The best time to get involved in crypto was ~3 years ago. The next best time to get involved is right now. The worst time to get involved? ~3 years from now. Choose wisely. Act with intent. [Note: this pattern holds true for many/most things in life.].

2/14 Let’s start with the current EOA tx flow. A user accesses their EOA via a non-custodial wallet – such as Metamask or Ledger – to compose, sign, and submit a TX to the public mempool. The ‘sign & submit’ step is critical because 4337 does not require a hard fork. How?

7/14 To summarize: ERC-4337 introduces a new User Intent Layer upstream of the existing EOA transaction flow. Users of 4337-wallets will transmit their Intents via Alt-Mempools. Bundlers then transform those Intents into signed transactions that the network can act on.

8/14 ERC-4337 changes everything & nothing. Everything: 4337 redefines what Ethereum TX can be – making them more programmable & expressive. Nothing: from the POV of the chain, we had signed EOA TX before 4337 & now we have signed EOA TX after 4337.

The mempool is a dark forest. It's filled with money-hungry apex predators. But it doesn't have to be scary. We just need the tools & resources to navigate it. @mcutler shares his knowledge w/ the Bankless Nation. Let's explore the dark forest:.

@BeamCTO @EigenPhi @drakefjustin @TimBeiko @sui414 @christine_dkim @uriklarman @ObadiaAlex @0xQuintus @0x81B @thegostep Efficient MEV extraction requires domain expertise, custom software development, etc. AKA it is expensive. The biggest staking pools have the most resources to invest, become the best at it, then offer higher yields – which in turn gives them more resources. AKA centralizing.

5/14 Bundlers receive candidate instructions via the ‘Alt-Mempool’ – a new, programmable transaction layer that operates independently of the current Public Mempool. Alt-Mempools introduce all sorts of interesting new possibilities (and complexity) to the network.

6/14 Finally, via their 4337-wallet, users specify their TX intent via pseudo-transaction objects known as userOps. For example, a TX intent userOp might specify “transfer this NFT from my Smart Contract Wallet to Cold Storage” and be transmitted to an Alt-Mempool.

Interesting! Everyone can watch Taiko batches hit the mempool & go on chain using @blocknative Transaction Explorer filters: – def click the Blob tab! I just saw one that used 1.56% of available blob space and hence was barely cheaper than using Calldata.

We recently saw @taikoxyz launch as the first Ethereum based-rollup, and it has had a noticeable impact on the Ethereum blob market .Since it will use the L1 as the sequencer it has no pre-confirmations, so batches must be included on the L1 for the user to get transaction
