• Onchain storage of non-recoverable account keys for post-quantum migration
• ERC-8117 an anti poisoning compressed address display format
• a conditional tokens ERC
• SEAL 911's 2025
• chain analysis versus deanonymizing a privacy protocol

SirSpudlington noted most post-quantum signatures cannot recover public keys, so transactions must carry the key or store it in a contract, and proposed onchain key storage alongside EIP-7932. xinbenlv proposed ERC-8117, a compressed address display format against address poisoning. pcaversaccio summed up SEAL 911's 2025: 1.8k+ tickets, 125+ war rooms and about $95M saved.

• EIP-8115 batch priority fees at end of block
• EIP-8116 replace cumulative receipt fields
• EIP-7907 corrections
• the off cycle ACDE #227 agenda
• EIP-6466 clarifies the contract_address receipt field

etan-status split two EIPs from EIP-7799: EIP-8115 pays priority fees in a batch at the end of the block, and EIP-8116 replaces cumulative receipt fields. fselmo submitted corrections to EIP-7907 contract code metering. The agenda for the off cycle ACDE #227 on January 5 went up.

• Resolving ORIGIN opcode technical debt to enable sponsorship
• peter_szilagyi's composite post-quantum signatures and encryption
• a simplified Diamonds ERC merged
• the Helium Rust light client
• Vitalik on deep funding

Helkomine revived the withdrawn EIP-2711 idea: let others pay fees while keeping the original sender address, which even EIP-7702 does not solve. peter_szilagyi added composite ML-DSA-65 plus Ed25519 signatures and ML-KEM-768 plus X25519 encryption to his Rust crypto library. mudgen's simplified Diamonds ERC merged.

• Native AA proposal EIP-7701 moved to Stagnant
• EIP-7843 SLOTNUM moved to Stagnant
• EIP-5920 PAY and EIP-7954 flagged stagnant
• governed automation without custody
• the Concrete v2 spec

eth-bot marked native AA proposal EIP-7701 and EIP-7843 SLOTNUM as Stagnant, merged, and flagged EIP-5920 PAY and EIP-7954 the same day. recurmj proposed custody free automation that splits when to act from the action itself. Holiday activity was light.

• Seeking a formally verified 7702 multisig
• a survey of unknown unknowns in post-quantum algorithms
• CoNoir multiparty proofs
• about $7M drained from Trust Wallet
• EIP-7973 constant name fixes

fede_intern asked whether any multisig is formally verified for EIP-7702 and sought collaborators. zooko recommended Sophie Schmieg's survey of unknown unknowns in post-quantum algorithms, concluding stateless hash based signatures are safest. About $7M drained via the Trust Wallet browser extension drew discussion.

• About $7M stolen via Trust Wallet browser extension v2.68
• hot wallets are a security bug
• EIP-7979 clarifies motivation
• Vitalik worries about Europe's drift toward a sanitized internet

Trust Wallet browser extension v2.68 shipped malicious code and about $7M was stolen; the team told users to disable and upgrade and promised refunds, and Ethereal later reported a likely link to November's Sha1-Hulud 2 npm supply chain attack. pcaversaccio repeated that hot wallets are a security bug.

• ERC-8112 and ERC-8114 signed token and NFT transfers for smart contract wallets
• EIP-7928 clarifies access recording when a 7702 authorization fails
• EIP-8032 uses S_pre in the SSTORE gas formula
• EIP-7377 clarifies storage tuple processing
• how not to use privacy tools

wenzhenxiang proposed ERC-8112 and ERC-8114, offchain signed token and NFT transfer flows for smart contract wallets that any relayer can submit, with an EIP-712 schema and nonce accounting. nerolation clarified in EIP-7928 BAL how a failed 7702 authorization is handled when the authority account was not yet accessed, submitted and merged.
