Ethereum Draft Would Let Wallets Permanently Disable EIP-7702 Delegation

A new Ethereum proposal would let accounts permanently opt out of EIP-7702 delegation while keeping their addresses and ordinary transaction capabilities. The opt-out is designed to let users disable delegated execution, but it would not protect funds if a private key is stolen. The draft is at the proposal stage and has not been adopted.

AI take

The proposal targets a real tension in EIP-7702: delegation enables smart-account features but also expands what a compromised key can authorize. A permanent opt-out gives users a way to keep the address while refusing delegated execution, which matters for wallets and account-abstraction providers that must decide whether to expose the setting. The draft's own caveat is the key point — it narrows one attack surface without addressing key theft itself, so it reads as a partial safeguard rather than a security fix. Whether the permanence of the choice draws pushback, and whether it advances past the proposal stage, is the open question.
