EIP-8141's validation prefix added `SLOTNUM` to its banned opcodes, merged, for the same reason as `TIMESTAMP` and `NUMBER`: its value changes between a node admitting a transaction and its inclusion, so a prefix branching on it can pass simulation and revert onchain. EIP-8130 merged both its Keystore alignment PR and an audit reconciliation PR. Four calls took place: Encrypt The Mempool #8, L1-zkEVM breakout #07, PQTS breakout #13 and P2P networking #6.
nerolation submitted an EIP-8077 update that defines the source and nonce of frame transactions and clarifies its interaction with EIP-8141 and EIP-8250, so the P2P protocol that announces transactions with nonces can handle native AA transactions. EIP-8261 was turned from a consensus-enforced rule into an informational, CL-config-only per-fork gas limit schedule and merged. EIP-8363 tapered issuance burn was merged as a draft. Protocol Guild announced the ACD Fund, whose first allocation funds nixorokish's ACDE coordination.
Vitalik overlaid his 2023 roadmap onto the current Strawmap: overlap is high, but quantum safety moved up and some items were deprioritized. Base's chunter-cb submitted a major EIP-8130 rewrite: the account configuration contract becomes the Keystore contract, aligned with the base/eip-8130 canonical implementation, and the spec keeps only the consensus surface. Marchhill filled three gaps in EIP-7906 that would have made clients diverge, all merged the same day. kassandra showed kohaku-cli doing a stealth-address transfer and its announcement in a single 4337 UserOp.
Sunday brought no new EIPs or forum proposals. tcoratger introduced leanDA from ethresear: today's DAS relies on KZG commitments that are not post-quantum secure, and leanDA uses an "encode plus prove" post-quantum construction. hasufl weighed in on the issuance debate, arguing that charging passive holders to fund projects that invest in the ecosystem is good. gakonst described the constant attack pressure on crypto financial infrastructure.
A quiet Saturday. PRs that open the abstracts of EIP-8250 (keyed nonces) and EIP-8272 (recent roots) with their privacy benefit were merged, and another PR fills in code for EIP-8272's recent root contract so the path can be tested end to end. On ethresear someone posted a reference design for zero-knowledge-proof-gated settlement of x402 agent payments, and AndyGuzman argued that infrastructure such as RPCs, indexers and bundlers needs privacy to avoid regulatory pressure.
rakita submitted EIP-8374: when a call frame reverts or halts exceptionally, `accessed_addresses` and `accessed_storage_keys` are no longer rolled back, so anything warmed stays warm for the rest of the transaction and gas pricing matches what clients actually pay. Ben Adams submitted EIP-8375, a unified MEV burn for ePBS. Barnabé reviewed his quick slots presentation; the next step is working with Sourcify to find deployed contracts that rely on slot time. The official Ethereum account ran a Coin Center guest thread on privacy, and Vitalik commented on Signal registration without a phone number.
In the evening ACDC #184 collected Hegotá non-headliner proposals: Barnabé Monnot pitched quick slots, cutting slots from 12 to 10 seconds, alongside presentations on VOPS, block in blobs, RowDAS and the issuance burn. On account and gas details, an EIP-8141 PR fills in the initial warm address set for frame transactions, EIP-8297 now stores EIP-7702 delegation indicators in the account header (merged), and rakita opened discussion of EIP-8358 net gas metering for account changes.
