Foresight News reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his views on account abstraction, stating, "We still do not have full account abstraction. Unless through intermediaries, it is not possible to make transactions from an account without using ECDSA verification (intermediary dependence is harmful to privacy and censorship resistance, and generally detrimental to the right to act permissionlessly). For example, if your account does not rely on intermediaries for transactions, you cannot achieve quantum security; nor can you establish a privacy protocol that does not depend on the (fragile) public broadcast ecosystem. There is indeed a lot of challenging work to be done to get this right. I just hope we don't fall into an even higher degree of intermediary dependence before then, which has already become the norm."
