Smart Accounts in Production Lessons and Real World Challenges

The Ethereum Foundation published a video featuring speakers Ulas Erdogan and Alim Sahin discussing practical lessons from running smart accounts in production for four years. The presentation covers challenges at both wallet scale and institutional scale. Topics include real world issues with passkeys and password managers during user onboarding, complexities in managing account recovery when users lose devices, and the difficulties of scoping session keys. The speakers also examine gas abstraction hurdles, such as UserOperations passing simulation before reverting on chain or getting rejected by bundlers due to fee fluctuations, as well as the audit surface trade offs associated with modularity.
