PANews reported on March 27 that, according to The Bock, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said on Wednesday at BUIDL Asia, a cryptocurrency conference in Seoul, South Korea, that account abstraction is a way to provide security and convenience for blockchain developers and users, while modern account abstraction includes other features that improve security and convenience that Ethereum does not currently support. Security goals include allowing users to change and revoke private keys and better account recovery, while facilitation goals include enabling users to use ERC-20 to pay gas fees and payment automation. The concept of account abstraction refers to hiding more technical details of on-chain interactions to improve usability and user-friendliness. Ethereum's account abstraction is designed to enable user wallets to work as smart contracts without having to manage externally owned accounts and their private keys. Ethereum users currently interact with the network through the use of externally owned accounts (EOAs), which requires them to maintain a private key and additional accounts with additional funds, which is a major obstacle for both users and developers. "The next decade will be the time to really upgrade the ecosystem at the user level, let's do something that people in low-income countries around the world can really use," Buterin said at the event. ” During the Q&A session after the presentation, Buterin was asked about his thoughts on the concept of the metaverse. "For me, the metaverse is a very vague definition, and it feels like everybody expects to have a metaverse that they can all participate in," Buterin said. But the challenge is that it's often associated with virtual reality, however, virtual reality will eventually become simpler for what people really need, and a laptop that isn't a laptop isn't really the metaverse, although it's useful

The problem is that the SBF's lawyers said they had received millions of pages of documents over the past weeks and days, and that the information "came too late" for the SBF to view the documents as it would have done on bail. "So we are faced with addressing the issue of producing millions of pages of documents in the four weeks leading up to trial that our own clients were unable to review." Judge Lewis Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York said there was no evidence that the government did not act in good faith. The August document was only recently obtained from Google due to a "log file error" and the SBF knew about it long ago; more importantly, What’s surprising is that the vast majority of these documents came from the defendants’ own Google accounts. Judge Kaplan gave SBF's attorneys until Friday to submit a request to postpone the Oct. 3 trial, but said he would not necessarily grant it. Lawyers for SBF also argued that the laptop SBF received had a short battery life, there were no power sockets in the cell to charge it, and the internet was poor during half of the sessions, so it was hoped that SBF would be released temporarily before trial. Judge Kaplan asked why an extension cord couldn't be used, but prosecutors said it posed a safety risk. The judges hope to submit a joint report on prison conditions by Tuesday morning.

SBF lost his chance to bail earlier this month after Judge Kaplan ruled that SBF attempted to intimidate former company executives, including former Alameda Research co-CEO Caroline Ellison, in order to circumvent bail restrictions.
