Ethereum and Base abandon joint account abstraction standard

Ethereum and Base developers have ended work on a common account abstraction standard after efforts to reconcile EIP-8141 and EIP-8130 failed, leaving the two networks to pursue separate transaction designs. Summary Ethereum and Base developers have ended efforts to align EIP 8141 and EIP 8130 after failing to agree on a common account abstraction design. Ethereum is prioritizing censorship resistance, privacy and security, while Base is focusing on scale, customization and compliance. EIP 8141 has been labeled a must ship proposal for Ethereum’s Hegotá upgrade, while Base will continue developing EIP 8130 separately. Wallet developers may need to support two native transaction formats if both proposals are eventually deployed. Ethlabs developer Derek Chiang said Monday that the authors of the two proposals stopped working toward a shared specification last week after finding that the technical options available would require either Ethereum or Base to compromise on core requirements. I'm sad to report that the AA collab between 8130 and 8141 (Frames) broke down last week, and Base and Ethereum are now going separate ways to implement different AA standards.I want to share some ref...
