01 / THE PURPOSE

What is Abstract for?

Abstract provides a blockchain for consumer applications, including collectibles, games and financial interactions. Its wallet experience aims to let the same smart account work across applications with familiar sign-in methods.

02 / THE ARCHITECTURE

Three questions about the machinery.

How does it agree?

Consensus & security

A sequencer executes transactions and groups their state changes into batches. Data is submitted to Ethereum, and validity proofs are verified by Ethereum contracts before the batches complete the rollup’s settlement process.

Where do instructions run?

Execution model

Abstract uses the ZK Stack and supports Ethereum-style smart contracts. Its documentation distinguishes EVM compatibility from identical virtual-machine behavior: developers must account for deployment and execution differences.

What is the token for?

PENGU in the system

PENGU is the ranked Pudgy Penguins community token, available on Abstract and Solana. It is not Abstract’s native gas asset. Abstract’s network currency is ETH, regardless of which application token a transaction transfers.

03 / THE DESIGN CHOICES

What comes with the design?

Each architecture makes choices about security, performance, coordination, and who can participate.

Proof verification does not remove sequencer availability, bridge-contract or application-contract risk.
Wallet permissions and account recovery are additional design questions beyond the validity of a batch.

04 / IN PRACTICE

Follow one use.

Illustrative: a game records a collectible transfer on Abstract and gives a quick success response. The batch’s proof and Ethereum settlement follow separately; paying the network fee still uses ETH even if the game also uses PENGU.
