EIP-4337 gave some guidelines and visibility for Account Abstraction, but this is only the start. To fully unfold the power of smart contract based accounts it requires careful considerations and good standards. In this talk we want to give an overview on the current state of modular smart contract accounts and how to fully take advantage of the flexibility that comes with them.
Standards allow developers to group behind a common cause and push initiatives forward in a coordinated manner. For Smart Contract based accounts there are very few such standard in use up to this point, notably only ERC-1271 and ERC-4337. There are quite some initiatives around this topic by different teams which are worth taking a look at. In this session we will give an overview of the current state in this area and also outline how the Safe project is designing a protocol for this.
The following topics will be covered in this presentation:
- Recap of current state of Account Abstraction: ERC-1271 and ERC-4337
- The importance of standards for Account Abstraction
- Unleash the power of Account Abstraction: Safe Protocol and ERC-6900
