Plancker

What Plancker does

Plancker is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) comprising engineers, researchers, and product designers from Asia who are dedicated to building the Ethereum ecosystem in Greater China. The organization operates as a public goods entity rather than a commercial venture, funded through ecosystem grants and community contributions rather than product sales.

The organization's core technical product is SoulWallet, an ERC-4337 account abstraction wallet delivered as a browser extension that won first place at the Ethereum Foundation Account Abstraction competition at ETHGlobal Bogota in 2022. Supporting infrastructure includes Recursive (a bundler component for smart contract wallet transactions), Xhash (a research project exploring a RAI-like stablecoin using native Ethereum staking as collateral with DVT technology), and DAOstar (an EIP-4824 standard protocol for cross-DAO communications). The product portfolio is organized into three tiers: Public Layer projects (V For V_Cult for Ethereum translation/education, Greater China Community Eco, DAOstar Builder Group), Research initiatives (Recursive, Xhash, Remix China), and a Public Pool of exploratory workstreams (Guardian, Bundler, CryptoThought, Eips Fun, ETH Hackathon, 4 Seas, Eth DeSocial Network, Scaffold).

Plancker's business model is non-commercial. No products are priced or sold, and no revenue is generated. The organization distributes its work through open-source channels (GitHub), browser extension marketplaces (SoulWallet), and community-driven engagement (Discord, Telegram, Twitter, Notion, Mirror). The target beneficiary is the Ethereum developer community in Greater China, served through developer tools, educational content, hackathon facilitation, and localized infrastructure. Strategic partnerships with LXDAO, GreenPill CN, 4 Seas, and GCC Eco form a mutual ecosystem of Greater China Ethereum DAOs.

Products and services

• SoulWallet An account abstraction wallet based on the ERC-4337 contract. SoulWallet is a browser extension wallet that supports ERC-4337, providing a secure solution that plugs into a rich and diverse ecosystem without compromising user experience. Aimed at Ethereum users and developers seeking smart contract wallet functionality.
• Recursive A bundler component designed to accept, validate, and send transactions from smart contract wallets or third parties. Integral part of account abstraction infrastructure. Aimed at developers building account abstraction applications on Ethereum.
• Xhash A research project exploring a RAI-like stablecoin that uses native Ethereum staking as collateral, eliminating risks associated with introducing LSD tokens while allowing users to earn rewards from Ethereum staking. Uses DVT technology for a decentralized algorithmic stablecoin.
• DAOstar (EIP-4824 Protocol) A standard EIP-4824 protocol implementation for cross-DAO communications, making it easy to create and maintain DAOs. Plancker's DAOstar Builder Group supports the protocol's implementation and distribution especially in Asia.
• Remix China A localized version of Remix IDE aimed at helping Chinese users use Remix more effectively for Ethereum smart contract development.

Direct peers

• DAOstar: EIP-4824 standard for cross-DAO communications. Plancker's DAOstar Builder Group is the Asia implementation and distribution partner for this protocol, making it a deeply connected peer rather than a competitor in the same protocol space.
• Stackup: Account abstraction bundler and developer platform for ERC-4337. Directly comparable to Plancker's Recursive bundler and SoulWallet, competing in the same smart account infrastructure layer with a more developer-focused commercial product.
• GreenPill CN: GreenPill's China chapter is a regional DAO focused on Ethereum ecosystem development in Greater China. Directly comparable to Plancker as a partner-cum-peer organization serving the same Chinese Ethereum developer community.
• LXDAO: A Greater China-based DAO focused on Ethereum ecosystem development and public goods. Directly comparable to Plancker as both are community-driven DAOs targeting the same regional developer base and Ethereum public goods vertical.
• ZeroDev: Smart account and account abstraction infrastructure provider on Ethereum. Competes with SoulWallet and Recursive in the ERC-4337 kernel/bundler stack serving developers building AA-enabled applications.
• Pimlico: ERC-4337 infrastructure provider offering bundler, paymaster, and smart account services. Competes directly with Plancker's Recursive bundler and SoulWallet in the AA infrastructure stack.

Broad incumbents

• Gitcoin: Major Ethereum public goods funding platform via quadratic grants. Comparable to Plancker's Greater China Community Eco as a public goods funding channel, but operating at significantly greater scale across the global Ethereum ecosystem.
• Biconomy: Established multi-chain relayer and account abstraction infrastructure provider. Competes broadly with Plancker's Recursive bundler and SoulWallet while offering a wider portfolio of paymaster, gasless, and cross-chain services.
• Rabby Wallet: Browser extension wallet by DeBank with strong adoption among Chinese DeFi users. Comparable to SoulWallet as a browser extension wallet for the Ethereum ecosystem, with broader multi-chain support and a larger user base.
• Optimism Collective: Layer-2 Ethereum ecosystem with retroactive public goods funding. Comparable to Plancker as a public goods-focused ecosystem organization, but operating at a much larger scale with a token-incentivized governance model.
