There are a lot of things to write, and very little time. These posts are all forth-coming, but not done yet!
- Future of Wallets: It seems like we’re eventually going to be in a world of smart contract wallets, especially with account abstraction. But no one seems to be doing it! There’s just Argent on Ethereum and no one on Solana! Why is this?
