| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Banclas, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. |
| 0:07.2 | And sometimes, that frontier is at a conference. |
| 0:10.0 | Like last weekend, we're over 1,000 developers, founders, builders, and investors attended |
| 0:15.2 | the StarCware sessions in Tel Aviv in order to participate in growing the StarCnet ecosystem. |
| 0:20.4 | This is Banclas' StarCware session series, which are nine bite-sized episodes interviewing |
| 0:25.3 | the founders, builders, and ecosystem developers of StarCnet. |
| 0:29.3 | Every once in a while, in the crypto world, a conference happens, but not everyone |
| 0:32.4 | is available to attend. |
| 0:33.4 | Don't worry, Banclas has your back, because I go to basically every conference that's |

| 1:02.6 | It enables account abstraction on the Ethereum layer 1. |
| 1:07.1 | StarCnet and other ZK rollups are going to be able to beat Ethereum layer 1 to the punch |
| 1:11.5 | when it comes to enabling account abstraction smart contract wallets, which is good, because |
| 1:15.4 | then they can come back and teach the Ethereum layer 1 about what needs to be built and how |
| 1:19.8 | ERC-4337 needs to be constructed in order to have the best smart contract wallet experience |
| 1:25.3 | possible. |
