Chain abstraction? But I want to know where my tokens are
As a space, we face a big problem: how should we think about where assets live. Is Eth different from oEth or aEth. Does it matter where Circle prints your USDC? Should chains delegated to the kind of infra that Google Cloud or AWS is today? Clearly, the fragmentations of USDC/USDT/xDAI and then all the L2s creates horrible UX. However, the underlying assets are different things and the chains they live on have completely different security guarantees. Let's fix this!

Chain-abstracted Smart Accounts -- How to Build Amazing Web3 UX in 2024
Chain abstraction (CA) and account abstraction (AA) have been two of the hottest topics in Web3, but few people know how to use them together. In this talk, I will explain how developers can build amazing Web3 experiences by combining AA with CA in the form of "chain-abstracted smart accounts" -- smart accounts that can spend their balances on any chain without bridging.

Putting Intents and Users Together
Intents represent a new approach to Web3 interactions. However, the transition from the existing structure to an intent-centric space remains uncertain unless we maintain user familiarity. We conducted experiments on user experience for intents and tested them with a focus group. This talk will explore how we can approach intents in a way that users will adopt more readily by leveraging the latest standards and EIPs, including EIP-7702, ERC-4337, ERC-7579, and ERC-7715.

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

Building with Intention: Achieving System Qualities through Design Choices
Technical and design decisions should be viewed as means to achieving broader system qualities rather than ends in themselves. This talk reorients our focus on the underlying goals of these decisions, exploring why we build the way we do, what we aim to achieve, and whether there are better ways to reach comparable outcomes. Through examples and case studies, attendees will learn to critically evaluate their design choices and understand the broader implications of their technical strategies.

From MPC Wallets to Smart Contract Accounts
The proposal outlines a path for the mass adoption of smart contract accounts by using MPC wallet as a transitional solution. Users can start their web3 journey by using MPC wallets which can be done via social login. Later, users can turn the MPC wallets into smart contract wallets using EIP-7702, enhancing the user experience with feature-rich options while maintaining the security benefits of MPC wallets to protect the EOA private key.

Butterfly Effects + Paradoxes of Account Abstraction in DeFi
In this session, we’ll dive into the transformative potential of account abstraction in shaping the future of DeFi, exploring both its cascading impacts and inherent paradoxes. By pushing the boundaries of accessibility, onboarding, and wallet capabilities—such as multi-sig, social recovery, custom modules, transaction batching, and advanced transaction logic (ERC-7579)—account abstraction opens up new possibilities for collaborative DeFi, cross-chain interoperability, and enhanced composability

Building Consumer Facing Interfaces for Trust in Supply Chains
Provenance is building a platform to make consumer product supply chains more transparent. Taking advantage of Ethereum and IPFS, we’ve been iterating through a number of pilots in different industries, from organic bacon to fair-trade coconuts to enable a simple shared and trusted way to share the proven claims behind our products e.g. organic or proof of payment of fair wages, and link that to the flow of batches of product. Throughout this journey, we have learnt a lot about industry needs, working with both small and large retailers and brands. We’ve also forged partnerships with sustainability standards e.g Soil Association organic and other data systems that we can connect to enable verification of claims and inputs for our Ethereum based app e.g. Sourcemap. User centred design is core to the work at Provenance – exploring how we can make blockchain backed data appear differently on the frontend and provide accessible links to inspect the chain. As a social enterprise largely built through grant funding and with the support of academia we are keen to share our learnings with the developer community and gauge interest in forming a group around the development of blockchain backed interfaces for trusted data sets.
