Ethereum and Base drop unified transaction standard for programmable wallets
- —Ethereum bets on EIP-8141, Base on EIP-8130
- —Wallet developers will have to support two code paths and signature schemes
- —The same account may have different addresses on L1 and Base
- —ERC-5792 lets applications remain agnostic to the format
Why it matters: Format fragmentation complicates development and weakens the idea of a unified account identity between Ethereum and its largest L2.
