• EIP-8141 disables the EIP-3607 check for frame transactions
• Cryptographically Agile Transactions EIP merged
• EIP-8130 create entry replay guards
• EIP-8037 fixes from bal-devnet-6
• EIP-8254 caps deposit requests per block

Two long running PRs merged: EIP-8141 disabling the EIP-3607 check for frame transactions, and shemnon's Cryptographically Agile Transactions (CATX) EIP, which separates the transaction body from signatures to ease post-quantum migration. pochenai tightened EIP-8130 create entry validation, and misilva73 fixed EIP-8037 issues surfaced by bal-devnet-6. moodysalem proposed ERC-20 approvals that expire automatically.

• EIP-8250 Keyed Nonces for Frame Transactions announced
• Vitalik calls keyed nonces a first foray into a new state scaling strategy
• native proof verification proposal
• EL reorg state retention window EIP
• ERC-7943 goes Final

soispoke announced EIP-8250 (Keyed Nonces for Frame Transactions), authored by soispoke, nero_eth, lightclient and Vitalik. Vitalik said keyed nonces are not only in protocol support for privacy solutions but possibly a first step toward a new state scaling strategy. donnoh proposed native proof verification, opening the CL proof verification stack to all rollups and ZK apps. nerolation submitted an EL reorg state retention window EIP.

• keyed nonces for frame transactions EIP
• frame transactions plus 2D nonces let private withdrawals skip relayers
• EIP-8037 fixed CPSB merged
• EIP-8130 replay fix merged
• EIP-7708 records Soldøgn Interop decisions

soispoke submitted an EIP for keyed nonces in frame transactions, letting one EIP-8141 sender run several independent nonce sequences in parallel for trustless privacy protocols. nero_eth noted that with frame transactions and 2D nonces, private withdrawals can pay fees from the withdrawal itself with no third party relayer. The EIP-8037 fixed CPSB change and the EIP-8130 payer signature replay fix both merged.

• EIP-8247 Ancestor-Indexed BALs
• state management with fixed storage bonds and dynamic refunds
• the airgap problem in DeFi
• TEE as verifier for BitVM style bridges
• Multi-VM Pointer-Token Pattern

A Sunday with no relevant posts from tracked accounts on X. nerolation submitted EIP-8247 (Ancestor-Indexed BALs), using cross block references so block level access lists do not repeat addresses and storage keys. An ethresear.ch post proposed fixed ETH storage bonds plus dynamic refunds to curb state growth.

• EIP-8130 prevents cross sender payer signature replay
• gas overflow for multidimensional fee markets
• Keyed Transfer With Authorization with ERC-4337 style nonces
• generic relayer architecture moves to ERCs
• should computed beacon state aggregates be exposed as fields

A Saturday. pochenai submitted an EIP-8130 fix so two EOAs with identical transaction data cannot reuse one payer signature and drain the payer's gas deposit. ethresear.ch analyzed "universal overflow" for EIP-7999, keeping the legacy scalar gas retention pattern around CALL in a multidimensional fee market. BrianBland proposed an ERC-20 transfer authorization scheme using 2D nonces.

• EIP-8246 removes the SELFDESTRUCT burn
• batching attestations at source
• EIP-7906 fixes result ordering
• which cryptography quantum computers will break
• Ethstaker Deposit CLI v1.3.0

chfast submitted EIP-8246, removing the corner case left after EIP-6780 where SELFDESTRUCT can still burn ETH. raulk submitted a new EIP for batching attestations at source. ethStaker released Deposit CLI v1.3.0 with partial deposits and Hoodi testnet support.

April 30, 2026

• EIP-8141 listed as CFI in the Hegotá meta EIP
• 2D nonces proposed for EIP-8141
• EIP-8141 mempool factory relaxation merged
• generic relayer architecture for smart accounts
• EIP-2780 adds the missing CREATE transfer log cost

An EIP-8081 update merged, formally listing EIP-8141 as CFI for Hegotá and EIP-7716 and EIP-8205 as PFI. nerolation submitted a change adding 2D nonces to EIP-8141, and derekchiang's mempool factory relaxation merged. seansing proposed a generic relayer architecture for smart accounts with a relayer_* RPC namespace.
