Base and Ethereum diverge on account abstraction standards

Ethereum and the Coinbase-backed Base network have ended efforts to create a unified account-abstraction standard. Collaboration between developers working on Ethereum's EIP-8141 and Base's EIP-8130 failed due to conflicting requirements for wallet programmability. This split may force wallets to support different transaction architectures across networks, highlighting the growing structural divergence as layer-2 blockchains prioritize their own commercial and development needs over L1 alignment.
