The Ethereum Account Abstraction standard has split. Ethlabs researcher Derek Chiang revealed that Base-led EIP-8130 and Ethereum L1-led EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions), coordinated to work together, broke down last week; both sides will now push different proposals.
The core disagreement isn’t just technical details, but priority: L1 places greater emphasis on censorship resistance, privacy, and post-quantum capabilities; L2s such as Base prioritize high throughput, compliance, and customization. Any shared standard would have required at least one side to give way on core goals, but they ultimately couldn’t reach agreement.
In the short term, the most direct pressure will fall on wallet developers. The same account experience may need to be adapted to different chains and standards; ordinary users may also feel more noticeable “invisible barriers” between chains.
Going forward, there are essentially two paths: either establish a coordination mechanism that covers more stakeholders and jointly govern shared resources like the EVM; or accept that L1 and L2 fragmentation is inevitable, and shift to masking underlying differences at the wallet and application layers.
This EIP dispute, on the surface, is a fight over standards; in reality, it’s a dispute over which matters more—the Ethereum roadmap or the ecosystem’s value. Developers betting too early on a single standard may be less wise than preserving modular adaptability.
