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

Wrapping my head around account abstraction and I have a question. If account abstraction was compared to oauth, would Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook etc, all be alternative “alt-mempool” networks that users could choose from?

Thanks. Moving that slide to one side, do alt-mempools have to manage keys to sign the transactions that perform the functions?

I could be wrong but my understanding is that it effectively uses similar to MEV mechanisms to incentivize execution (anyone can execute an op in the mempool, additional fees can help manifest executions). It doesn't need to be allowlisted to specific executors.

I don't believe alt mempools need to be private/centralized? They're just a different kind of mempool that contain this specific special type of transactions.

Thanks for this insight. MEV is in the main mempool though, right (I could be wrong). Alt-mempools as far as I can tell, are not available on all eth nodes, they are run by interested groups (not a judgment).
