# Summer Projects ## JSON-RPC Specification There are several opportunities to contribute to the JSON-RPC specification. A few examples are: ### Automated testing Mostly writing `go` to integrate into Hive. See the example JSON-RPC tests [here](https://github.com/ethereum/hive/blob/master/simulators/ethereum/rpc/ethclient.go#L275-L285). The idea is to intercept both the requests and responses and validate them against the spec [schema](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/assembled-spec/openrpc.json). ### Improve documentation tooling There is a [frontend](https://playground.open-rpc.org/?schemaUrl=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/eth1.0-apis/assembled-spec/openrpc.json&uiSchema%5BappBar%5D%5Bui:splitView%5D=false&uiSchema%5BappBar%5D%5Bui:input%5D=false&uiSchema%5BappBar%5D%5Bui:examplesDropdown%5D=false) for the documentation written in typescript that could use improvements. The code for that UI is [here](https://github.com/open-rpc/playground). It's using the React framework which is super popular and would be a great thing to learn if you want to do more frontend engineering. ### Improve documentation This would entail interacting with the JSON-RPC API to understand how each method works, then translate that into better documentation. For example, `eth_newFilter` is a relatively complex method and has [very short](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/3a004855e9a88c816c120ea39ea6e12b5359d50b/src/eth/filter.json#L2-L19) description. ## Python testing I started a project a couple months ago to rewrite some of this existing testing tools to combine the functionality of [`retesteth`](https://github.com/ethereum/retesteth) and [`ethereum/tests`](https://github.com/ethreum/tests). That ended up becoming [`lightclient/testing-tools`](https://github.com/lightclient/testing-tools/). To compare the differences, here is a test [before](https://github.com/ethereum/tests/blob/develop/src/GeneralStateTestsFiller/stChainId/chainIdFiller.json) and a test [after](https://github.com/lightclient/testing-tools/blob/main/src/ethereum_tests/vm/chain_id.py) the project. The project is really in the MVP stage. It would be great to implement some more features and improve the UX so we can start having EIP authors use it.

Account Abstraction Link Tree

This is an rough outline of the major contributions to the topic of Account Abstraction over the years. Of course, it is not exhuastive and varies a bit on the exact domains of Account Abstraction (protocol, ERC, wallets, etc) that it touches. I hope you will find it useful. 2022 EIP-5003: Insert Code into EOAs with AUTHUSURP (Q) EIP-5792: Wallet Abstract Transaction Send API (M) A brief note on the future of accounts (Q) 2021

Fund EIP-3074 Research & Development

Introduction EIP-3074 adds a powerful new primitive to Ethereum that allows EOAs to act as smart contract wallets. This will allow many new use cases, including transaction batching and account recovery. If you are unfamiliar with this EIP, please review this thread. Statement of Work (Part 1) The first portion of work is focused on learning how EIP-3074 can be used. The learnings+research from this stage will feed directly into the next stage where the production contracts and integrations are completed. Total grant ask = $18,000 proof-of-concept Uniswap integration = $12,000
