Honestly we should stop using terms like "transactions", "user operations" or "messages" when talking about Wallets

Just call it "actions"... for every Wallet approval 😎

tech vs. absurd – you're not real – /sauce – /cto - /addresso

That's a good point... I think that we will eventually move away from Wallets to something more akin to Profiles

Wallets make transactions
Profiles take actions

Less focus on the finance part and more focus on Identity!

Would that not imply a complete change of the vocabulary? Stemming from "wallet", "transactions" seem to follow the same skeuomorphism.

My theory is that this entire metaphor has run its course. Most wallets are now more akin to Robinhood than something friendly, familiar and subjective.

yah, operations are better, and that's what typically used in conventional financial consumer products

I agree with @tudorizer here. In addition to calling them actions, i’d go a step further and stop pushing “wallet” as a mental model altogether. People know what a browser is, and they are accustomed to approving/rejecting actions and granting/revoking permissions with one. Let’s call them browsers with built-in keychains — or something along those lines. Calling them wallets almost strikes me as  expressive aphasia 🫠
