Ethereum, Base Developers Drop Effort to Align Account Abstraction Proposals

The split matters less as a technical dispute than as a signal about coordination costs at the infrastructure layer, where Base's involvement makes the divergence a cross-ecosystem problem rather than a purely Ethereum-internal one. Developers building account abstraction features now face a choice of which proposal to target, and wallet and app teams are the ones most exposed to that ambiguity. Whether the two efforts converge later, or whether one simply gains adoption first, is the open question worth tracking.
