If you're launching a wallet, should it be an EOA or Smart Wallet (4337)? EOAs become upgradeable with 7702 later this year, so you get the benefits of 4337 wallets and can upgrade to better standards over time. So it comes down to: upgradeable smart wallets (EOA + 7702 + 4337*) or pure smart wallets (4337 only) ?

This is something I'm struggling with as well, to create a /walletbeat criteria around this. Clearly either solution is better than an EOA-only wallet, and most Ethereum wallets today are still EOA-only. So the next logical step is to treat both standard as a step forward over the status quo. But not clear what the next step beyond that should be. What is also unambiguous is that 4337 wallets need further standardization between themselves, so that 4337-only wallets can interoperate for key rotation etc. Perhaps standards will naturally develop as wallets settle into the no-longer-EOA-only world. cc @samwilsn

4337 only standardizes the separation of validation and execution, and sets some rules for validation to enable censorship resistance. It deliberately avoids standardizing execution. For that we need other standards on top of it. These standards should be set by wallet devs, dapps, interop protocols, etc. One criteria to consider for non-burner wallets that serve the user for years, is future quantum safety. EOA+7702 is inherently quantum-unsafe. Only native AA wallets can meet this criteria.
