Visa suggests using Ethereum to automate payments

The credit juggernaut Visa has proposed a plan that would enable Ethereum users process transactions without the need of a middleman. They have access to use their own purses for self-custodial transactions.　　These payments using Visa will probably be done using Account Abstraction, a capability of Ethereum that is currently being reviewed, for direct deposits. Customers will be able to pay regular bills, which Ethereum does not now permit at the most fundamental level.　　How will the integration with Ethereum function？　　Visa emphasized that by using profile abstractions, it was capable of combining the functionalities of user profiles and blockchain based into a single product of Ethereum accounts. The company alluded to the resultant entity as a “delegable account.”　　　　A retailer can create a smart agreement for automatic payments using this technique. When a customer with a delegable profile authorizes permission, the retailer can start a transaction by using the charging feature of the automatic payment agreement.

Visa proposes Ethereum auto-payment scheme

Visa has proposed a blockchain account architecture that would enable Ethereum users to set up auto-payments from their own wallet.　　The payments giant described its approach in a blog post on Monday, Dec. 19. That post summarized an earlier research paper that was published in August.　　To accomplish automatic payments, Visa suggests leveraging Account Abstraction, an Ethereum feature that is presently being considered by core developers.　　According to the corporation, this allows consumers to set up recurring bill payments. At the most basic level, Ethereum does not permit this since automated smart contracts cannot request transactions. User accounts must instead start and send transactions manually.　　Although bank accounts and custodial crypto wallets can be easily utilized to set up auto-payments, Visa warned that this form of payment is “not as straightforward to execute on a blockchain.” As a result, implementing the feature in a self-custodied wallet — one where the user has entire authority over their cash — is difficult.　　The company revealed that it studied a possible solution as part of its internal Crypto Hackathon challenge this year.　　Visa claimed that it was able to merge the functionality of user accounts and smart contracts into a single type of Ethereum account by employing account abstraction.
