ZeroDev

ZeroDev is a New York-based B2B blockchain infrastructure company that provides account abstraction wallets as a service. Founded in 2022 by Derek Chiang and backed by Y Combinator (W23), ZeroDev built Kernel — the first modular, extensible smart contract account — enabling developers to ship wallets with social login, gasless transactions, session keys, and transaction batching without seed phrases. By the time of its acquisition by Offchain Labs (Arbitrum's creator) in August 2025, ZeroDev powered 5+ million smart accounts across 130+ EVM-compatible chains for 100+ applications including Gemini, Crossmint, and DIMO.
