• ERC-8111 Bound Signatures as 64 byte ECDSA
• an EIP raising the point evaluation precompile gas cost merged
• EIP-7932 fixes an undefined SIZE
• ERC-8113 series accounting for incentivized vaults
• the ethlambda consensus client

wjmelements proposed ERC-8111 Bound Signatures: ECDSA signatures bound to a specific v fit in 64 bytes, an alternative to ERC-2098. marcindsobczak's EIP raising the gas cost of the EIP-4844 point evaluation precompile merged, since it is underpriced relative to its resources.

• Wormholes and the cost of plausible deniability
• EIP-7503's claimed anonymity set
• whether FHE deserves this much attention
• ERC-7573 renamed to a key decryption oracle
• a Messari report says Ethereum reinforced its central role

mmjahanara and Pierre argued that the plausible deniability of wormholes (EIP-7503) is incompatible with Ethereum's 160 bit addresses, and revisited EIP-7503's claimed anonymity set. miha-stopar asked whether FHE deserves its attention, given its promise of general composable computation over encrypted state without trusted hardware.

• A stealth address extension for ERC-8065 zero knowledge token wrappers
• a nonce bitmap for parallel transaction submission
• CMSP a primitive for non-custodial recurring payments
• the Hegotá headliner timeline
• Lido joins SEAL Safe Harbor

ZyraV21 and doublespending drafted an ERC-8065 extension that adds ECDH stealth addresses for private receiving to zero knowledge token wrappers. thnhnv proposed a nonce bitmap so one account can submit several transactions in parallel. nixorokish posted the Hegotá headliner timeline, with FOCIL among candidates.

• Dynamic casing checksums against address poisoning
• the debate over the EIP-7825 transaction cap
• unclear constraints in RISC V zkVMs
• ethlambda client work begins
• EIP-7886 stagnant

Mitsuhamizu proposed a wallet UI only defense against address poisoning: the receiver shares a short lived code and the sender's wallet derives a dynamic casing fingerprint from Keccak256(address plus code). fede_intern defended EIP-7825: it caps transaction size but makes ZK proving reliable.

• FOCIL readiness for Hegotá
• raising the per transaction gas limit with a new fee rule
• EIP-8081 updates the Hegotá portmanteau
• EIP-7773 updates Glamsterdam statuses
• Solidity 0.8.32 and 0.8.33

Thomas Thiery and Jihoon Song published FOCIL (EIP-7805) readiness for Hegotá; FOCIL is CFI for Hegotá and greatly improves inclusion guarantees. Helkomine proposed a new fee rule letting large transactions exceed the EIP-7825 cap. Solidity 0.8.32 and 0.8.33 shipped.

• In-protocol gas futures
• Falcon and ML-DSA precompiles added to the Glamsterdam meta EIP
• EIP-7619 marked DFI
• the Hegotá portmanteau chosen
• three milestones for the L1 zkEVM security sprint

Julian proposed in-protocol gas futures so users and businesses can lock in future fees and ease volatility. shemnon added the Falcon and ML-DSA post-quantum precompiles to the Glamsterdam meta EIP, merged. The EF cryptography team started an L1 zkEVM security sprint with three milestones tied to upcoming forks.

• ACDE #226 lists repricing EIPs as CFI targeting 60 MGas/s
• four memory and code EIPs declined
• the Hegotá portmanteau chosen
• Tempo Transactions as a new transaction type
• an EIP-7793 conditional transactions FAQ

ACDE #226: repricing EIPs targeting 60 MGas/s are CFI, including EIP-7904 general repricing, EIP-7976 higher calldata floor, EIP-7981 higher access list cost, EIP-8038 and EIP-2780; EIP-2926, 7686, 7923 and 7973 are declined. gakonst introduced Tempo Transactions, an EIP-2718 type built on AA lessons.
