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

EIP to validate passkeys on-chain with a precompile: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7212#motivation

This would be huge for AA wallets. 

I'm curious if anyone has a pulse on how likely this is to pass, seems like there's usually a lot of contention around adding precompiles.

But what are Passkeys good for in crypto? You can‘t see the payload of what the app is proposing to sign. I‘m not trusting websites, I‘ve been trusting wallets. Is this flipped now?

I see this argument pop up a bunch. I don't think it really makes sense.

Most wallets rn will ask you to FaceID before signing, this is like saying the FaceID UI doesn't show you any payload.

It is the wallets responsibility to show the users the payload before the passkey.

yea I think they (or some extensions to the webauthn spec/ a new passkey-like spec for signatures) will be the future that removes the need for seed phrases!

It should be noted that the spec doesn't specify a specific curve for passkey ... p256 is just the one that apple, google etc have adopted first

makes sense. So passkeys is mainly an API for wallets then
