Safe{Wallet} frontend infrastructure was compromised.

🥁 We need to reduce our dependence on centralized frontends!

We need more independent frontends implementations or, better yet, generative frontends. At least one signer should use a different frontend.

As promised, here are the preliminary reports of the hack conducted by @sygnia_labs and @Verichains 
Screenshotted the conclusion and here is the link to the full report: https://t.co/3hcqkXLN5U https://t.co/tlZK2B3jIW

I built WhatsABI specifically for this thesis: In the future, most transactions will be made from generative interfaces (maybe directly by the wallet). The goal is to make this future easier to build and accelerate it.

callthis.link is an example of a generative transaction builder. Can you do better? I'll help!

If we have smart wallets that require multiple signers (think of it like MFA), then each signer can be a different implementation, some can be generative.

It's similar to client diversity for ethereum nodes. A single compromised node should not take down the whole network. It doesn't help us if everyone runs geth.

I love this vision. 
But then it would really take a lot of work to get this to be the norm while maintaining better security than the status quo.

Reliance on wallet vendors or other parties for generative interfaces might still be attcked just like Safe{wallet} infra. (IMO) 🤔

How different is Rabby, Rainbow, Trust, or Coinbase wallet from Safe actually?

The only difference I see is that it's a lot easier to map perspective hack targets, to associated infrastructure to compromise, is the case of Safes particularly. 

EOAs are kinda pseudonyms with respect to the underlying wallet infra.
