Ethereum Exploring Wallet Simulations to Enhance User Experience

The Ethereum community is weighing the potential benefits of introducing transaction simulation into wallets, following a proposal by co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Buterin's idea involves building simulation capabilities into wallet flows to allow users to preview on-chain outcomes before signing transactions. The goal is to reduce mistakes and improve overall user safety and experience.

The concept centers around aligning a user's stated intention with what the blockchain will actually do when the transaction executes. This would involve simulating transactions against recent chain state, with human-readable previews showing effects on assets, approvals, and fees.
