Ethereum is a blockchain with a computer embedded in it. It is the foundation for building apps and organizations in a decentralized, permissionless, censorship-resistant way.

EIP-7702 is a standard slated to be released with the Pectra hardfork in Q2 2025 that allows EOAs to become smart contracts by setting code at their address. This will allow wallet providers to offer users the option to upgrade their EOA to a smart contract wallet. Many smart contract wallet implementations have initializer functions that are designed to be called atomically upon deployment by a factory. Due to the nature of how code is set at an account via EIP-7702, the same guarantee of atomic deployment and initialization cannot be made in this case. Without additional protection, such account implementations that were designed for factory deployment would be vulnerable to arbitrary initialization.

As a restaking platform, EigenLayer allows stakers to deposit assets and delegate stake to operators. Operators register for AVSs (Autonomous Verifiable Services), which are external platforms that leverage this stake to secure offchain processes. Currently, the operator/AVS relationship is limited to registration, deregistration, and rewards.

This competition has 2 codebases. One is the pump bonding curve which facilitates coin launching and a bonding curve which coins can trade on. The bonding curve uses the constant product design. The other code base is the pump swap contracts which facilitates liquidity provisioning and trading using a constant product formula to determine the price and lp tokens to represent liquidity positions.

Velvet.Capital is an Intent Operating System for DeFi which aims to streamline onchain portfolio management.
