The End Game Wallet: When Does Abstraction Go Too Far?
Duration: 00:10:02
Speaker: GregTheGreek
Type: Lightning Talk
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
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?

Usability changes in a post-EOA world
The wallet world has evolved to embrace contract accounts (4337 and 7702), app-owned wallets, session keys (CAIP-25), and permissions controls (7715). How might we on the app layer design and build upon these new account types? In this talk, we will demonstrate the possibilities for novel user flows given these new account standards, compare how these new standards can introduce pitfalls, and provide best practices on how to design for app layer in a post-7702 world.

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

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.

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.

"My mother will not use it"
In this Talk, I want to cover the different mindsets designers need to improve and optimize the work for web3. If we're going to change the way we interact with each other and aim to profoundly improve society with this technology, we can't think and use the same methodologies. We will cover topics such as the target audience (the title of the Talk), testing, the learning curve, web2 to web3, and more.

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.
