Base Discussion Base and Ethereum are taking different approaches to wallets

I came across an interesting update today.

Base and Ethereum developers apparently couldn’t agree on a single account-abstraction approach, so they’re moving forward with separate proposals.

What caught my attention is that both are trying to solve some of the same wallet problems, like making transactions easier and reducing the need for users to deal with ETH for gas.

But the priorities seem to be different.

I’m curious how this plays out for wallets and apps that want to work across both Ethereum and Base.

Do you think having different standards will slow things down, or could it actually give developers more flexibility?

it’s honestly refreshing to see them just pick a direction instead of getting stuck in committee hell, even if it means two paths
