EIP-6551 gave NFTs a standard route to smart accounts
EIP-6551 proposes token-bound accounts that let an NFT control a smart-contract account and associated assets.
The model allows an NFT to act as a container for items or application state rather than only a transferable pointer.
The proposal expanded composability between NFTs, identity and account-based applications.
Account delegation introduces recovery and transfer edge cases; users should understand what assets move with an NFT and what does not.
