Therefore, you can have multiple devices and applications controlling your account, each of them with different permissions. You can even have social recovery, such that you grant certain permissions to your account to your friends and family -- you can build your identity by attaching info to your UP account such as your name, a profile picture, description, etc., offering a web2 like-experience -- senders and receivers are notified of transfers (e.g.: tokens transfers), and you can see which assets you own within your profile. You can even block transfers of certain assets -- updatable and flexible metadata: metadata can be updated, enabling dynamic NFTs that can change certain properties over time, while other properties remain immutable -- you can extend your account over time seamlessly, with no need to redeploy the associated smart contract -- gassless experience: want to do a token transfer but you don't have LYX? No worries. UPs support relay services that cover the gas for users's transactions. Currently, there is a relay service that subsidizes users' transactions maintained by the LUKSO team. In the future, various relay services will be offered by multiple third parties, evolving into a competitive relay ecosystem with various business models. +- [upgradeable security](/standards/universal-profile/lsp6-key-manager): UPs can be owned by an EOA or a custom contract such as a multisig.
