  • ZK API usage credits for private LLM calls
  • ERC-8004 agent identity live on mainnet
  • EIP-8141 APPROVE relaxation merged
  • multi KZG point evaluation precompile EIP merged
  • Invariant Layout Guard Opcode EIP-8158

dcrapis and VitalikButerin published ZK API usage credits, letting users pay for high frequency services such as LLMs without revealing identity or sending a transaction per request. The ERC-8004 agent identity, reputation and verification standard went live on Ethereum mainnet. lightclient's PR relaxing EIP-8141's APPROVE rule merged.

  • EIP-8037 adds quantization and a state gas reservoir model
  • EIP-8141 relaxes the top level APPROVE rule
  • the case for Quick Slots in Hegotá
  • custom validator sweep threshold EIP merged
  • EIP-8142 rebased on 7732

misilva73's EIP-8037 update merged, adding a quantization scheme for the per byte state cost and replacing revert based TX_MAX_GAS_LIMIT enforcement with a reservoir model. lightclient submitted a change relaxing EIP-8141's rule that APPROVE must come from the top level frame, easing adoption by existing smart accounts. CarlBeek made the case on Magicians for Quick Slots in Hegotá.

  • Private key deactivation aware ecRecover (EIP-8151)
  • EIP-8037 quantization and reservoir model
  • EIP-7904 narrowed to a compute gas increase
  • a minimum base fee for execution gas
  • ACDT #69

colinlyguo submitted a private key deactivation aware ecRecover EIP (EIP-8151): immutable ERC-2612 permit contracts such as DAI rely on ecRecover, so a deactivated EOA key could still be used through old signatures. misilva73 submitted EIP-8037 quantization and a reservoir model, and EIP-7904, narrowed to raising gas for 13 slow compute operations, merged. ACDT #69 reported bal-devnet-2 live, with final repricing numbers expected at the end of March.

  • ERC-7683 redesigned around programmable fillers
  • L1 lacks a stable proving API
  • EIP-8142 drops blob_gas_used changes
  • ERC-7730 encryption specs
  • cell level deltas for data column broadcast EIP-8136

frangio published an ERC-7683 redesign, built by Across, Uniswap, LI.FI and OpenZeppelin to fix problems in the cross chain intent draft. protolambda argued slow L2 interop and over caution about Stage 2 stem from L1 lacking a stable proving API. kevaundray submitted removing blob_gas_used changes from EIP-8142.

  • EIP-8141 frame transactions skip the EIP-3607 check
  • authorization data counted in the EIP-7623 calldata floor
  • Block-in-Blobs EIP merged
  • BPO1 meta EIP merged
  • ZK agent payment verification ERC-8150

Thegaram submitted skipping the EIP-3607 check for EIP-8141 frame transactions. nerolation's EIP adding authorization data to the EIP-7623 floor merged, so EIP-7702 authorization lists now count toward the calldata floor. kevaundray's Block-in-Blobs EIP merged. The EF launched the Trillion Dollar Security dashboard. jqhc submitted a ZK agent payment verification ERC where agents must prove transactions match the user's signed intent before funds move.

  • Vitalik proposes hyper-scaling state through new forms of state
  • the LUCID encrypted mempool Hegotá headliner
  • ACDC #174 sees FOCIL as the likely consensus headliner
  • EIP-7976 raises the calldata floor to 64/64
  • the ERC-8004 AI agent standard

VitalikButerin proposed hyper-scaling state by creating new forms of state. jflo and coauthors proposed the LUCID encrypted mempool as a Hegotá headliner: FOCIL cannot protect MEV exposed transactions, and LUCID fills that gap. ACDC #174 saw FOCIL as the likely consensus headliner, to be chosen at the next ACDC. nerolation submitted raising the EIP-7976 calldata floor to 64/64.
