lightclients

Do you hate trusting centralized RPC providers?

Do you wish you could have nearly the security of a full node right from your phone?

Then /lightclients is the place for you.

Was signing into a system with ETH wallet when I had a realization on security issues for SIWE in offchain systems.

With smart contract wallets, login becomes a eth_call for 1271 sigs.

It’s easy for me to run a forked node locally, and change the signer of a contract wallet to mine.

If I’m alchemy, I can target the api key some backend uses, and swap out the node for mine. So now I can authenticate as another user.

@ncitron.eth is right, we need /lightclients rpc nodes

Really interesting perspective. I’ll be thinking about this for a while.
