Abstract Global Wallet (AGW) is a named wallet. This is a tech page, not an operator page and not a casino. Ship it next to Immutable Passport so the two constructions do not blend.

What it is

Abstract’s cross-application smart contract wallet, powered by native account abstraction. Login is email, social, passkey, or an existing wallet. The account users transact from is the smart contract wallet, not a raw EOA.

Key management, from first-party docs: an EOA is created under the hood via Privy Embedded Wallets. The private key is split into three shards with Shamir’s Secret Sharing. 2 of 3 reconstructs the key.

  1. Device share — on the user’s device (browser: local storage of the Privy iframe).
  2. Auth share — encrypted on Privy’s servers; retrieved on the original login method.
  3. Recovery share — user-chosen backup (typically Google Drive or iCloud).

Typical reconstruct: Device + Auth. Device + Recovery if Privy or login is gone. Auth + Recovery to mint a new device share.

That EOA is then an approved signer on the deployed smart contract wallet (modified Clave fork, secp256k1 signer for Privy, plus passkey/P256 modules, paymasters, session keys).

Social login is the door, not the absence of a key. Do not blend with Passport. Passport is a 2-of-2 co-signer (user key + Immutable guardian). AGW is Shamir-sharded (Privy).

What it does not prove

A wallet is not a licence, not a fairness transcript, and not “the frontend can die and the game remains.” AGW does not make Abstract titles fully onchain. It does not prove a roll. It does not make Igloo a gambling operator.
