Exploring various approaches to achieve effective decentralization for Intent-Based protocols
Duration: 00:08:49
Speaker: Mounir Benchemled

Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
Intents are emerging as the gold standard for transacting on-chain. However, they do come with decentralization trade-offs. In this talk, I'd like to present the status quo, various architectures, and new tradeoffs in terms of where they fit in the trilemma of fees, execution speed, and execution guarantees. The objective is to achieve maximum decentralization while maintaining a great UX and efficiency.

Smart Accounts need Smart Sessions
The world of dapps is evolving and wallets are becoming smarter. This is powered by developments in Smart Accounts which unlock more user-friendly experiences. Learn about how WalletConnect is introducing Smart Sessions and walkthrough all the standards (EIPs, ERCs and CAIPs) that will make the future of wallet UX possible.

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

The End Game Wallet: When Does Abstraction Go Too Far?
Chain abstraction has taken the front seat. As innovations continue, it's becoming increasingly stark that we will eventually approach a world where third-party solvers fulfill most transactions. The core protocol is also changing to cater to further abstractions even at the validator level. The question remains, how far are we willing to go in the name of efficiency, and optimizations, to which a user can't use Ethereum without third parties?

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.

Building a Cross-Chain DEX with Chain Abstraction & Intents
In a multi-chain world, creating a user-friendly DEX is challenging. This talk explores how a DEX can leverage intents and chain abstraction to offer seamless cross-chain trading. We'll discuss the implementation of ERC7683 and integration with Across Protocol to enable trading across multiple chains.

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

Postcards from the cutting edge of Gas research: what you don’t know can hurt you & your users
In July of 2024, we shared original research describing how the interaction between privately transmitted transactions and altruistic self-built blocks unexpectedly increase Base Fee volatility (see references below). We also warned that this effect would likely get more pronounced as private transaction share continues to grow. In this session we will revisit our original findings but with 4 months of additional data and deeper investigative research. Has gas price volatility increased as predi
