  • bunker mode
  • hash-hidden pubkey addresses
  • SETCODEFROM dangling bytecode
  • 23 Glamsterdam EIPs in Last Call
  • EIP-8250 nonce_type

Justin Drake called on the industry to calmly start planning for "bunker mode", recommending an orderly migration of assets to fresh addresses whose public keys are still hidden behind a hash, which set off a wide debate. nero_eth listed the 23 Glamsterdam EIPs now in Last Call, and Sepolia gas usage climbed to 83M. On ethresear.ch, CPerezz examined the orphaned bytecode that SETCODEFROM leaves behind.

  • Glamsterdam live on Sepolia
  • EIP-8298 mempool rules
  • EIP-7906 pricing
  • frame expiry verifier contract
  • EIP-7708

Glamsterdam activated and finalized on Sepolia, the first time ePBS and block-level access lists ran on a public testnet, and nero_eth called it Ethereum's biggest throughput increase since launch. Account and transaction specs kept moving: EIP-8298 (SETCODEFROM) gained public mempool rules, EIP-7906's TXTRACE/TXDIFF views are priced at warm read cost, and EIP-8141 deploys the frame expiry verifier as a standard contract.

  • native transaction assertions EIP-7906
  • frame transactions and EIP-8250
  • native rollup devnet
  • encrypted mempool accountability
  • ML-DSA signing on a phone

The EF's Trillion Dollar Security initiative published a post proposing native transaction assertions to enforce a transaction's final outcome, with EIP-7906 as one candidate design. Frame transactions kept growing: EIP-8141 adds a set-delegation frame for codeless senders, and EIP-8250 lets a transaction scope its nonce keys to the payer. L2BEAT's Luca Donno ran a half-mocked native rollup on a devnet based on frames-devnet-0.

  • zkAPI
  • EIP-8288 private transfers
  • minimal stealth address standard
  • EIP-7928 BAL
  • Ethereal news #41

The EF and the Open Anonymity Project launched zkAPI, which uses zero-knowledge proofs to pay for metered APIs anonymously. soispoke showed private, post-quantum transfers under EIP-8288, and Kassandra argued that stealth addresses should be a minimal receiving standard every wallet can adopt. On the spec side, the work was mostly refining Glamsterdam's BAL (EIP-7928) and SETCODEFROM (EIP-8298), a Hegotá candidate.

  • ACDC #188
  • quick slots (EIP-8198) CFI
  • EIP-8365 CFI
  • FOCIL devnet-0 live
  • EIP-8141 bounds cost with max_fee

ACDC #188 moved quick slots (EIP-8198) and disallowing new 0x00 validators (EIP-8365) to CFI for Hegotá, withdrew EIP-8363 and EIP-8333, and declined EIP-8379. FOCIL devnet-0 went live. On accounts, lightclient tried introducing `max_fee` to the frame object instead of per-dimension resource limits, adapted from EIP-7999. zk.money launched a private, self-custodial, open source wallet on Aztec, and the EF congratulated it publicly.
