EIP-7702, introduced with the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, allows EOAs to temporarily behave like smart accounts, unlocking Account Abstraction features without address migration. To ensure this new model remains decentralized and censorship-resistant, open infrastructure for submitting and processing UserOperations is essential. Backed by an Ethereum Foundation grant, the Etherspot team built a public EIP-7702 infrastructure integrated with the Shared Mempool, enabling reliable execution across multiple bundlers and networks. This infrastructure helps wallets adopt EIP-7702 safely, at scale, and without relying on permissioned relayers.

This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. EIP 7702 infrastructure to support account abstraction for EOEs. Why this matters? By EtherSpot. EIP 7,7002, introduced with the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, represents a major turning point for the EVM ecosystem. It lets externally owned accounts, EOAs, operate as smart contract accounts for a limited time. This brings account abstraction.

A features, such as advanced transaction logic and flexible gas payments to existing EOA addresses. Why EIP 7702 infrastructure matters. EIP 7702 introduces a new, set code, transaction type, zero by O4, that temporarily equips EOAs with powerful smart account functionality. However, without an open and reliable infrastructure to handle user operation, user op, submissions, adoption of 7,702 could become fragmented, while at the same time, private relayers introduce a risk of centralization. To prevent this, the Ethereum Foundation awarded a grant to the Etherspot Teamto build and maintain an open source, freely accessible, and censorship-resistant

user-op mempool nodes. This public EIP 7702 infrastructure aims to strengthen decentralization and censorship resistance while giving developers a transparent and reliable alternative to permission relayers. Atauso adds redundancy to the current bundler ecosystem, as user ops from both ERC 4,337 and EIP 7702 are shared across multiple bundlers through the shared mempool. Rocket the free censorship-resistant EIP 7702 infrastructure is now live on Ethereum, optimism, arbitram, base, unichane and world chain, and open for developers to test and integrate. Read the developer documentation to learn more projects that can benefit from the EIP-7702 infrastructure. Key-based WAL-E-O-A key-based wallets can now provide account abstraction compatibility to their existing users without requiring address changes.

With the freely accessible EIP-7702 infrastructure, wallet teams can introduce batch transactions for improved UX. Offer-sponsored are gasless operations. Add spending caps, session keys, or sub-accounts for greater security. Seamlessly transition users toward full smart account functionality without requiring address migration. These features empower wallets to evolve without affecting existing users. Hammer and wrench wallet developers can easily integrate the EIP-7702 infrastructure using the developer docs. At the same time, by integrating the EIP 7702 infrastructure, EOA wallet teams can leverage existing ERC 4337 smart contract wallets with a wide range of proven, battle-tested implementations. Account abstraction service providers bundler providers can also benefit from the EIP 7702 infrastructure, as any bundler connected to the shared mempool can process 7702 user ops. Additionally, it unifies account abstraction across ERC 4,337 and EIP 7702, and allows Bundlestow contribute to the censorship resistance of the Ethereum ecosystem.

To join these shared mempool, reach out to the EtherSpot team on Discord. Decentralized applications, DAPPS, DAPs that handle user transactions, such as Defy Platforms, NFT Marketplaces, or on chain games, can also benefit from wallets, adopt. EIP 7702. With standards like EIP 5,792, they can quickly detect a wallet's capabilities and inable features like transaction batching or gasless interactions, improving the overall user experience. While EIP 7702 makes these capabilities technically possible, the EIP 7702 infrastructure ensures that user ops from such DAPPs can be processed reliably across networks through the shared mempool. What makes the EIP 7702 infrastructure ensures that user ops from such DAPPs can be processed reliably across networks through the shared mempool. What makes the EIP 7702 infra developer friendly? For wallet developers,

the EIP 7702 infrastructure offers free access for all projects and individual builders within fair use limits. Seeneless integration, developers can easily plug into their existing stack with standard Web 3 libraries. Optimized performance thanks to native tracer support for faster transaction execution. Full compatibility with the latest entry point version. Always on reliability backed by 24-7 developer support. Currently supported networks, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Unichane, and World Chain. Upcoming Integrations Linea How to Get Started. In under 5 minutes, you can set everything up and start sending EIP-7702 user

operations. Right finger check out the full developer documentation for integration examples, codees snippets, and setup guides. Need help or have questions? Our team is happy to assist.
