Burninate the Keys - Disposable Signers, Part 1

The author argues that crypto's attachment to permanent private keys is a security and adoption problem, and that "disposable signers" in ERC-4337 smart contract wallets would fix it. The piece contrasts EVM wallets, where users are expected to keep one mnemonic or private key as their identity, with SSL/TLS, where session keys are discarded after each session and certificates expire after a few years. Under the proposed model, a contract wallet's owner is a "signer" that can be rotated often, and new devices get their own signer added by an existing owner rather than receiving exported keys. The article says this would make keys largely invisible to users and improve security, and it promises a follow-up on implementing such a setup.
