Ethereum Account Abstraction

Passkeys enable super fast, easy wallet creation but is that really the holy grail? A wallet should serve as a secure, reliable, and accessible identity.

It's led me to think more about something I'm calling "account durability"

@accountless.eth would love your thoughts

could interaction cost be reduced to simply just “time”?

brittle and durable. is this security? what is user goal in choosing or doing brittle / durable? that may trigger another way to see this spectrum. even burnable addresses to super cold vault may apply here. 

then u have time / security = ux tradeoffs

[1/2] Time is a proxy but IMO slightly different bc interaction cost also considers cognitive load. e.g. username + password manager is very quick when it works, but can involve more moving parts than pure passkey

yes makes sense. i wound challenge u and say cognitive load is load bc it takes time to process.  same way too much UI on a screen does for UX. 

i am super abstract and first principles tho. a strength and weakness my paradigm likely breaks down at different levels.

that's fair! tbh I was trying to avoid the word friction since it has such a negative connotation & not all friction is bad.

is that triangle graphic a "you can only pick two" scenario, or your top 3 principles for any account model?
