I surely have some wallet Stockholm syndrome, but I find highly abstracted wallet UX  *less* friendly in many ways. Is that spinner doing something onchain in the background? Will tapping that button send a tx? What contract am I calling? What calldata am I sending? I hope your app tells me because I can't tell!

External wallets have many drawbacks, but some nice properties: you can inspect requests, cancel them, and simulate results. Your wallet is usually your friend, but the app might not be.

I mostly use Rainbow and Frame. Rabby, Phantom, Metamask all good too.

I would love to use a more transparent and useful wallet, what wallet do you use daily? A wallet that doesn't treat me like a child (or look like it's designed for children) but rather helps me understand more would be great.

Yeah wallets aren’t one-size-fits-all - for certain use cases / user bases, external wallets like rainbow are deff best. Some apps are best served by presenting both side-by-side

But if you want to cater to crypto newcomers / improve in-app UX, embedded wallets are 🎯 (and the dev chooses how much to abstract!)

unrelated, but your thumbnail game on yt is absolutely fire 🔥

I agree, but the issue here is that you are a native (I am perhaps an ex-pat) but for visitors the talk of txns and gas are like Babylonian banter. Foreign and scary. Remember when browsers used to display the calls and handshakes on the bottom frame? Eventually it became ‘loading..’ then we end up trusting the companies over ourselves and suddenly the frog is boiled etc etc

they could have a way to look for details because all the time it's slow af and you're surely wondering because in all other web2 apps it takes less than a second always

Consumer Crypto

Seeing a lot of debate on smart wallets vs EOAs on the feed recently

The magic of embedded smart wallets is your average web2 account now gets a super powerful crypto wallet without the web3 baggage attached. No seed phrases, no crypto knowledge - just full payment rails handling all the complexity around transactions that the user never even needs to be aware of if they so choose. This is a no brainer for crypto apps that want to attract new users beyond the crypto bubble and overall how consumer crypto wins this cycle.

EIP-7702 is really what crypto natives should be pumped about though - EOAs acting like smart wallets without the liquidity fragmentation. Now your main wallet gets all the smart wallet perks too (session keys, sponsored gas, batch txs) but without the hassle of dealing with dozens of wallets across various apps. Imagine a standard where by default your EOA becomes the smart wallet if you have one.

This is the frictionless UX experience crypto products need for true mainstream adoption

Casted some related thoughts on this

What's your opinion on EIP-7702? Do you think this resolves a lot of the root problems here or do you think too much abstraction will lead to undesirable outcomes?

can the game communicate how many transactions there will be?
