown
Here’s a rough comparison of gas usage per account:
| Operation Type | Traditional Ethereum Account | Smart Wallet |
|---|---|---|
| Native Token Transfer | ~21,000 gas | ~100,000 gas |
| ERC-20 Token Transfer | ~65,000 gas | ~150,000 gas |
| First Deployment | N/A | ~300,000+ gas |
