a year ago I was shocked to learn no one around me in our SF hackerhouse know what a journey map is...
last week I passed by @ethereumhouseSF - was (pleasantly) surprised:
someone was running a 3-day design thinking x user research workshop for builders.
that's when I met the EF Usecase Lab team @orishim
they get products, and what's most missing in the age of vibe coding.
Their ethSF backrun - @synthesis_md agent hackathon, for ai agents, judged by ai agents looks fun 👀
Mar 20
The EF is not turning away from real-world adoption, and we’re not just catering to a cypherpunk niche
Doubling down on self-sovereign coordination means focusing on use cases Ethereum uniquely unlocks: unstoppable money, organizations, markets; user-owned identity, agents, social networks; programmable governance, insurance, credit, property rights
These may have sounded fringe a decade ago, but as geopolitical instability, debt crises, and corporate monopolies grow so does demand for systems with unbreakable guarantees
Our role at the EF is to ensure that Ethereum delivers those guarantees, both as credibly neutral infrastructure and as a rich ecosystem of applications that let users coordinate without trusted intermediaries

We're hosting the Community for EthSF on Agent related EIPs/ERCs This Friday in SF's Frontier Tower at 1:30PM
Sign Up: luma.com/3y9ufjdu
EIP-8141 frame transactions:
a new transaction type that makes smart accounts native to the protocol. No bundlers, no EntryPoint, no alt-mempool. Discussion lead by Elliot Friedman of Kleidi.
ERC-8150:
Uses ZK verification for agent-initiated payments, designed to plug directly into frame-based transaction frameworks. Discussion lead by Nathan Liang of @Vishwa_xyz.

I’ve never been so bullish living in San Francisco until now. In 3 weeks we’ve having 4 high agency conferences across AI, web3, and gaming.
In parallel - private dinners, community group launches, and demo days, all night hackathons, and more pop ups than can be physically attended are being hosted week over week. Half the people I meet are flying in from NYC because this is the place to be.
What a stacked couple of weeks highlighting:
🌁 NearCon @NEARProtocol
🌁 A Very Stable Conference @averystableconf
🌁 Gary’s List Launch Party @garrytan
🌁 Lobster.cash hosted by @crossmint and @colosseum
🌁 Stripe startup build day @stripe
🌁 a16z AI Demo Day @speedrun
🌁 Games Developer Conference @Official_GDC
🌁 EthSF @ethereum

1. EIP-8141 frame transactions — a new transaction type that makes smart accounts native to the protocol. No bundlers, no EntryPoint, no alt-mempool. Just programmable validation logic enforced at the consensus level. The culmination of a decade of account abstraction research, and the leading candidate for the Hegota hard fork in late 2026!
Lead by @elliot0x of @KleidiWallet.
Summary: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
ERC-8150 — As AI agents become autonomous economic actors, payment verification can't rely on trust — it needs proof. ERC-8150 uses ZK verification for agent-initiated payments, designed to plug directly into frame-based transaction frameworks. Picks up where 8141 leaves off.
Discussion lead by @nathan_sj_stem of @Vishwa_xyz .
Summary: vishwa-network.notion.site/E…
Incredibly honored to have: @nathan_sj_stem and @elliot0x lead the discussions!
Honored to have an incredible discussion on AI related discussions after at by @ekang426 and @kryptoplanet_
