The issuance debate around EIP-8363 widened, and Pooja, trent_vanepps and nero_eth explained Hegotá's process: the August 6 deadline is for proposals, not inclusion, and selection ends on November 8. On accounts, ERC-8366 proposes zero-knowledge spending policies, so ERC-4337 accounts, EIP-7702-delegated EOAs and other fund holders can release funds against a proof that meets a preregistered policy, and an EIP-8141 PR statically disallows approval scope in atomic batches. The EF's Trillion Dollar Security initiative funded WEBCAT front-end verification.

Spending policies and agent mandates on the account side

Magicians: ERC-8366 zero-knowledge spending policies

12:37 (junbeomlee), with ERC PR 1929. It standardizes a composable function set that any contract holding a user's funds (a dedicated escrow, a smart wallet, an ERC-4337 account or an EIP-7702-delegated EOA) can implement to release those funds only against a zero-knowledge proof that the payment satisfies a spending policy the owner registered in advance.

ERC PR 1930

Magicians: ERC-8370 inheritable agent mandates, 04:39, noting that AI agents are starting to hold money onchain and spawn copies of themselves, while almost every guardrail (signing-time policy engines, session keys, per-wallet caps) is attached to a single account; ERC PR 1930 was submitted the same day.
