Based on the company&rsquo;s crypto thought leadership proposal, while automated recurring payments are prevalent on regular mobile banking apps, they are more difficult to implement on the blockchain. An excerpt from the blog reads:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&ldquo;We see auto payments as a core functionality that existing blockchain infrastructure lacks.&rdquo;<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cognizant of this, the Visa team probed into the use of smart contracts in providing automatic and programmable payments using a unique idea dubbed Account Abstraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Visa To Use Account Abstraction For Automatic Payments Implementation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Account Abstraction is an Ethereum feature that developers are currently considering, and most notably, Ethereum does not allow the functionality at a basic level because automated smart contractions are unable to request transactions. Instead, user accounts must initiate and send transactions manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visa says that the feature will allow users to establish recurring bill payments, noting that while bank accounts and custodial cryptocurrency wallets can easily serve to arrange auto-payments, this type of payment is &ldquo;not as straightforward to execute on a blockchain.&rdquo; This means that it will be a challenge to implement the feature in a self-custodied wallet, particularly one where the user has total control over their funds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Visa&rsquo;s Delegable Account on StarkNet<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the blog, Visa says that it has explored a possible solution as part of its 2022 Crypto Hackathon challenge, and to this effect, revealed that it was able to merge the functions of user accounts and smart contracts into a singular type of Ethereum account by using account abstraction. With this success story, Visa called the resultant account a &lsquo;delegable account&rsquo;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The methodology makes it possible for a merchant to send an automated payment smart contract. Once a user with a delegable account grants permission, a merchant can initiate a payment by calling the charge function of the automatic payments contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The user&rsquo;s delegable account will also add the auto-payment contract to a whitelist for future reference when they need to make another payment to the same account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Given that Ethereum has not yet implemented the Account Abstraction functionality with exists as part of several proposals like the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/vitalik-buterin-makes-a-list-for-use-cases-that-excites-him-on-ethereum-ecosystem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EIP-4337<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Visa felt limited. The payments giant, however, found a way around these limitations, and as explained in the blog, implemented delegable accounts on StarkNet- an Ethereum layer-2 network with the capability to extend the base blockchain&rsquo;s functionality to support the feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In as much as Visa seems to have developed a working auto-payments solution, there is no communication of whether the company will be offering the feature to its customer base. Moreover, the chances of the feature being implemented within Visa&rsquo;s expansive cryptocurrency payment cards are low, as these cards are often linked to custodial exchanges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nevertheless, the feature may come into action in Visa&rsquo;s merchant and bank-oriented settlement services that may require interaction with non-custodial Ethereum wallets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Visa Says StarkNet May Help Self-Custodial Wallets Pay Bills More Easily<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Visa, StarkNet will potentially help bridge the gap separating crypto and the real world by enabling self-custodial wallet users to make payments on their bills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is not the first time Visa is using StarkNet. In the construction of its proof of concept with the crypto wallet Argent, Visa employed the StarkNet scaling platform, a choice also inspired by the fact that the feature is currently not active on Ethereum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the current discussion of the auto&ndash;payments from self-custodied wallets functionality, Visa describes a method where users can leverage the self-custodial wallet to automatically transfer payments without the need to sign each transaction individually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, in an attempt to enhance payments privacy and security prior to unleashing the functionality to the public, Visa has focused on crypto infrastructure and protocols for payments, declaring that it is &ldquo;willing to discuss their ideas with businesses researching programmable payments.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related News:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/as-it-tries-to-boost-confidence-filings-reveal-that-binances-books-are-a-black-box\"><b>As it tries to boost confidence, filings reveal that Binance&rsquo;s books are a black box<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/heres-why-crypto-prices-might-crash-10-this-week-2\"><b>Here&rsquo;s Why Crypto Prices Might Crash 10% This Week<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/buy-cryptocurrency\"><b>How To Buy Cryptocurrencies<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderSingle inContentColor--insidebitcoins fc-row\">\n                        <div class=\"inContentProviderSingle--wrapper\">\n                            <div class=\"container\">\n                                <div class=\"row mb-lg-3\">\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n                                        <p class=\"inContentProviderSingle--title\">Most Searched Crypto Launch - Pepe Unchained<\/p>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n                                        <div class=\"inContentProviderSingle--rating\">\n                                            <div class=\"rating--holder\">\n                                                <p class=\"rating--text\">Rating<\/p>\n                                                <div class=\"rating--star-container\">\n                                                    <div class=\"rating--star\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div><!--\/.col-md-4-->\n                                <\/div><!--\/.row-->\n                                <div class=\"row\">\n                                    <!-- *******  Desktop Provider Logo ********** -->\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-12 text-center d-block d-sm-block d-md-none d-lg-none\">\n                                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inContentProviderSingle--img mb-3\" src=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pepu.svg\" alt=\"Pepe Unchained\" width=\"125\" height=\"60\">\n                                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n                                                                                    <ul class=\"inContentProviderSingle--list\">\n                                                                                                    <li>Layer 2 Meme Coin Ecosystem<\/li>\n                                                                                                    <li>Featured in Cointelegraph<\/li>\n                                                                                                    <li>SolidProof &amp;
