Smart Wallets Could Change How People Use Crypto

Crypto wallets have traditionally required users to manage private keys, seed phrases and network fees themselves. Smart wallets are taking a different approach by using programmable accounts that can support features such as transaction batching, spending limits, recovery mechanisms and paying fees in different ways. This could make blockchain applications feel less complicated for everyday users while still keeping assets under user control. The bigger question is whether people actually want to understand how their wallet works, or whether they simply want a crypto account that behaves more like the financial apps they already use. Could smart wallets finally make self-custody practical for mainstream users?
