# What is Aggregator?

When there are multiple messages each signed with distinct keys, an Aggregator has the capability to create a unified, verified signature. This consolidated signature indicates the validity of all individual signatures within the group.

Aggregators facilitate efficiency by merging several signatures into one. This process aids in conserving data availability, allowing multiple UserOperations to be authenticated simultaneously in a streamlined manner.

For certain accounts that are compatible with specific types of signatures amenable to aggregation (such as BLS signatures), the responsibility for verifying the account's signature is transferred to an external contract. This contract then only needs to verify a single, collective signature for an entire bundle of operations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://timelessx.gitbook.io/timeless-x/smart-wallet/account-abstraction-101/what-is-aggregator.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
