New post: a history of account abstraction in Ethereum, from EIP-86 to Frame Transactions. The trade-offs, how the thinking evolved, and why we're still talking about it.
What's the best way to find in O(1) time which hardfork added some EIP? These are the options I know of:
- Google and hope for the best
- Go to the Timeline of all ethereum forks (ethereum.org/ethereum-forks) and start expanding boxes until you find the EIP you want.
- If the EIP is
The "You Could Have Invented Account Abstraction" series on Alchemy's blog (by one David Philipson, whose handle I can't find) is by far the best ERC-4337 explainer I've seen, but it looks completely broken today because code snippets are not rendered. I guess they moved to some
I'm working on a series on the history of account abstraction. Here's a *simplified* timeline of the key events from the launch of Ethereum until today. This will be fun.
This is a great write-up, but it also reminds me of something that bugs me about the EIP-8141 spec: the motivation section starts by talking about post-quantum, and then it never mentions it again.
