Vitalik: Crypto Wallets Like Metamask Will Soon Disappear Due to Quantum Computers

Although Account Abstraction technology has made many advances, there is still much debate in the dev community about whether to move to a new system where EOAs wallets like Metamask are no longer needed.

Vitalik frankly stated: Quantum computers will soon make current security technologies obsolete, which means EOAs wallets will no longer be safe in the future.

In short, the replacement of EOAs wallets by AA wallet systems is inevitable and necessary to protect us from quantum computer attacks.

Upgraded from traditional wallets, AA wallets are "smart contracted", allowing flexible customization for each purpose of use. AE can easily restore accounts via social recovery, enhance security with multisig, change seed phrases and pay flexible gas fees. That overcomes the limitations of current EOAs wallets, which only support receiving and sending tokens without advanced security and utilities.
