Duration: 00:09:15
Speaker: Itai Turbahn
Type: Lightning Talk
Expertise: Beginner
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
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.

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.

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...)

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

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.

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.
