• EIP-7702 authorization gas accounting in EIP-8037
• EIP-8130 authenticateActor returns policy
• ERC-8168 payer services for 8130
• EIP-8295 state tiering by periods
• ERC-8290 merged

rjl493456442 improved EIP-7702 authorization gas accounting in EIP-8037 and it was merged, charging state gas by the net state change an authorization causes. chunter-cb submitted an EIP-8130 change so that `authenticateActor` returns scope, policy type and policy target in one call, and opened a thread for ERC-8168 (payer services for 8130). weiihann submitted two state tiering designs (EIP-8295, EIP-8296) that make writes to long inactive state more expensive. The shielded note teleportation ERC-8290 was merged.

• EIP-8130 verifier renamed authenticator
• new Hegotá PFIs (EIP-7851
• EIP-8151 and others)
• 4337 relaying of Railgun withdrawals
• STRK20 live

nixorokish added EIP-7851 (code controlled EOA delegation), EIP-8151 (ECDSA authority deactivation aware ecRecover), EIP-8131, EIP-7979 and others proposed at ACDE #238 to the Hegotá PFI list, and it was merged. EIP-8130 renamed verifier to authenticator and merged a round of clarifications. kassandraETH said the team is internally testing ERC-4337 relaying of Railgun withdrawals on mainnet. Starknet's STRK20 private assets went live.

June 8, 2026

• EIP-7702 authorization overcharges in EIP-8037
• post-quantum attestation aggregators
• trustless payments and relays
• hot-cold storage separation
• Base Azul multiproofs

lu-pinto submitted an EIP-8037 change pointing out that the worst-case gas precharged for EIP-7702 authorizations, once corrected, only goes to the state gas pool or the refund counter and can no longer be used for compute, which is not an efficient allocation. A clarification that CALLCODE cannot create accounts in EIP-8037 was merged. anshalshukla submitted an EIP for post-quantum attestation aggregators. ethresear.ch discussed how the in-protocol ePBS payment channel affects relays, and the hot-cold storage separation enabled by EIP-8188. In the evening ACDT #82 switched EIP-7997 to the Arachnid factory.

June 7, 2026

• EIP-8289 multi-block access list warming
• Zcash Ironwood formal verification
• execution receipts for AI agents

A quiet Sunday. nerolation submitted EIP-8289, which keeps the EIP-2929 access list warm across 256 blocks instead of resetting it per transaction, for an estimated median gas saving of about 14% per block at a cost of about 10 MB of node state. The Zcash bug led to Ironwood, a formal verification effort for the Orchard payment circuit.

June 6, 2026

• EIP-8288 frame type for PQ sig and STARK aggregation
• EIP-8272 recent roots for frame transactions
• ERC-7562 to Review
• EIP-2542 superseded by EIP-8141
• EIP-8268 empty storage root encoding

Vitalik submitted EIP-8288, a new frame type that lets a transaction declare post-quantum signatures and STARKs as "dependencies" that the mempool and builder replace with one recursive STARK, supporting signatures and privacy proofs cheaply in a post-quantum world. Recent root references for frame transactions (EIP-8272) were merged as a Draft. forshtat cleaned up older AA related standards: ERC-7562 (the ERC-4337 validation rules) was submitted for Review, and EIP-2542 was submitted for withdrawal as superseded by EIP-8141.

June 5, 2026

• Zcash Orchard bug
• privacy protocols and ZK auditability
• EIP-8037 state gas up 5 to 8x
• EIP-8130 finalize pass
• ERC-8290 shielded note teleportation

A bug surfaced in Zcash's Orchard pool, and the Ethereum community discussed how hard bugs are to detect in privacy systems; ameensol suggested users exit the Orchard pool to test whether it was exploited. lightclient noted that EIP-8037 is scheduled for Glamsterdam and will raise the gas cost of creating accounts and writing new storage slots by 5 to 8x, and asked which protocols might be affected. EIP-8130 got a finalize pass and fixes. ERC-8290 proposes moving shielded notes directly between UTXO privacy protocols.

June 4, 2026

• EIP-8130 actor rename
• actor call policies and expiry
• ERC-8286 modular accounts for frame transactions
• privacy-native fungible tokens
• EIP-8282 builder execution requests

chunter-cb submitted and merged three EIP-8130 changes: owner is renamed to actor, the verification interface becomes verifyActor, and per-actor call policies and expiry are added. ERC-8286 was submitted, connecting ERC-7579 modular accounts to the EIP-8141 frame transaction validation flow. The privacy-native fungible token standard (8287) was posted on both ethresear.ch and Magicians. In the evening, ACDE #238 discussed Hegotá non-headliner candidates, including EIP-7851 and EIP-8151 for migrating EOAs to smart accounts.
