Yoav talking about AA at EthSingapore.

Really important discussion on why AA is NOT "just meta-transactions", and why the extra steps that ERC-4337 takes compared to more naive approaches are necessary if you care about decentralization.

People who think AA is "just meta-transactions" are really underestimating the amount of deep thought that went into ERC-4337.

To be fair, I think this depends on your priorities. I came at AA first and firemost from a "make multisig and social recovery and BLS wallets more viable" perspective, others focused more on paymasters.

Paymasters for EOAs I feel like would give us 80% of the power.

All of the bullet points on the slides could be describing a 4337 relayer. What am I missing?

Looks great! Curious if there are any smart wallets you think do a great job of onboarding existing crypto users into AA

Absolutely concur, Yoav. While meta-transactions simplify user experience, the nuances of ERC-4337 ensure decentralized integrity. It's a trade-off between user-friendliness and foundational principles. Kudos for delving deep into this at #EthSingapore! @vitalik.eth #DecentralizationFirst

sometimes specific application of the layering concept is better than the widespread approach
