In this episode of Beyond the Code, Yitzy sits down with Tom Teman from the Ethereum Foundation to explore his path from early crypto days to shaping the future of wallets through account abstraction. Tom details his journey founding Portis, getting acquired by ShapeShift, and eventually joining Kraken—before landing at the Ethereum Foundation. He dives deep into ERC-4337, explaining how it revolutionizes wallet design by improving key management, enabling flexible recovery, and letting users pay gas with any token. Along the way, Tom shares candid insights into the Ethereum Foundation’s unique structure, the culture shifts he’s seen in big crypto companies, and why making crypto more user-friendly is the key to mainstream adoption. Whether you’re a builder, investor, or newcomer to web3, this conversation is packed with behind-the-scenes intel on how Ethereum is evolving from the inside out.
