ACDE #245 and the direction of account abstraction

vdWijden: a surprisingly rational decision made on ACD today

ACDE #245 at 21:00 (per Ethereal news #39): EIP-8141 frame transactions were set as the Hegotá headliner; 14 EIPs were DFI, including the account abstraction proposals EIP-7819 SETDELEGATE instruction and EIP-7851 code-controlled EOA delegation, EVM proposals such as EIP-8182 private ETH and ERC-20 transfers, and pricing proposals such as EIP-8358 net gas metering for account changes. Decisions on EIP-7979, EIP-8163, EIP-8372 and EIP-8304 were delayed, defaulting to DFI. vdWijden: a surprisingly rational decision made on ACD today, 22:17.

Magicians: partitioned binary trees and the future of code delegation

22:51 (vbuterin). PBT (EIP-8297) stores contract code in a separate tree indexed by codehash. EIP-7702 uses a 23-byte sequence to mean delegation; EIP-8141 creates more demand for delegation; SETCODEFROM (EIP-8298) lets a contract set its code to another address's code without redeploying it. After Hegotá there would be three ways for an account to use large code already onchain, and PBT's new code format is a chance for a clean fix.

Gas and account spec revisions

EIP-8037: cap the transaction gas limit at 2^32-1

(chfast, merged September 14). EIP-7825's cap applied to execution gas alone, leaving `tx.gas` bounded only by the block gas limit; the new `TX_MAX_TOTAL_GAS_LIMIT` of 4,294,967,295 leaves a code-deposit budget of roughly 2.8 MB, about 43 times the EIP-7954 contract size limit.

EIP-8130: optional checkpointed actors
