We are all underestimating how mind-bending account abstraction is, even for crypto veterans.

I've had several conversations with people who simply could not let go of the concept of seed phrases, no matter what.

2009: Private keys
2013: Seed phrases
2025: Abstract signers (passkeys, ZK proofs, oracles, anything!)

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Porto.sh is a lovely demo showing passkey support.

i have missed the whole account abstraction work that has been happening since 4337. what is the best way to catchup?

I’m not an engineer, I’ll fully admit, but I am very much looking forward to all this complexity disappearing so that I no longer look like a jerk-weirdo when telling friends to try this or that protocol out
