## **1. Title** **[Draft] [OBRA] Three-Part Research Series on Ethereum Account Abstraction - Ethereum 2077** ## **2. Authors** - Emmanuel Awosika (Forum Username: @eawosika | Email: [emmanuel@ethereum2077.com](mailto:emmanuel@ethereum2077.com)) - Sankrit Kowmari (Forum Username: @sankritk) - Tahira Fatima - Maleeha Fatima - Okechukwu Wisdom ## **3. Abstract** Ethereum 2077 requests **30,000 USDC** from Safe DAO to produce a detailed **three-part research series on Ethereum’s account abstraction** , focusing on **EIPs 3074, 5003, 7377, and RIP 7560**. This initiative will provide the Ethereum community with comprehensive analyses of the aforementioned proposals, enhancing understanding and facilitating informed discussions among developers. By partnering with Safe DAO, Ethereum 2077 seeks to dissect the technical and strategic aspects of the proposals, ensuring accessibility for a broad audience. ## **4. Aligned Strategy** Wildcard strategy ## **5. Funding Request** Total: 30,000 USDC ### Payment Terms - **Initial Cliff:** No payments for the first 4 weeks as per [Mid to large projects (≥ 10k USDC)](https://safe-global.notion.site/Get-funding-from-SafeDAO-ba1e63169d2d4bc08fd50ace9b95f12f). - **Payment Distribution:** After the 4-week cliff, payments will be streamed over the remaining 8 weeks. This can be structured as per the payment schedule mentioned next. ### Payment Schedule: - **End of Week 4:** No payment. - **End of Week 6:** $7,500 USDC (25% of total funding) upon verification of initial milestones. - **End of Week 8:** $7,500 USDC (25% of total funding) upon progress review. - **End of Week 10:** $7,500 USDC (25% of total funding) after further evaluation of continued progress. - **End of Week 12:** $7,500 USDC (25% of total funding) upon successful completion of the project and submission of a final report. ## **6. If applicable, upfront funding** No upfront payment is requested. Funding will be streamed according to SafeDAO’s terms for mid to large projects over a duration of 12 weeks. ## **7. Relation to Budget** The 30,000 USDC funding request represents **30% of Wildcard Strategy’s overall budget.** ## **8. Metrics and KPIs** - Social media reach and engagement on published research content. - Quality of content assessed through peer reviews and community feedback. Ethereum 2077 has a proven track record of delivering insightful and impactful research within the Ethereum community: - [EIP-7251: Increase MAX\_EFFECTIVE\_BALANCE](https://ethereum2077.substack.com/p/eip-7251-increase-max-effective-balance) - [EIP-7002: Execution Layer Triggerable Exits](https://ethereum2077.substack.com/p/eip-7002-execution-layer-exits) - [ERC-7512: On-Chain Representation For Security Audits](https://ethereum2077.substack.com/p/a-guide-to-erc-7512-on-chain-representation) - [EIP-7503: Zero-Knowledge Wormholes](https://ethereum2077.substack.com/p/eip-7503-zero-knowledge-wormholes) It is crucial to note that Ethereum 2077 is a relatively new publication. Therefore, forecasting precise engagement metrics would not be practical due to foggy data at the moment. ## **9. Initiative Description** The series will explore and elucidate the technical and strategic aspects of Ethereum’s proposed account abstraction EIPs, aimed at enhancing understanding and fostering a more engaged community. ### Scope of Work The scope of work is divided into four parts: 1. Research and data collection 2. Analysis 3. Writing and Development of Reports 4. Publication and Distribution #### Research and Data Collection - **Literature Review:** Extensively review existing documentation, previous discussions, and analyses related to EIP-3074, EIP-5003, EIP-7377, and RIP-7560. - **Stakeholder Interviews:** Conduct in-depth interviews with Ethereum developers, key stakeholders in the Ethereum Foundation, blockchain analysts, and business leaders within the ecosystem to gather diverse perspectives on the implications of the proposed improvements. - **Community Feedback:** Utilize surveys and participate in community forums to collect feedback and gauge general sentiment about these proposals. This will include interactions on platforms like Ethereum Magicians and Ethereum community subreddits. #### Analysis - **Technical Analysis:** Break down each proposal to understand its technical mechanisms, potential impact on the Ethereum network, and interactions with other EIPs. - **Comparative Analysis:** Explore the synergies and conflicts between different proposals. - **Risk Assessment:** Identify potential risks, challenges, and security concerns associated with each proposal’s implementation and how they could be mitigated. #### Writing and Development of Reports - **Drafting Reports:** Each month, draft a comprehensive report focusing on one of the proposals, starting with EIP-3074, followed by EIP-5003 and EIP-7377, and concluding with RIP-7560. - **Peer Review:** Each draft will undergo a peer review process involving external experts to ensure accuracy, impartiality, and depth. - **Finalization:** Incorporate feedback from peer reviews and community inputs to finalize each report. #### Publication and Distribution - **Publication Strategy:** Develop a strategy for the publication and distribution of the reports to ensure they reach a broad audience, including developers, researchers, and general enthusiasts within the Ethereum community. - **Dissemination:** Leverage Ethereum 2077’s platforms, social media, and newsletters to disseminate the reports widely. ## **10.

