A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

I have a question because “ethereum account abstraction” seems to be a hot topic. My question is - if the fundamental feature of decentralisation is end user control as principal with no agent or intermediary, and the user id is a 2^256 integer that the user must control - what is there to abstract??? An int???

An ethereum account is an abstraction itself. So it’s turtles all the way down to the fundamental key pair, and the requirement for a user keeping the skey themselves or give up their agency because they can’t be responsible for it. It seems like a trade off, so is the ETH community saying it’s trade off time???

the coolest thing i've seen here yet is the proposal to use passkeys as signers on AA contracts. you can limit the privileges of the passkeys, or require multiple sign certain types of txs. passkeys are generated on device on anything with a modern browser. apple advanced protection & recovery contacts solve recovery..

solidity & product. i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com

for the vast majority, who cannot be expected to bury metal wallets etc. the icloud keychain backup of the passkeys will be e2e. the biggest problems are apple binaries could rug the entire thing with a single update, and also secp256r1 may have been compromised by the nsa
