Building WalletConnect πŸ“²
Today marks 6 years since WalletConnect was first shared with the community πŸ™Œ

A simple prototype which grew into a thriving ecosystem πŸš€

Wallet UX continues to improve and our mission to build more interoperability continues πŸ’ͺ

Cheers to another 6 years of @WalletConnect πŸŽ‰

Blockchains are really hard πŸ₯²

But I’m not referring to the technical part which you can learn about it πŸ˜†

Yet Blockchains are still operated and governed by human beings 🀝

Blockchains remove a lot of human coordination but not all of it 🌐

Coordination is the key! πŸ”‘

Less than 4 hours away for Ethereum’s next upgrade… are you ready? πŸ‘€

Dencun is bringing lower rollup costs with 4844 πŸ’ͺ

Let the countdown begin!! ⏰

At the end of the day…

… it’s all about supply and demand πŸ€”

I’m not saying it’s the only thing it matters but there is very little space for great user experience without widely adopted standards

Ethereum UX is built on many EIPs and ERCs!

Multi-chain Accounts do NOT exist!

The goal is not to make accounts multi-chain…

What we need is multi-chain Assets instead πŸ™Œ

Smart Contract Wallets do NOT exist! πŸ‘€

Some wallets support normal accounts (EOAs)

And some might support smart accounts (SCAs)

Eventually all wallets sill support both account types…

Now the question is where will the future wallets live? πŸ€”

Specialized Trust Machines as L2s will be a future trend for blockchain computing

That will be possible only after we decouple ourselves from β€œstandard” EVM

We will start building β€œaccelerated” EVM or alternative blockchain VMs that leverage the generalized EVM for security
February 23, 2024 at 9:19 AM
A similar trend is being observed for blockchain computing

First trust machines were specialized (Bitcoin)
Then evolved into generalized (Ethereum)
Now we are slowly moving into accelerated (EVM L2s)

Today L2s are not specialized yet but they are most likely move away from EVM
February 23, 2024 at 9:19 AM
The same evolution can be observed for cloud computing

First virtual machines were specialized (dedicated data centers)
Then evolved into generalized (shared data centers)
Now are setup as accelerated (shared microservices)

Both physical and virtual are now accelerated
February 23, 2024 at 9:18 AM
All computing evolves into accelerated setup

First physical machines were specialized
Then evolved into generalized
Now are setup as accelerated

Today’s consumer chips have some generalized cores side-by-side with specialized cores for graphics, crypto and AI

PWAs have had a rocky history starting all the way back in 2015…

It has struggled to gain popularity due to the lack of native mobile features

Exactly 12 months ago Apple introduced push notifications for PWAs

The upcoming iOS 17.4 will now remove it again due to EU laws

Web3’s biggest disadvantage is that it’s a global-scale research project with real users πŸ™ƒ

Family is not important.

My favorite Wallet standards on Ethereum are…

* EIP-1271 - Smart Contract Signature Validation
* EIP-4361 - Sign-in-with-Ethereum
* EIP-6963 - Multi Injected Provider Discovery

Why? Because simple is better!

Does anyone have contacts into X engineering?

X is still using WalletConnect v1.0 in 2024 πŸ˜…

Key rotation is Key! πŸ”‘
November 24, 2023 at 2:12 PM
There are hundreds of Linux distributions

Why do we expect only one EVM implementation to exist?

Ethereum Mainnet will always be the conservative one but L2s will push the boundaries

Embrace EVM diversity to cultivate more innovative implementations
November 22, 2023 at 4:52 PM
The only reason MPC wallets are needed is because we believe EVM will fail to move away from EOAs and will also fail to adopt other cryptographic curves other than secp256k1 πŸ™ƒ
November 22, 2023 at 9:23 AM
Blockchain is the first cryptographic system where keys are NOT rotated and we call this a feature πŸ˜…

Special shoutout to the Safe team who acknowledges this problem and has properly addressed it in their wallet

They have adapted the CAIP-10 spec for EVM chains and created the ERC-3770 standard

This how all dapps and wallets should treat EVM accounts

Treating an Address as an Account while ignoring the chain is a β€œsolution” generating more problems that it solves

There is a reason CASA standards were built around specs such as CAIP-2 and CAIP-10

Let’s not be lazy and build long-term solutions

Chain Agnostic Improvement Proposals (CAIPs) describe standards for blockchain projects that are not specific to a single chain.
