"Trust but verify" isn't real if wallets don't actually verify.

Walletbeat now rates wallets based on whether they verify L1 chain state by running a light client like Helios (cc @ncitron.eth).

Raising the bar.

Censorship resistance requires privacy.

"What about L2 state?"

Great question. The only L2 stack that is practically verifiable today is OP chains with Helios. Walletbeat will eventually require this once such technology becomes ubiquitious; starting with L1 state verification as the bare minimum.

@ethos is the only wallet that does L1 verification today.

Recasting: 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: What is "Ethereum alignment" for wallets?

My take: It is a set of attributes around:
Security, privacy, self-sovereignty, user experience, and transparency.

Breakdown as a thread. 🧵

Yep, those are all tracked or going to be tracked.

love this direction. pretty cool there is a section on privacy too. 

another vector to track: is it functional talking to custom RPC nodes, or is it a dependent on third party APIs?
