On this week's episode of 0xResearch, Julien Niset and Alex Gluchowski join us to discuss how account abstraction, smart contract wallets and Layer 2s will 10x crypto's user experience. We explore how account abstraction works, the benefits and challenges, base layer (ETH L1) implementations and how Argent/zkSync are pushing these innovations forward. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at smart contract wallets, social recovery and more!

And as usual, we start the episode with our analyst Hot Seat/Cool Throne segment, where we discuss the top themes and narratives out of ETH Denver. This includes a host of new MEV innovations, EigenLayer hype and the zkEVM wars!
