We have a comprehensive guide for Account Abstraction written by our researcher if you would like to learn more about it.
Passkeys are built on the WebAuthentication (or “WebAuthn”) standard, which uses public key cryptography. During account registration, the operating system creates a unique cryptographic key pair to associate with an account for the app or website. These keys are generated by the device securely and uniquely for every account.
Our contracts have been audited by sector pioneers and you can find the report here. Our codes are also open source. You can always check them yourself.
Clave utilizes Account Abstraction and passkeys; thus, you don’t need to remember seed phrases. Your seed phrase is encrypted in the secure enclave of your device. Clave takes advantage of Passkeys to interact with the secure enclave to sign transactions. This allows users to engage with contracts smoothly.
There are two ways to recover your account. If you have multiple devices and your passkeys are synced with those devices, then you can access your Clave account on a new phone when you log in to your Apple or Google accounts.Another way to recover is via social recovery and you can always assign your friends, family members, and other wallets you use. When you lose your phone, they can assist in recovering your account. For details, check here.

If the token you have sent is not one of the default tokens on Clave, you can manually add a custom token to your portfolio page. Go to My Portfolio, click Add Token and Add Manually, then enter the token’s contract address. Now you can see it on your balance. For more detailed information, you can check our guides here.
