2026 ★ Abstract IOTA Accounts Zichichi Mirko, Reutov Valerii, Pap Levente, Botnar Pavlo Account abstraction for IOTA: smart-contract-based authentication of addresses, where Move authenticator functions decide whether a transaction sent from an abstract account is authorized. Specified in IIP-0009 and implemented in the IOTA node and Move framework, together with example accounts, such as a group account authenticated through Groth16 zero-knowledge proofs of membership in a Lean Incremental Merkle Tree. 2026.
