[New Ethereum Draft Proposes Permanently Disabling EIP-7702 Delegation] According to The Defiant, Ethereum developer nicolashw submitted a core EIP proposal on October 30th titled "Permanently Exit EOA Delegation," proposing to allow wallets controlled by keys to permanently disable EIP-7702 delegation, enabling account owners to refuse smart contract execution on existing addresses. This proposal number has not yet been assigned and is still in an open and unmerged state; activation requires a network upgrade. The draft would utilize a currently invalid EIP-7702 Type 4 transaction to install a non-executable three-byte flag in the account, causing future delegation authorizations to be skipped. The account would still retain the address, normal transfer, and contract call capabilities, but incoming calls would not execute code. The draft notes that this feature only prevents EIP-7702 delegation and cannot protect against other risks after private keys are stolen.
