Ethereum and Base couldn't reach a consensus on wallet standards. According to Ethlabs researcher Derek Chiang, talks between the two projects fell through, and now each is pushing its own approach to account abstraction design.

What Happened

Negotiations between teams from the Ethereum and Base ecosystems to set a unified standard for wallets broke down. Derek Chiang of Ethlabs said that after talks collapsed, both sides are now moving forward with separate takes on account abstraction mechanics.

Where Each Stands

Ethereum and Base are developing incompatible account abstraction designs. Basically, each ecosystem is sticking to its own wallet architecture, without agreeing on a single standard.

Background

The main focus of the discussions was wallet standards and different approaches to account abstraction. All info about the disagreement and current direction comes from Ethlabs researcher Derek Chiang.
