Polygon is moving fast to stay ahead of the next major infrastructure shift. This week, the Ethereum Layer 2 officially rolled out support for EIP-7702 via its Agglayer CDK stack, becoming one of the first ecosystems to adopt functionality from Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade . This marks an important turning point for wallet UX and on-chain payments across the Ethereum stack. EIP-7702 enables externally owned accounts (EOAs) to temporarily behave like smart contracts, unlocking advanced features like bundled transactions, third-party gas payments, and custom recovery flows. Polygon’s implementation means that rollups built using Agglayer and the OP Stack can now tap into these capabilities ahead of Ethereum’s mainnet rollout. More rollup stacks are expected to follow in the coming weeks. For users, this shift means one thing: smarter wallets with less friction. Think simplified onboarding, gasless interactions, and real-world asset payments powered by seamless UX. It’s a serious step toward abstracting away crypto’s clunkier edges—especially as demand grows for Web3 apps that feel like Web2. Ethereum Holds Momentum as Smart Wallet Narrative Grows The broader Ethereum ecosystem continues to support this momentum . While ETH has cooled to $2,527 following a strong monthly run, its structural position remains solid. The network saw over $180M in exchange outflows this past week, and active addresses have surged above 560K. BlackRock’s recent S-1 amendment to support in-kind redemptions for its ETH Trust, plus a plan to integrate staking, adds fuel to the institutional fire. The Pectra upgrade—set to bring EIP-7702 and other major improvements like validator scaling and blob expansion—is already defining Ethereum’s next cycle. But it’s Polygon’s early execution that signals where this is headed: a world of customizable, gas-efficient, app-centric wallets powering a new wave of on-chain usage. As EIP-7702 propagates through L2s and smart account standards mature, Ethereum’s competitive edge may shift from base-layer throughput to user experience. Polygon’s lead in deploying Pectra functionality makes it a core player in that transition, one that may ultimately reshape how users interact with crypto altogether.
