# Abstract > Abstract is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built for consumer crypto. It provides native account abstraction, a global smart contract wallet (AGW), and an app discovery portal designed to make onchain experiences as simple as web2 for end users and as powerful as possible for builders. ## AI Agent Resources - [SKILL.md](https://docs.abs.xyz/skill.md): Opinionated playbook for AI coding agents default stack choices, integration patterns, and step-by-step procedures for building on Abstract. - [Full Documentation](https://docs.abs.xyz/llms-full.txt): Complete inline documentation with code examples and API reference. ## Core Concepts - [What is Abstract?](https://docs.abs.xyz/what-is-abstract): A high-level overview of what Abstract is and how it works. - [Layer 2s](https://docs.abs.xyz/how-abstract-works/architecture/layer-2s): What a layer 2 is and how Abstract inherits the security properties of Ethereum as a ZK rollup. - [Transaction Lifecycle](https://docs.abs.xyz/how-abstract-works/architecture/transaction-lifecycle): How transactions are processed on Abstract and finalized on Ethereum. - [Native Account Abstraction](https://docs.abs.xyz/how-abstract-works/native-account-abstraction/overview): How native account abstraction works on Abstract every account is a smart contract. - [Abstract Global Wallet](https://docs.abs.xyz/abstract-global-wallet/overview): The smart contract wallet powering the Abstract ecosystem. ## Getting Started - [Connect to Abstract](https://docs.abs.xyz/connect-to-abstract): Add Abstract to your wallet or development environment. - [Start Building](https://docs.abs.xyz/build-on-abstract/getting-started): Learn how to start developing smart contracts and applications on Abstract. - [AGW Getting Started](https://docs.abs.xyz/abstract-global-wallet/getting-started): Integrate Abstract Global Wallet into your application. - [Example Repositories](https://github.com/Abstract-Foundation/examples): Starter templates and refer
