Building WalletConnect 📲
Specialized Trust Machines as L2s will be a future trend for blockchain computing

That will be possible only after we decouple ourselves from “standard” EVM

We will start building “accelerated” EVM or alternative blockchain VMs that leverage the generalized EVM for security

A similar trend is being observed for blockchain computing

First trust machines were specialized (Bitcoin)
Then evolved into generalized (Ethereum)
Now we are slowly moving into accelerated (EVM L2s)

Today L2s are not specialized yet but they are most likely move away from EVM

The same evolution can be observed for cloud computing

First virtual machines were specialized (dedicated data centers)
Then evolved into generalized (shared data centers)
Now are setup as accelerated (shared microservices)

Both physical and virtual are now accelerated

Special shoutout to the Safe team who acknowledges this problem and has properly addressed it in their wallet

They have adapted the CAIP-10 spec for EVM chains and created the ERC-3770 standard

This how all dapps and wallets should treat EVM accounts

Treating an Address as an Account while ignoring the chain is a “solution” generating more problems that it solves

There is a reason CASA standards were built around specs such as CAIP-2 and CAIP-10

Let’s not be lazy and build long-term solutions

Chain Agnostic Improvement Proposals (CAIPs) describe standards for blockchain projects that are not specific to a single chain.
