Ethereum news: On October 31 (UTC+8), developer nicolashw proposed a core improvement draft to allow external accounts to permanently disable EIP-7702 delegation. This action would prevent future smart contract authorizations but would not revoke existing approvals or halt fund transfers. The Ethereum ecosystem news update notes that the draft remains unmerged and would require a network upgrade to be activated.

ME News reports that on October 31 (UTC+8), developer nicolashw submitted a draft Ethereum Core Improvement Proposal on October 30, aiming to allow externally owned accounts (EOAs) to permanently disable the EIP-7702 delegation feature while retaining their original address, standard transfer capabilities, and contract invocation functions. This action is irreversible and differs from merely clearing current delegations, as it prevents the account from authorizing smart contract code to act on its behalf in the future. However, it does not prevent fund transfers if the private key is compromised, nor does it revoke existing token approvals. It may also impact account recovery and asset access mechanisms that rely on the delegation feature.
The draft has not yet been merged or assigned a formal EIP number; if adopted later, it will still require activation through an Ethereum network upgrade. (Source: ODAILY)