Thanks for posting this, @sankritk. One critical thing that I’d like to get a better feel for before casting a vote on Snapshot is the kind of reach your previous content has received? That said, in the interest of a timely proposal, and as a delegate with [sufficient voting power](https://boardroom.io/voter/auryn.eth?protocol=safedao), I believe this proposal is ready for a vote on Snapshot. ---

Hi @kdowlinOxKiel. Thanks for the feedback! I can totally see where you’re coming from, but we structured the proposal this way because we believe it’s the most effective and straightforward path to delivering value for Safe DAO and the wider smart account ecosystem. Specifically, a discussion of [EIP-3074](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3074) wouldn’t be complete without a discussion of [EIP-5003](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-5003)/[EIP-7377([EIP-7377: Migration Transaction](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7377)) (here’s a [Safe blog](https://safe.global/blog/eip-3074-risks-opportunities-for-smart-account-adoption) discussing the relationship between EIP-3074 and EIP-5003). Finally, a discussion of EIP-3074 and EIP-5003 wouldn’t be complete without a discussion of [RIP-7560](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/rip-7560-native-account-abstraction/16664), which is the endgame for account abstraction on Ethereum (as the Safe blog [also mentions](https://safe.global/blog/eip-3074-risks-opportunities-for-smart-account-adoption)). Since each proposal has enough material to warrant a separate report, we opted to split the “Account Abstraction Roadmap Series” project into independent sub-projects. This allows us to tackle each topic with equal levels go effort and tenacity…without trying to fit too many things into one report. Regarding impact: It is possible to measure impact _individually_ for each sub-project and aggregate the sum total into a cohesive metric that reflects the ROI/impact for the overall Account Abstraction Roadmap Series project. We don’t think the project’s size will be an issue if we took the approach of (critically) assessing the impact made by each project in isolation. Let me know what you think! ---

# Opportunity - Clearly explained content on EIPs 3074, 5003, 7377, and RIP 7560 outlining the potential impact on the Safe ecosystem would add value for those who are not able to research each of the above proposals in detail. - Would it be possible to contribute to the existing EIPs rather than creating additional content? For many of the EIPs I’ve read I’ve found the abstracts are well written at understanding the potential opportunities. Having the information in one place would also help increase the reach by directing people to 1 source. - I’ve come across some of [Emmanuel’s research](https://ethresear.ch/t/simplified-active-validator-cap-and-rotation-proposal/9022/21) organically while learning about Ethereum self staking the last few weeks. His research is clearly explained and backed by data which was helpful. # Funding - The [Timeline and Milestones](https://forum.safefoundation.org/t/sep-26-obra-three-part-research-series-on-ethereum-account-abstraction-ethereum-2077/5105#h-12-timeline-and-milestones-19) are well organized. - It’s important to understand how the potential funding would be allocated on a per item/sub-project basis rather than on a time basis to know what is being funded. - Moving forward I recommend including the funding for each item/sub-project in the Timeline and Milestones section. - Estimate the hours required for each week and/or month in the Timeline and Milestones section to know the general scope of the proposal. - I’ve proposed an [update to the proposal template](https://forum.safefoundation.org/t/sep-11-governance-amendment-season-1-sprint-4/4678/8) to help provide better guidance to proposers moving forward before they reach the voting stage. ---

Hey everyone, I am messaging on behalf of 2077 Collective to provide some updates regarding our research series that we were granted funding to produce. I have provided a link to a draft of Part 1 of the series below: > **[Google Docs: Sign-in](https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1nkQH2fhnQ6Y60NMQsKz8q_FHs8FH0ZKQpCoOtPjHxoY%2Fedit&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1nkQH2fhnQ6Y60NMQsKz8q_FHs8FH0ZKQpCoOtPjHxoY%2Fedit&ifkv=Ab5oB3pjc9_DjOZ2GqqbK0-6AGVDwpOmFUI_AVsKIWhaWkQoBq5datsCX-khEsrq3hRbVLFxar162w<mpl=docs&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=wise&flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S-1540458144%3A1724171473583900&ddm=0)** > > Access Google Docs with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use). We look forward to hearing your feedback on this draft to help flesh out the tone for the entire series as well as guide the delivery of the remaining two articles. I would like to take some time to explain why are behind schedule when it comes to what was agreed upon at the voting stage of this proposal. We have recently undergone a major restructuring of our organization along with an identity change (from Ethereum 2077 to 2077 Collective) and because of this our timeline for our promised research series really experienced some delays. We hope this provides some clarity on the delays and hope we can correct that going forward with new communication.
