wallets

A reference guide to Ethereum wallets, which are tools or account designs used to control blockchain assets and approve transactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explaining wallet types, planning wallet architecture or designing key management. It does not send transactions.
Why use it?
It helps explain the differences between ordinary accounts, smart-contract wallets, shared-control wallets and newer account designs before choosing an architecture.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wallets scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Wallets on Ethereum

What You Probably Got Wrong

EIP-7702 is live. Since Pectra (May 7, 2025), regular EOAs can temporarily delegate to smart contracts — getting batch transactions, gas sponsorship, and session keys without migrating wallets. This is NOT "coming soon." It shipped.

Account abstraction status: ERC-4337 is growing but still early (Feb 2026). Major implementations: Kernel (ZeroDev), Biconomy, Alchemy Account Kit, Pimlico. EntryPoint v0.7: 0x0000000071727De22E5E9d8BAf0edAc6f37da032.

Safe secures $100B+. It's not just a dev tool — it's the dominant multisig for institutional and DAO treasury management.

EIP-7702: Smart EOAs (Live Since May 2025)

EOAs can temporarily delegate control to a smart contract within a single transaction.

How it works:

  1. EOA signs an authorization to delegate to a contract
  2. During transaction, EOA's code becomes the contract's code
  3. Contract executes complex logic (batching, sponsorship, etc.)
  4. After transaction, EOA returns to normal

What this enables:

  • Batch 10 token approvals into one transaction
  • Gas sponsorship / meta-transactions for EOA users
  • Session keys with limited permissions
  • Custom authorization logic
  • Eliminates "approval fatigue" (approve + execute → one step)

Status (Feb 2026): Deployed on mainnet. MetaMask, Rainbow adding support. Still early for production agents — use standard EOAs or Safe until tooling matures.

  • Owner 2: Human's wallet (cold, recovery)
  • Threshold: 1 (agent can act alone)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wallets is a skill published in the GitHub repository ObolNetwork/obol-stack (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,921 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
