Making Crypto Usable: XION, Particle Network, Infinex & Abstract

If we want mass adoption, we obviously need to abstract crypto complexities. Seed phrases & private keys, cross-chain bridges, gas fees, managing wallets on different chains — none of that is user-friendly. And while many projects are trying to improve UX, only a few are going all-in on that.

XION, Particle Network, Infinex, and Abstract are all focused on the same mission: making Web-3 feel like a Web-2. Here’s what each of them brings to the table.

XION – Crypto, Without the Crypto

XION is a Layer 1 blockchain built to make crypto disappear from the UX through Chain Abstraction. Everything complicated — gas, seed phrases, signing transactions — is handled at the protocol level.

Key features:

• No seed phrases: accounts can be created with email, social logins, or biometrics.
• Meta-accounts: log in through email, Google or wallet, cross-device availability.
• No gas fees for users — apps can sponsor transactions.
• One-click actions — users give permission once and dApps can act on their behalf.
• Programmable UX: devs can customize flows for gaming, social, commerce, etc.

XION isn’t just a better UX layer — it’s a chain that was built from scratch to make blockchain feel invisible.

Particle Network – One Account, One Balance, Any Chain

Particle Network tackles fragmentation across chains by offering Universal Accounts — one login, one balance, no matter where you are.

Key features:

• One account across all supported chains (80+ and counting).
• Universal liquidity: balances don’t need to be bridged manually.
• Gasless UX: pay gas in any token, on any chain.
• Chain-agnostic SDK for developers — build on any chain, tap into the whole ecosystem.
• Backed by its own L1 that coordinates accounts, transactions, and validation across chains.

It’s the kind of infrastructure that makes the multi-chain world actually usable — for both users and devs.

Infinex – A Crypto App Built for Humans

Infinex feels like a normal app. You make an account with a password, and you’re in. No seed phrase, no wallet setup, no gas.

Key features:

• Simple login: just a username and password.
• Passkey & biometric security for login and actions.
• Smart wallet + vault — one for daily use, one for extra-secure storage.
• Cross-chain support for 12+ EVM and Solana networks.
• Swap and bridge assets directly in-app, no manual bridging or gas.
• Earn, play, trade — with more features coming like perps, airdrops, campaigns.

It’s what you’d expect if Binance or Coinbase went fully onchain — clean, intuitive, and non-custodial.

Abstract – Consumer-First Layer 2

Abstract is an Ethereum L2 that was designed from the start to onboard real users — not just crypto-natives.

Key features:

• Smart contract wallets for everyone by default.
• Email/social login with fallback recovery methods (like Google Drive).
• Gas sponsorship and fee flexibility baked in.
• App discovery layer to help users find what’s built on Abstract.
• Fast, cheap transactions using zk tech and Eigen DA.
• EVM-compatible, so existing dApps can deploy with minimal changes.
• Culture-focused: backed by Pudgy Penguins and designed for apps that care about community and UX.

It’s building an ecosystem where apps feel cohesive, onboarding is simple, and you don’t have to think about what chain you’re on.

Final Thoughts

Good UX isn’t about flashy frontends — it’s about removing friction. And these four projects are doing just that.

• XION hides crypto entirely.
• Particle Network lets you forget chains even exist.
• Infinex feels like using any other app — except it’s onchain.
• Abstract bakes user experience into the protocol itself.

If you’re building in crypto, these are the stacks that’ll actually get you real users.
