I wrote some reflections on Ethereum governance following the 3074/7702 saga: https://twitter.com/decentrek/status/1790392200121225577 My thesis is that 3074 is an instance where the explicit governance power of core devs clashed with the informal governance power of researchers, and I explain the dynamics.

There's some momentum for removing 3074 from Pectra. I want to explain why the 4337 authors are pushing back on 3074, and why it would be a mistake to remove 3074 (without replacing it with something similar): https://twitter.com/decentrek/status/1787700637914021892

My take on 3074: https://twitter.com/decentrek/status/1784919543036719251 TLDR: 3074 is awesome, but because it’s so flexible, there’s a lot of potential for misuse. In this blog/thread, I highlighted two big pitfalls to avoid: - permission mempools - popular wallets gate-keeping account innovations

Two modular account standards (6900 and 7579) were announced this week. We personally like 7579 a lot more (helps that our CTO co-authored it 🤣) and we decided to explain why: https://twitter.com/zerodev_app/status/1760704227108868406

Here's an awesome passkeys update! - "Progressive passkeys" that are forward-compatible with RIP-7212, so you can deploy passkey accounts today, and reap the benefits of RIP-7212 later. - "Passkey-enabled session keys" for sending cheap UserOps Check it out: https://twitter.com/zerodev_app/status/1760320118268231817

RIP-7212 compatible session keys to reduce the gas fees. Excellent. https://twitter.com/zerodev_app/status/1760320118268231817

Another cool launch today! Now you can turn Kernel accounts into multisigs (like Safe), or set up accounts with "guardians" which can execute arbitrary Solidity functions. Very useful if you want to perform actions for users (limit orders, recovery, etc.) https://twitter.com/zerodev_app/status/1755636132891816031

Just released ZeroDev v5 -- the first AA SDK optimized for modular smart accounts and plugins! This is a huge step towards the wider adoption of modular smart accounts (ERC-7579). Also, it's now possible to use ZeroDev with arbitrary AA infra Check it out! https://twitter.com/zerodev_app/status/1750208291991642328

Going to share more ZeroDev updates on FC going forward! Today we are releasing *recovery flow* -- UI components for developers to easily add account recovery to their DApps. See the tweet for code and demo: https://twitter.com/zerodev_app/status/1747313992756765078

One of my favorite things about hosting web3galaxybrain.com is when I listen back to an episode and think: dang, this person is just great. Gives me hope to meet good humans. Most recent ep with @derekchiang is one of those.

If you want to build AA wallets for sure check out ZeroDev. We are the largest AA wallet provider on Ethereum/Polygon/Arbitrum/Optimism/Base: https://twitter.com/0xKofi/status/1686618729247834112 DM me if you are interested in a chat! Even if you don't use ZeroDev I can likely offer some helpful perspectives

It's not as hard as building an Ethereum client but it does have its own challenges, like validating against banned opcodes and communicating over a new P2P protocol. That said, AA is very much on-chain already for sure; lots of people building on us 🔥

This is crazy cool -- we are in the process of making ZeroDev (https://zerodev.app/) work with any ERC-4337 account implementations (instead of just our own), so I hope to see people use zkShield with us someday 🔥
