EIP-3074 Explained ✨

Last week, EIP-3074 was approved to go live on Ethereum.

This is one of the biggest Ethereum proposals in years — transforming web3 wallets and making them simpler, cheaper, & more powerful.

TLDR: EIP-3074 gives smart contract capabilities to externally owned accounts (EOAs). EOAs are the wallets most of us use today — like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet.

These smart contract capabilities include gasless transactions, wallet asset recovery, batch transactions, & more.

But wait, doesn’t account abstraction already do that?

Yes, smart accounts have those features & onboard users to web3 more easily — but they have some UX issues too, such as:

• Needing ETH to interact with web3 apps

• Signing transactions for every onchain action

• No wallet recovery if you lose your keys

So how does EIP-3074 work? What does it mean for users? And when will it go live? Learn about all of the above (& more) in our full breakdown:
