  • EIP-8288 recursive STARK mempool
  • frame type for PQ signature and STARK aggregation
  • Glamsterdam fee market simulation
  • Geth Hegotá tier list
  • Kohaku CLI

Vitalik wrote a note on the recursive STARK mempool (EIP-8288), which he hopes gets into I*, the fork after Hegotá, as the next step after frame transactions; his EIP for a frame type for PQ signature and STARK aggregation was merged as a draft the same day. misilva73 simulated the first day of the gas limit rising from 60M to 200M: fees spike and then fall, and 9 of 12 demand scenarios end with median utilization near the target.

  • MATCHA mempool capacity
  • keyed nonces and Bloom filters
  • Trezor supports ERC-7730
  • quick slots graded B tier
  • Frame Breakout #4

soispoke published MATCHA. With frame transactions and keyed nonces, one sender may have several pending transactions, which creates a DoS risk; MATCHA lets a sender earn extra "width" only from the gas it actually used in finalized blocks. Gottfried Herold suggested EIP-8250 use the first byte of the nonce key to tell one-shot nonces from counter nonces, so Bloom filters can later reduce storage for stateless nodes. Trezor began supporting ERC-7730 clear signing.

  • EF Protocol Hegotá tier list
  • FOCIL and frame transactions in S tier
  • EIP-8272 verification gas counted toward the cap
  • EIP-8037 pre-execution state gas
  • Hegotá repricing

The EF Protocol cluster published its Hegotá tier list, grading all 62 proposed EIPs in one view: FOCIL and frame transactions (EIP-8141) are S tier, must ship, and keyed nonces, recent roots and others are A tier. EIP-8272 merged a change counting the recent root verifier frame's execution gas toward `MAX_VERIFY_GAS`. EIP-8037 fixed top-level rollbacks wrongly refunding pre-execution state gas. misilva73 posted an overview of Hegotá's 10+ repricing EIPs.

  • EIP-8141 design breakthrough
  • MAX_VERIFY_GAS as a shared mempool floor
  • transaction formats
  • Poseidon
  • Egyptian God Protocols

Vitalik recommended reading about the last few months of progress on frame transactions (EIP-8141) and the updated EIP, saying a lot of important progress had been happening quietly; Derek Chiang said the authors recently achieved a design breakthrough, realizing things they thought had to go into the transaction envelope did not. The same day, a PR proposed defining `MAX_VERIFY_GAS` as a shared mempool floor rather than a per-node ceiling.

  • faster finality
  • decoupled consensus
  • EIP-8411 fast execution payload broadcast
  • MODEXP formal verification
  • agent task tender ERC

A quiet Saturday. benjaminion showed a proof of concept of decoupled consensus that cut time to finality by about 4x on a network a decent fraction of mainnet's size. kamilsa submitted a new EIP that propagates execution payloads in chunks. A crowdsourcing effort started by ladislaus0x produced an optimized and formally verified EVM implementation of MODEXP within a day.

  • ethrex privacy roadmap testnet
  • EIP-8037 cross-frame state gas fixes
  • EIP-8130 renamed Keystore Accounts
  • AI agent wallet ERCs
  • quick slots

ethrex opened a public testnet built on Glamsterdam that runs EIP-8141, EIP-8250, EIP-8272, FOCIL and VOPS together, the EIPs behind the privacy roadmap. EIP-8037 merged two cross-frame fixes: rollbacks restore state gas relative to the frame's starting point, and merging child frames returns state gas to `gas_left`. EIP-8130 was renamed Keystore Accounts. Flashbots came out in support of quick slots for Hegotá.

  • EIP-8141 validation budget for privacy apps
  • MAX_VERIFY_GAS
  • ERC-8403 account authority lifecycle
  • EIP-8130 checkpointed keystore
  • ACDC #186

A benchmark on ethresear showed that if privacy apps like Tornado Cash and RAILGUN want to use frame transactions to drop offchain relayers, their minimum validation cost is 211,828 gas, above the public mempool's 100k `MAX_VERIFY_GAS`; the author suggests raising it to at least 250k. On accounts, ERC-8403 proposes a standard for adding, rotating and revoking authorities on native AA accounts, and EIP-8130 adds an optional checkpointed keystore. In the evening, ACDC #186 confirmed October 6 as the Sepolia target.
