π’ Bulls Say
Account abstraction will massively improve user experience, security, and unlock institutional capital into DeFi, driving significant long-term ETH demand and ecosystem growth.
π΄ Bears Say
Implementation delays, potential for new attack vectors, or lack of rapid adoption by dApps could defer benefits, while competing L1s innovate faster.
