Etherspot Launches Public EIP-7702 Infrastructure to Support Account Abstraction for EOAs
Etherspot has launched an open-source, censorship-resistant infrastructure for EIP-7702, extending support for UserOperation (UserOp) submissions across Ethereum and Optimism, with upcoming integrations for Arbitrum, World Chain, Base, Unichain, and Linea. The system forms a public, permissionless backbone for wallets, bundlers, and dapps implementing Account Abstraction via both ERC-4337 and EIP-7702.
EIP-7702, introduced with the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, allows Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to behave like smart contract accounts temporarily within a single transaction, unlocking gas sponsorships, batched operations, and programmable transaction logic, all without changing the user’s address. While the standard enables these capabilities, the 7702 new infrastructure ensures they operate in an open and resilient environment by providing shared mempool nodes that process 7702 UserOps transparently and without private relayers.
The infrastructure development was funded through an Ethereum Foundation grant, recognizing the need for a neutral, community-governed infrastructure to prevent centralization in the new 7702 era. The shared mempool connects multiple bundlers, allowing UserOps from both ERC-4337 and EIP-7702 flows to propagate consistently across networks. This redundancy reduces censorship risk and enhances reliability for developers and wallet providers integrating smart-account features.
Wallet teams stand to gain immediate advantages. With the 7702 infrastructure, EOA wallets can offer smart-account capabilities, including session keys, gasless transactions, spending caps, and sub-accounts, without forcing users to migrate to new addresses. The free-to-use infra (within fair-use limits) integrates seamlessly with standard Web3 libraries, offering optimized performance and compatibility with the latest EntryPoint version.
For bundler providers and account abstraction service teams, the infrastructure offers interoperability with the shared mempool, allowing them to process both 4337 and 7702 operations and contribute to the ecosystem’s decentralization. Developers who want to join the Shared Mempool can reach out to the Etherspot team on Discord.
Etherspot’s initiative marks a critical milestone in Ethereum’s shift toward native account abstraction, bridging the gap between EOA wallets and smart-account frameworks. With open infrastructure and shared validation across networks, it sets the foundation for a more transparent, resilient, and censorship-resistant account abstraction ecosystem.
Bitget Wallet Brings Cross-Chain Gas Abstraction with EIP-7702 Support
Bitget Wallet has rolled out support for EIP-7702, allowing users to pay gas fees with stablecoins across eight major blockchains: Ethereum, Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Tron, and Optimism. The announcement marks one of the most extensive multi-chain deployments of the 7702 standard to date, positioning Bitget Wallet as a frontrunner in account-abstraction-driven gas-flexibility.
Under EIP-7702, Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) can temporarily operate like smart contract accounts for a single transaction, enabling flexible gas logic, batched actions, and sponsor-gas flows. Bitget Wallet leverages this functionality to let users transact and swap tokens without holding native gas tokens on each chain. The system supports major stablecoins including USDT, USDC, and Bitget’s native BGB, covering gas for transactions across its supported ecosystems.
The integration also introduces a unified paymaster-style architecture that automatically determines the optimal fee asset and handles conversion behind the scenes. Bitget reports early internal testing demonstrated significant reductions in user drop-off during onboarding and first-transaction flows — a long-standing challenge for multi-chain wallets.
From a user-experience perspective, Bitget’s implementation moves toward a truly chain-abstracted UX: users authorize an outcome (send, swap, stake) while the wallet handles execution and payment under the hood.
Base Aims to Power a Permissionless Financial System with Gas Fees Under $0.01
Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 network built on Optimism’s OP Stack, announced that its average transaction fees have fallen below $0.01, marking a milestone in scaling Ethereum for mass-market adoption. At the same time, Base founder Jesse Pollak outlined a bold vision: to evolve Base into a permissionless global capital-market layer where anyone can build and trade financial products without centralized gatekeepers.
In a recent statement, Pollak emphasized that Base’s next phase involves supporting a wider range of financial primitives — everything from tokenized assets and lending protocols to decentralized prediction and identity systems — under a unified, low-cost execution environment. This strategy seeks to make Base not just a cost-efficient L2, but a foundational settlement layer for Web3’s financial infrastructure.
The network’s fee metrics underscore the progress: with Optimism’s Bedrock upgrades and continued batching optimizations, Base now handles millions of transactions daily at a fraction of mainnet costs. These improvements have fueled a growing developer ecosystem building apps that can abstract away gas payments, hinting at a near-term convergence with account abstraction (AA) and chain abstraction (ChA) frameworks.
Low fees are central to this vision. Affordable on-chain operations make intent-based UX and sponsor-gas flows practical, allowing wallets and dapps to cover user fees seamlessly. As Base integrates further with Optimism’s shared sequencer and potential cross-L2 messaging standards, its infrastructure is positioned to power next-generation multi-chain experiences — where asset movement and execution are both invisible and instantaneous to the end user.
Thirdweb Integrates ERC-4337 Smart Wallets on Hyperliquid Mainnet and Testnet
Thirdweb has announced that AA is now live on Hyperliquid, integrating full ERC-4337 functionality across both mainnet and testnet. Developers can now deploy Thirdweb Smart Wallets on Hyperliquid, sponsor gas for users, and offer frictionless onboarding, all without requiring users to set up traditional wallets or hold native tokens.
In a post on X, the team described the launch as a major step toward enabling mainstream-grade UX in DeFi and gaming ecosystems built on Hyperliquid’s high-performance infrastructure. The new integration lets builders create smart accounts that handle gasless transactions, multi-action batching, and sponsored execution natively, while preserving full on-chain verifiability and composability with existing EVM contracts.
This move makes Hyperliquid one of the few non-EVM-origin networks to implement ERC-4337 directly, reinforcing its intent to combine exchange-level speed with decentralized autonomy. Thirdweb’s Smart Wallets abstract away key management and network friction, allowing dapps to onboard users instantly, through email, passkeys, or social logins, while still maintaining self-custody under the hood.
Thirdweb also confirmed that EIP-7702 relaying support is on the roadmap once HyperEVM integration is complete, extending compatibility with the newest Ethereum account abstraction standard introduced in the Pectra upgrade. This will allow seamless interoperability between smart EOAs and 4337 wallets, further unifying abstraction models across networks.
The integration is already live for developers, with Thirdweb providing SDKs, developer docs, and example dapps to get started immediately.
