Exploring Lessons from EVM Design and Alternative Blockchain VM Approaches

My guest today is Kristof Gazso, founder of Pimlico.

Pimlico is an ERC-4337 smart account infrastructure provider. Pimlico offers a handful of services, including Alto, the most popular bundler by total executed user operations, a paymaster transaction sponsorship solution, and permissionless.js a new platform agnostic typescript library built on top of viem, that helps devs wire dapps up to smart accounts.

On this episode, Kristof and I chat about the design of 4337, the most recent updates to the spec, and their recent seed round fundraise.

It was great getting a chance to talk to Kristof about his journey building Pimlico. I hope you enjoy the show.
