The proposed transaction type would include a contract_code field and a signature, enabling EOAs to adopt smart contract functionalities temporarily.<\/p>\n<p>The core intention is to provide enhanced usability and security for EOAs, addressing common issues like batching transactions, sponsorship of transactions, and privilege de-escalation.<\/p>\n<p>The standard would also allow for de-escalated privileges by enabling users to sign subkeys with limited permissions. For example, a wallet administrator could allow subkey holders to spend only ERC-20 tokens, use only part of a wallet balance, or access select applications.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternative to EIP-3074<\/h2>\n<p>The draft proposal provides an alternative to EIP-3074, an existing standard that offers many of the same capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>However, EIP-7702 aims to address forward-compatibility issues. Unlike EIP-3074, it does not introduce opcodes, which would supposedly become obsolete in an &#8220;endgame account abstraction&#8221; where all users use smart contract wallets.<\/p>\n<p>Buterin and co-proposers believe endgame account abstraction is likely when quantum computing breaks the cryptography used in standard Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) or standard user-controlled Ethereum wallets.<\/p>\n<p>EIP-3074 could also create an invoker contract ecosystem separate from the smart contract wallet ecosystem. With EIP-7702, the proposers aim to avoid a division of efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its potential benefits, Buterin <a href=\"https:\/\/hackmd.io\/@vbuterin\/3074_via_tx_type\">noted that<\/a> EIP-7702 might face similar criticism as its counterpart, as it requires trust in code and may lead to centralization. He believes that any proposal to handle privilege de-escalation faces the same challenge.<\/p>\n<h2>Ongoing developments<\/h2>\n<p>EIP-7702 is currently in the draft stage, and its future is unclear.<\/p>\n<p>However, developers intend to include EIP-3074 in Ethereum's next upgrade, Pectra, in late 2024 or early 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Another related standard, ERC-4337, provides account abstraction features with similar applications, including group-access wallets and bundled and sponsored transactions. Developers deployed the standard to Ethereum in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ethereum-launches-erc-4337-smart-accounts\/\">March 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Together, such standards allow services to administer user wallets without maintaining direct custody of user funds, providing a key alternative to fully centralized services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent proposal, prominent Ethereum developers, including Vitalik Buterin, Sam Wilson, Ansgar Dietrichs, and Matt Garnett, suggested a new transaction type to enhance Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs).
