# About IKEY

IKEY is a multi-chain wallet based on ChainAbstraction technology.

With IKEY, users only need to hold a BTC, EVM, or Near wallet to create and manage wallets on other blockchains. Unlike the **BIP44** protocol, the user's BTC, EVM, or Near wallet genuinely holds ownership of these wallets, without generating new private keys. 

You can think of IKEY as an enhanced version of an **EIP-4337** wallet, allowing users to control wallets on other blockchains through a single wallet on one chain. This also includes securely transferring ownership of these controlled wallets to others.

### Core Features

**Account Exchange:** Users can securely transfer their subaccounts to anyone. The buyer doesn't need to worry about private key leaks, as the seller does not possess the private keys for the subaccount.

**Enhanced EIP-4337:** All the features of EIP-4337 but offers more. Since it is based on ChainAbstraction, the subaccounts it holds are EOA (Externally Owned Accounts) rather than smart contract accounts, which reduces gas fees. Additionally, it also supports non-SmartContract chains like BTC.

**KEY ID**: Compatible with and supportive of all current blockchains and private key formats, IKEY eliminates the need to create different wallets for different chains. With just one IKEY, users have their digital identity.
