Deciphering Runes - Native Fungible Tokens on Bitcoin

The success of runes will depend on user experience. If the broad compatibility of runes is quickly integrated and utilized, there is a good chance that they could replace BRC-20. In addition to storing token balances in UTXOs and shifting trust from the indexer level to the Bitcoin blockchain, runes should be easier to integrate with L2 solutions, bridges, and other DeFi applications.

Quick Reading EIP-3074: What is it? What impact will it have on Ethereum?

EIP-3074 is an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) that introduces a novel approach to account management. It enables the delegation of control over regular user accounts (EOA) to smart contracts, facilitating more sophisticated transaction strategies. Proposed in 2020 by Ethereum core developers, EIP-3074 introduces two new opcodes, "AUTH" and "AUTHCALL," empowering EOAs to transform into smart contracts without the need to deploy new contracts. The implementation of EIP-3074 aims to enhance the overall user experience for wallet users by enabling gas sponsorship, batch transactions, and wallet asset recovery. While EIP-3074 presents promising advancements, it also raises some concerns such as increasing the risk of user asset theft, and possibly forming a parallel technology stack with the Account Abstraction (AA) proposal EIP-4337, which requires ensuring interoperability between the two.
