# EOA

> Choose a plain EOA when you need intents without smart account features.

Choose a plain externally owned account (EOA) when you want to keep an existing address and use Rhinestone transactions without deploying or configuring a smart account.

## Choose an EOA when

* The signer already holds assets at its EOA address.
* Keeping that address matters more than adding account modules.
* You want the smallest account setup surface.

A plain EOA does not support ERC-7579 modules, session keys, multisig, account deployment, or ERC-4337 user operations.

## Choose another account type when

* Choose [EIP-7702](/wallets/custom-signer/account-setup/account-types-and-providers/eip-7702) to keep a controllable EOA address while adding supported smart account capabilities.
* Choose a [smart account provider](/wallets/custom-signer/account-setup/account-types-and-providers/smart-account-providers) for a new modular account with a separate address.
