Questions
Which EVM standard — ERC-20 for fungible tokens, ERC-721 for NFTs, or ERC-4337 for account abstraction — has created the most unexpected downstream use cases beyond its original design intent?
- At what point does a proposed ERC standard reach sufficient adoption that building against it becomes safer than waiting for a finalized successor?
- How does account abstraction (ERC-4337) change the user experience enough to drive mainstream adoption of on-chain applications?
- Which EVM standard is most in need of an upgrade to handle agent-native transaction patterns that its original design didn't anticipate?
