The Wallet and UX Stack to Build Web3 Applications for the Masses
Duration: 00:00:00
Speaker: Nichanan Kesonpat
Type: Talk
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
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).

Bringing Ethereum to 1B Telegram Users
Learn how we use account abstraction to build an invisible wallet for 1 billion Telegram users. We will share our methods and learnings, showing how users and dapp developers will soon seamlessly interact with Ethereum, enjoying a smooth experience without ever realizing they are using a wallet. Features like biometric authentication will enhance user experience, while session keys make transactions invisible, ensuring secure and effortless interactions.

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...)

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

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

Bringing web2 users onchain: Picnic’s case study
Account abstraction had mixed success so far. Some specific purpose apps have been getting great usage, but there is still little economic value being transacted using account abstraction and very low repeat usage. By building Picnic, we discovered that account abstraction is currently much better suited to bring web2 users onchain than to cater for crypto natives. We'll share our learnings from the trenches and offer builders a fresh perspective on how to accelerate adoption.

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.
