- ERC-4337 enhances Ethereum’s smart contract wallets, optimizing asset management and transaction efficiency.
- RIP-7560 brings native account abstraction to Layer 2 networks, enhancing overall efficiency and user experience.
- Collaboration among Ethereum developers and the community ensures seamless integration and evolution of standards.
Ethereum stands prepared for noteworthy improvements to its account system. With a focus on enriching smart contract interaction within decentralized applications (dApps), the Ethereum team, led by developer Yoav Weiss, is channeling their endeavors into crafting a pioneering standard dubbed ERC-4337.
This standard allows Ethereum smart contract crypto wallets to function, where the smart contract, not an externally owned account (EOA), manages asset ownership. By introducing a new element called UserOperation, this standard improves efficiency by temporarily storing transactions in the alt mempool until confirmation. This allows operations to be more efficient and easier for the user.
Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum team crafted ERC-4337 as a solution to enhance the existing account model’s shortcomings. This standard targets improved user experience and efficiency within Ethereum, particularly benefiting decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contract interactions. Moreover, ERC-4337 endeavors to streamline user experiences, ensuring consistency across different Ethereum blockchain applications.
As part of the Ethereum roadmap, the development team also launched Rollup Improvement Proposals (RIPs), with RIP-7560 being one of the main ones. RIP-7560 follows the ERC-4337 initiative and brings native account (AA) abstraction to Layer 2 (L2) networks. This is done to unify various unique AA implementations of L2 solutions. By incorporating native AA on an L2 network, overall network efficiency and user experience will improve. RIP-7560 will be split into separate triplets to address different use cases, such as validation procedures, 2D nonce, aggregation methods, and EOA enhancement.
To ensure smooth and effective deployment, RIP-7560 needs to be enhanced to migrate to native AA on the L2 chain. This migration process will improve overall network efficiency and user experience. Additionally, compatibility with Ethereum Layer 1 (L1) will be maintained, allowing for a uniform migration method across the network.
The Ethereum development team’s current focus is on L2 adoption, but they also recognize the importance of implementing AA on Ethereum Layer 1 (L1). The plan is to gradually transition the L2 chain to RIP-7560 while Ethereum L1 continues with ERC-4337, ensuring compatibility and a smooth migration process over time.
Collaboration with L1 core developers, L2 developers, and the broader community is critical to perfecting RIP-7560 and ensuring successful implementation across Ethereum L1 and L2. With collaboration between core L1 developers, L2 developers, and the broader community, Ethereum is poised to enter a new chapter in its evolution.
