And now, the time has come — the upgrade has landed, our thesis remains the same, the account renaissance has just begun.

Otim is bringing an entirely new execution environment built for the EOA. One that makes bringing your everyday commerce and tradfi operations onchain feel natural, intelligent, and secure.


The journey from that clunky QR code taped to a hardware wallet in Malaysia to this moment has been anything but linear. What started as frustration with crypto's broken user experience evolved into the discovery of a dormant Ethereum improvement proposal, which then became a year-long fight to bring account-level programmability to every EOA on the network.

Today, EIP-7702 isn't just live. It's the foundation for a new era of onchain finance. The gap between crypto's promise and its practical reality is finally closing, not through compromises or workarounds, but through a fundamental transformation of what accounts can do.

Every EOA now has the potential to become a programmable financial instrument while maintaining its essential simplicity. No migrations, no custody risks, no complex new stacks to learn. Just sign a message, and your account gains the ability to execute recurring payments, automated savings, conditional transfers, and sophisticated financial strategies that were previously impossible.

This isn't just about making crypto easier to use, it's about making it useful in the way traditional finance is useful. Pull-based payments that work like direct debit. Pre-authorized transactions that enable subscription services. Conditional execution that powers automatic investing and debt management. The building blocks of modern commerce, finally available onchain.

The proof-of-concept applications we built during our advocacy year – the Netflix clone, CATWIFHAT, our utility packages – were just the beginning. They demonstrated what was possible with account delegation, but the real innovation will come from the thousands of developers who can now build financial products that feel natural to users who've never touched crypto before.

Otim represents the first wave of this renaissance. We're not just a protocol; we're a new execution environment that treats EOAs as first-class citizens in the smart contract ecosystem. Every instruction you create with Otim is a testament to what accounts can become when they're empowered with programmability while retaining their fundamental security model.

The vase I bought in that Malaysian antique shop still sits on my aunt's shelf, a reminder of how far we've come. What took minutes of anxiety-inducing manual inputs can now happen automatically, securely, and seamlessly. The shop owner's printed QR code has been replaced by something far more powerful: accounts that can think, plan, and execute on behalf of their owners.

This is the future we fought for. This is the gap we've closed. This is the renaissance we've enabled.

Long live the EOA.
