Ethereum Proposal Allows External Accounts to Permanently Disable EIP-7702 Delegation Feature

Developer nicolashw submitted a draft Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) on October 30, which aims to allow external accounts (EOAs) to permanently disable the EIP-7702 delegation feature while retaining their original address, standard transfer, and contract call capabilities. This action is irreversible and can prevent accounts from re-authorizing smart contract code to act on their behalf in the future. However, it cannot stop fund transfers after private key leaks, nor will it revoke existing token authorizations, which may affect account recovery and asset access that rely on the delegation feature. The draft has not yet been merged and has not received an official EIP number; if adopted later, it will still need to be activated through an Ethereum network upgrade.
