Abstract Infrastructure

In the previous sections, we covered different high-level aspects of the Abstract framework. In the following sections, we will outline the different contracts of the Abstract infrastructure in more detail.

On-Chain Contracts

• Account Factory: Allows for the creation of Abstract Accounts and Interchain Abstract Accounts.

• Module Factory: Facilitates installing Abstract Modules on an Account.

• Abstract Name Service (ANS): A name service that enables chain-agnostic action execution by storing commonly retrieved data such as assets, contracts, and IBC channels.

• Version Control: A registry for modules and accounts. It exposes namespace claiming, module registrations, and detailed querying of modules by namespace, name, and version.

Features

Through the interplay of the components above, Abstract offers a number of features that make it a powerful framework for sustainable application development.

• Monetization: Developers have the ability to monetize their modules by setting installation fee or usage fees for their modules. By providing direct monetization strategies we aim to reduce funding intermediaries and improved the sustainability of small team/solo developer projects.

• Account Value Oracle: An integrated way to easily get the value of your Account’s assets on-chain.
