The link between EIP-7702 and the Binance exploit shifts the debate from wallet UX to the security surface created when ordinary wallets gain contract-execution powers. Wallets, tooling providers and exchange custody teams that adopt the upgrade now carry a new class of risk, and the missing technical detail makes it hard to separate a design flaw from an implementation failure. The open question is whether the Ethereum community treats this as a reason to revisit the proposal's safeguards or as a deployment and integration problem.
