<p>In April, there was a significant event where at least four wealthy investors, called “whales,” made large transfers of Bitcoin from their digital wallets to exchanges or other wallets.</p> 
<p>Typically, whales hold significant amounts of tokens, which can greatly affect a token’s price and overall perception whenever it is moved.</p>

<p>During his speech at the Ethereum Community Conference (ETHCC) in Paris, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, praised modern account abstraction as a solution that is remarkably elegant.</p> 
<p>This upgrade does not require any modifications to the underlying protocol, making the transition seamless and without the need for such changes.</p>

<p>The concept of account abstraction has been in development since 2015, even preceding the launch of Ethereum itself.</p> 
<p>It aims to replace Externally Owned Wallets (EOAs) with smart contract-based wallets. If successfully implemented, it could simplify crypto wallet management to the simplicity of an email account.</p>
