Yes, you can easily use account abstraction with in-app wallets to enable sponsored (gasless) transactions. Learn more in our sponsor gas guide.
Thirdweb wallets can be used as a signer to a smart contract account (account abstraction), but it can also be used as a standalone EOA.
For a full list of supported authenticated options, we recommending searching the playground. Wallets also supports custom authentication if you want to integrate thirdweb into your own auth system.
Currently, users will rely on the built-in recovery of their auth method. Refer to the How to recover your Google Account or Gmail article as an example for social and email auths.
Users can also link their account to a different auth method (e.g. email, phone, or social). All linked methods will be able to be used to access their accounts, providing an alternate recovery method in the case where one is lost.
No, since our SDK provides the wallet signer, you can build a unified experience with the same code to handle how all your users' wallets interact with signatures and smart contracts.
However, you will need to provide a separate flow to create in-app wallets as you would with any wallet provider (WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet, etc.).

Learn how to export the private key for a thirdweb wallet using the Connect modal.
Programmatic Exports
It's not possible to export a user's private key programmatically. Our system is designed to be non-custodial and only users can access their full keys.

Advanced Configuration
As an advanced option, to hide the export private key option from the modal, set the hidePrivateKeyOption to true when initializing the typescript or react SDK.
In the event that thirdweb ceases to exist, we have committed to keeping our user service running for a period of at least 12 months after the shutdown announcement. During this time users will be able to access their wallet and transfer their assets out, or export their private key which they can then import into a different client.
