Ethereum and Base Fail to Reach Consensus on Account Abstraction Standards, Will Pursue Separate Solutions
On September 15, Ethlabs developer Derek Chiang stated that the collaboration on account abstraction concerning EIP-8130 and EIP-8141 (framework transactions) concluded last week, with Ethereum and Base each advancing different standards. The two parties initially aimed to establish a unified solution applicable to both L1 and L2, providing a consistent cross-chain experience for gasless transactions, keyless wallets, and future quantum-resistant accounts. Chiang pointed out that Ethereum L1 places greater emphasis on censorship resistance, privacy, security, and quantum resistance, requiring support for signature aggregation, privacy protocols, and freely programmable account transaction types, leading to the development of proposals such as ERC-4337, EIP-7701, and EIP-8141. In contrast, Base and other L2s focus on scalability, customization, and compliance, seeking protocols that can identify and restrict specific accounts and transaction types, hence proposing standards like EIP-8130. Although both sides identified various technical solutions, they required at least one party to compromise on core objectives, ultimately leading to separate developments and shifting the responsibility for compatibility with different standards to wallet and application developers. Chiang believes that a future EVM coordination mechanism could be established to encompass more L1 and L2 participants or accept standard differentiation, hiding underlying differences through wallet and application layers; he currently favors the latter path.

On September 15, Ethlabs developer Derek Chiang announced that the collaboration on account abstraction concerning EIP-8130 and EIP-8141 (framework transactions) concluded last week, with Ethereum and Base opting to advance different standards independently. The two parties initially aimed to establish a unified solution applicable to both L1 and L2, providing a consistent cross-chain experience for gasless transactions, keyless wallets, and future quantum-resistant accounts. Chiang noted that Ethereum L1 places greater emphasis on censorship resistance, privacy, security, and quantum resistance, necessitating support for signature aggregation, privacy protocols, and programmable account transaction types, resulting in proposals like ERC-4337, EIP-7701, and EIP-8141. In contrast, Base and other L2 solutions focus on scalability, customization, and compliance, seeking protocols that can identify and restrict specific accounts and transaction types, thus proposing standards like EIP-8130. Although both sides identified various technical solutions, they required at least one party to compromise on core objectives, ultimately leading to separate developments and shifting the responsibility for compatibility with different standards to wallet and application developers. Chiang believes that a future coordination mechanism covering more L1 and L2 participants could be established, or that standard differentiation could be accepted, with underlying differences hidden at the wallet and application layer; he currently favors the latter approach.

FAQs

Q How do I create a Poloniex account and complete KYC verification?
ATo create an account, visit the signup page on our official website or download the Poloniex app (iOS/Android). Click "Sign Up," provide your email or phone number, set a password, and verify via the confirmation link or SMS code. After registration, go to "Settings" > "Security," upload your valid ID documentation, and take a selfie to complete KYC verification. This process usually takes 24-48 hours.
Q What payment methods does Poloniex support for buying Ethereum (ETH)?
APoloniex supports: 1) Credit/debit cards (Visa/MasterCard) for instant purchases of stablecoins (eg. USDT); 2) P2P trading to buy stablecoins (e.g. USDT) from other users via escrow; 3) Bank transfers (fiat deposits) in USD and other fiat currencies (1-3 business days processing); 4) OTC trading for large transactions exceeding $100,000, with custom quotes.
Q What are the fees for buying ETH with a credit/debit card?
ACredit card payment process fees vary depending on the third-party provider, typically ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%. Poloniex does not store any data of your card. After purchasing USDT with your card, you can immediately trade USDT for ETH in the spot market. Standard spot trading fees (as low as 0.05%) apply to the ETH/USDT trade.
Q How do I start P2P trading? How long does it take to receive USDT?
AVisit the P2P trading page, select a seller's ad (e.g. USDT), create a buy order, and pay the seller directly (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.). Once the seller confirms receipt, the USDT will be released from escrow to your wallet. Settlement usually takes 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the payment method and the seller's response time.
Q What are the minimum and maximum amounts for buying ETH?
AMinimum and maximum limits vary depending on the purchase method and your verification level. Credit/debit card purchases typically have a minimum limit of $50, with maximums depending on the providers. Most P2P sellers have a minimum purchase requirement of just $10. Bank transfers usually require a minimum deposit of $100. You can check each page for specific limits before proceeding.
