At first I assumed W3sper was mainly about giving applications a way to construct and sign transactions.
But the more I looked, the quieter dependency stood out:
constructing a transaction still depends on knowing the account’s current state.
What caught my attention is the Bookkeeper requirement.
A newly created profile can provide the identity needed to derive an account, but without a synchronized Bookkeeper entry, the application does not yet know the balance and nonce it should use.
That seems like a small implementation detail, but it draws a clear line between knowing who can sign and knowing what can validly be signed.
A headless application can avoid relying on a wallet extension, but it then takes responsibility for keeping that state accurate and protecting the keys around it.
Maybe that is simply the trade-off of lower-level control.
Which leaves the quieter question:
does separating transaction construction from wallet state make custom signing safer, or just move more room for mistakes into the application itself?

What do you think about W3sper’s design?
