Add additional functions to $HONEY (and potentially $WBERA) tokens so that would allow it to support ERC-3009 Transfer With Authorization ERC-3009: Transfer With Authorization .
Motivation / Reasoning
Better overall UX when giving users the option to execute transfers on behalf of them (no need to approve and transfer)
Low-Effort - $HONEY - Natively support contract upgrades and would require upgrading the implementation to suppor the additional functions
Bigger-Effort - $WBERA (And wrapped tokens in general) - Does not support contract upgrades for security reasons and would require that the chain perform a hard fork to support this additional functionality
this proposal further accelerates honey adoption as it’ll improve the UX by a lot through both being able to pay gas with HONEY and also use HONEY as a currency to leverage x402 that has been the talk of the town recently
strong against on WBERA - weth standard contract change can brick lot of integrations that have gas assumptions built in (including Kodiak dex), and should not add fancy features
Yeah, I think there might be a possibility that there is a different token that gets launched that wraps BERA and/or WBERA to allow for x402 potentially in the future. That way it doesn’t disturb existing functionality.
