Ambire Launches Browser Wallet Supporting Ethereum's EIP-7702

Ambire, a leading innovator in self-custodial wallets, has launched the Ambire Extension, a browser-based wallet that natively supports Ethereum’s upcoming EIP-7702. This extension allows users to pay gas fees in stablecoins and other tokens, eliminates the need for token approvals, and integrates smart account functionality with a user-friendly interface. The extension is designed to enhance the security and usability of self-custody without requiring users to migrate their accounts.

After nearly a year of private testing and refinement based on user feedback, the Ambire Extension is now publicly available for Chrome users without the need for invite codes. By merging the advantages of smart account functionality with traditional EOAs (externally owned accounts), the extension enables users to retain their existing addresses while accessing new features such as transaction batching, gas abstraction, and programmable security.

Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Ambire, highlighted the significance of EIP-7702, stating that it allows smart account capabilities to be integrated directly into existing wallets without friction. The extension’s architecture ensures that EOAs are as powerful as smart accounts, offering enhanced security, programmability, and multi-chain support to make self-custody more accessible and user-friendly.

Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade introduces EIP-7702, a protocol evolution that enables EOAs to function like smart accounts without the need for complex migration or loss of legacy compatibility. Ambire’s latest innovation combines powerful smart wallet capabilities with a seamless user experience, designed for speed, security, and composability. Key features include:
