Ethereum and Base abandon joint account abstraction standard
In coverage record: 16 Sep 2026
“Ethereum's developers are prioritizing censorship resistance, privacy and security, while Base is focusing on scale, customization and compliance, according to Chiang. The differences eventually prevented the teams from settling on one transaction format. The decision leaves wallet developers facing the possibility of supporting two native transaction formats if EIP-8141 and EIP-8130 both reach production.”

“Chiang's argument connects the technical divergence to differing design priorities between layer-1 networks and layer-2 networks. He suggested that L1s are increasingly focused on elements such as censorship resistance, capture-resistance, open-source values, privacy, and security features—factors that could naturally lead to different account abstraction standards than those favored by scalability-focused L2 environments.”
