Pull request overview
This PR updates the documentation to reflect that EIP-7702 is now the default mode for Alchemy Smart Wallets. Users can now use their signer address directly without first calling wallet_requestAccount, simplifying the wallet setup process.
Changes:
- Made EIP-7702 the default mode for smart wallets throughout documentation
- Removed the requirement to call
wallet_requestAccountbefore transactions in most examples - Updated code examples to use signer addresses directly instead of account addresses
- Added guidance on how to opt out of 7702 mode when needed

| EIP-7702 is now the default mode for Smart Wallets. Simply create a client with your signer and use `sendCalls` - the SDK will automatically handle authorization requests to delegate the EOA to Modular Account v2 when needed. |
