Base

There are so many exciting stuff coming to the Ethereum UX !

No one is talking about them because they are hidden behind weird names (such as EIP-7702 or EIP-5792), but don't worry, I got you!

Here is how the EVM UX will change in the next few months (including for Base) 🧵

Let's start with EIP-7702.

It basically lets your EOAs (Externally Owned Accounts – i.e. normal wallets with a seed phrase) act like smart contracts.

This means:
✅ Better wallet UX
✅ Simple migration to a smart wallet

And then there’s EIP-5792 😳

This one's a bit more under the radar, but it’s super important

It proposes standardized “capabilities” that apps can understand, like "paymaster" or "batching" for richer metadata and better UX.

No more having to sign 10 transactions for a simple action!

Imagine:

- You go into your favorite DeFi app like you go on Amazon

- You make a lot of actions that are added to your "shopping cart"

- You batch everything in a single signature once you are done "shopping"

It's this simple ! The EVM UX is about to get 10x better.

TL;DR: Ethereum and Base UX about to glow up ✨

- EIP-7702 = Smart Wallet instead of your dumb wallet

- EIP-5792 = Human-friendly actions that wallets can present beautifully

Add them together, and you get a smoother, more intuitive experience without sacrificing self-custody

Why is EIP-7702 a big deal?

EOAs (like your web extension wallets) are dumb. They can't have logic.
Contract wallets (like Base Smart Wallet) are complex and not widely adopted yet.

EIP-7702 gives you the best of both worlds – migrate to a Smart Wallet without changing your address.
