The Wallet and UX Stack to Build Web3 Applications for the Masses
In this talk I will give an overview of how wallet infrastructure and the relationship between wallets and dapps have evolved over the past 5 years. And give a layer-by-layer breakdown of the modern wallet stack from signers to smart account modules, how each component contributes to a UX unlock on Ethereum/L2s, and how application developers can use them today. We will also touch on pertinent ongoing EIPs such as 7702 (deploy code for EOAs), and 7715 (permissions).
Achieving Chain Abstraction through Transaction Orchestration
Achieving chain abstracted experiences will require the ability to execute multiple transactions across multiple blockchains as a single "action", ideally with a single signature used for permissioning. In this talk I'll explore the concepts of transaction orchestration and single-signature, multi-chain permissioning. I will present what are the benefits, how to create such systems and what are the drawbacks (e.g. soft atomicity, stale permissions, etc...)
Why Account Abstraction is a Game-Changer for Dapps
Native account abstraction on L2 is a breakthrough for the usability and security of crypto. It’s also the only way to scale self-custody. This talk explains what account abstraction is and why it matters for Dapps and their users. We’ll provide specific examples of features that it uniquely enables, such as session keys, fraud monitoring, multicall, social recovery and more. The end result is the unlocking of new experiences and use cases that can move the needle for crypto’s adoption.
The Chain Abstraction Master Plan
Chain abstraction is vital for Ethereum’s future competitiveness and interoperability. This talk will dive into why Ethereum apps need chain abstraction to avoid fragmentation and ensure open, trustless, and modular systems. We’ll explore approaches to abstraction, the importance of open standards, and a roadmap for upgrading the ecosystem’s core infrastructure—spanning JSON-RPC API improvements, resource locks, and intent settlement—to unlock new layers of usability and decentralization.
Who needs a wallet anyway?
This talk confronts the community’s obsession with decentralization purity at the cost of usability. This session explores how to hide the complexities of crypto, enabling seamless integration for users who may not even realize they are using a wallet. We’ll cover simplifying user interactions, making wallets function invisibly, maintaining benefits like permissionless innovation, managing thousands of wallets, and real-world applications. It’s time to push for real, user-friendly innovation.
Bootstrap Your dApp UX
What if we could streamline Web3 development, making it easy to prototype user-friendly dApps and drive mass adoption? Despite improvements, crypto's complexity makes intuitive design challenging. Many projects are developer-led, resource-constrained, and rushed to market, leaving little time for thorough design and user testing. In this talk, you'll learn to recognize common Web3 design mistakes and leverage best practices from DeFi and traditional finance to quickly bootstrap a user experience
Speedrunning chain abstraction EIPs
We look at different EIPs in pipeline across the CAKE stack and how they relate to chain abstraction.
ERC-4337: Adoption Analysis
Since the EntryPoint contract was deployed, millions of smart accounts have been created and UserOps submitted, via hundreds of exciting projects in the space. Join us as we look at the interesting trends onchain and the unique challenges and exciting opportunities faced by teams building in the space
Keynote: Nomic Foundation’s vision for Ethereum’s tooling ecosystem
Nomic Foundation is the nonprofit behind Hardhat. Nomic’s co-founder and CTO will walk you through Nomic’s long-term vision for a community-driven developer tooling ecosystem for Ethereum.
Account Abstraction Panel
Account Abstraction: Experts agree, if we don't have Account Abstraction, then Ethereum is at stake! Your private key wallet will soon be a thing of the past. Account Abstraction promises to put programmability into every Ethereum wallet, and unlock new frontiers for both developers and users. How will Ethereum be different, when every wallet upgrades to a smart wallet? What will it take to get there? What commercial use-cases emerge? What other parts of Ethereum does AA touch?
