At Trust Wallet, we’re constantly innovating to ensure our users enjoy a secure, seamless, and cutting-edge experience. Recently, our Senior Smart Contract Engineer, David Kim, dived deep into the latest advancements and trends in wallets, smart wallet protocols, and chain abstraction technologies during Devcon, dubbed as “the Ethereum conference for developers, researchers, thinkers, and makers”. From dissecting industry developments in ERC standards to anticipating trends that will shape 2025 —below, David shares his thoughts and findings from Devcon, while shedding light on the current landscape and a future outlook for Trust Wallet. Thoughts and Findings from Devcon Devcon was the perfect opportunity to connect with leaders across the wallet and blockchain space. Our primary focus was to explore developments in Account Abstraction (AA) and smart wallets, particularly around EIP 7702, as these are critical areas for Trust Wallet’s future. We also spent time engaging with general wallet users to gather feedback on their needs and pain points. One of the most significant advancements discussed at Devcon was Account Abstraction (AA). This technology is revolutionizing how wallets operate by transforming traditional externally owned accounts (EOAs) into smart wallets. This transition enhances both functionality and security, making wallets more versatile and user-friendly. Following the recent Pectra merge, the infrastructure supporting AA is rapidly evolving. Companies are preparing meticulously, with some even establishing dedicated EIP 7702 teams to lead this transition. The approaches to integrating EIP 7702 vary among wallet providers. Additionally, the Ethereum Foundation team, together with Etherspot, Fastlane, Candide launched the decentralized P2P mempool for ERC 4337— and it’s a pretty significant step for the AA ecosystem, considering that all existing UserOperations were generated through a private mempool. But while enthusiasm for AA is high, many wallets are still in the early stages of mapping out how their existing products will…
