Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a new blog post detailing his vision for an ideal crypto wallet.

Regarding cross-L2 transactions, Vitalik suggested using chain-specific address formats (e.g., address@optimism.eth) and recommended that wallets automatically handle cross-chain exchanges and transfer processes. For account security, he advocated for social recovery and multi-signature mechanisms, proposing a 2-of-3 protection scheme for new users, which includes zk-email, local keys, and service provider backup keys.

Regarding privacy protection, the article emphasizes the need to directly integrate features like privacy pools and stealth addresses into mainstream wallets to achieve default privacy.

Looking ahead, Vitalik predicts that new technologies such as AI and brain-computer interfaces will fundamentally change wallet interaction methods.
