So many exciting changes in this upgrade!!! I've been waiting for 7702 I hope we see robust adoption.

yes, for some definition of "soon." we intend to use 7702 and are watching it carefully. @privy is working hard on 7702. my personal hunch is that rollout across the EVM ecosystem may be messy. but we'll use it once we feel good about the implementations and they solve real problems for us. long term very bullish on smart accounts but skeptical that we've got the design right just yet.
