What's funny is that Vitalik wrote EIP-7702 in 22 minutes... 90 minutes before the EF meeting that was supposed to debate 3074 😂

A baby and an acquisition. It's been a whirlwind of a year. I have a lot of reflections to share, but for now, I just want to say thank you to all the users, team members, partners, and investors of ZeroDev ❤️ Together we have pushed and will continue to push Web3 UX forward.

I'm usually very meh on big companies but I gotta say the @base team is really something else. Capabilities, Magic Spend, Keyspace... these are all amazing innovations on their own and the @base team is pumping them out all at the same time Can't be more bullish about AA 🫡

1/ A paradigm shift is coming to AA, but not many people know about it yet. TLDR: *SDKs are dead; long live capabilities.* If you are building with AA, you need to get ready. Read this blog to learn more: docs.zerodev.app/blog/hello-cap… Or read the thread 👇

I'm a big fan of @arbitrum's new fast withdrawal feature, but I wish the reactions to it were more nuanced than just "wow 15 mins is better than 7 days" In reality, when you turn on fast withdrawal, you are turning your rollup into a N-of-N side chain secured by the fast

1/ ERC-4337 and EIP-3074 authors are disagreeing strongly, and it might jeopardize 3074's prospect of being merged. In this blog, I explain why the disagreements stem from a difference in their *visions for Ethereum's roadmap* docs.zerodev.app/blog/4337-and-… Thread below 👇
