How it's made
Challenges we ran into **Coinbase paymaster & bundler** The developer dashboard does not show the logs of the requests. Trying to debug why calls were failed was a pain. **Ethers and viem** Web3 world has been split into two different set of frameworks. Some use ethers and some use viem. Without good cross-compatibility solutions/libraries , development time gets significantly impacted. Example: Privy + zerodev/permissionless works mostly on viem. While EAS(Ethereum Attestation Service) requires ethers object. Passing the objects from Privy to EAS is not possible without a mapping function in the middles We ended up calling the contracts manually without the SDK because of this.
