Up to 2 teams will receive $5,000
A paymaster in zkSync is a contract invoked during the transaction flow that agrees to pay the gas fees of a particular transaction on behalf of the user. Thanks to native account abstraction on zkSync, paymasters can be used by EOAs (like Metamask) and Smart Contract accounts. This bounty could involve creating a novel implementation of a paymaster contract within an application flow.
