EIP-8141: Frame Transaction Nody just read EIP-8141 and wow. This one's big. 🧵 EIP-8141: Frame Transaction: co-authored by @VitalikButerin himself. The native off-ramp from ECDSA. For real this time. 👇 The core problem: Every Ethereum transaction today relies on a single ECDSA (secp256k1) signature. Quantum computers will eventually break ECDSA. EIP-7702 helped with UX. It didn't solve the crypto. What EIP-8141 does: Introduces a new transaction type (type 0x06) called a "Frame Transaction." Instead of one fixed ECDSA sig, accounts can define their own validation logic in EVM code. ECDSA, P256 (secp256r1), post-quantum schemes: your account, your rules. How it works: A Frame tx is a list of "frames," each with a mode: 🔵 VERIFY mode: validates the sender/payer (static, no state changes) 🟢 SENDER mode: executes on behalf of sender (after approval) ⚪ DEFAULT mode: executes as ENTRY_POINT A new APPROVE opcode (0xaa) is introduced. The VERIFY frame must call APPROVE or the whole tx is invalid. No APPROVE = no inclusion. Hard rule. What this actually unlocks: ✅ Post-quantum signature support natively ✅ Gas sponsorship without ERC-4337 overhead ✅ Pay gas in ERC-20 tokens (EOAs too, not just smart accounts) ✅ EOAs get AA benefits without migrating to a new account type ✅ Account deployment + verification in a single tx EOA support is a highlight: You don't need a smart contract wallet to benefit. EOAs can use Frame txs today and get sponsored gas, ERC-20 fee payment, and more. Migration to smart accounts becomes optional, not forced. Still a Draft (created Jan 29, 2026). But with Vitalik, lightclient, Felix Lange and Yoav Weiss on the author list, this one's worth watching closely.

EIP-7928: Block-Level Access Lists Nody found a spicy new Core EIP in Glamsterdam-SFI. 🔍 EIP-7928: Block-Level Access Lists (BALs) What it does👇 Before EIP-7928: - Clients execute every tx, touching disk/state as they go - Hard to parallelize execution because you don’t know in advance which accounts/slots will be accessed - State sync = re-execute everything or trust external proofs After EIP-7928 (if included): - Each block gets a “Block Access List” that records all accounts + storage slots touched, plus their post-execution values - Clients can do parallel disk reads, parallel tx validation, parallel state root computation - You can reconstruct state for a block without re-executing every transaction​ What this means: 1. More parallelism → faster nodes, more headroom for higher gas limits 2. Easier state sync → lighter, more resilient Ethereum 3. Cleaner data for research, tooling and alternative execution engines It’s still a Draft, but it’s already in the Glamsterdam-SFI inclusion stage.

2-year anniversary of Blobs Nody is blowing out candles. 🎂 It's been over 2 years since blobs landed on Ethereum with EIP-4844 (Dencun, March 2024). Here's what actually changed 👇 Before blobs: - L2s posted data via calldata: permanent, expensive - A typical L2 swap cost $0.50–$2.00 - L2s spent 15,000+ ETH/month just on data posting (Peak) After blobs: - Data posted as temporary blobs (~18 days), then pruned - Blob fees run their own EIP-1559 market: decoupled from L1 gas - A typical L2 swap now costs $0.01–$0.10 Up to 10x cheaper. Immediately. One EIP. Millions saved. Nody approves. #EIP4844 #Ethereum #Blobs #L2 #Dencun

Fun/If EIPs Were People Nody imagines the EIPs as characters at a party. 🎉 ERC-20: Shows up first, everyone already knows them. ERC-721: The artist in the corner, selling JPEGs. EIP-1559: Arguing about “fair” gas prices with everyone. EIP-4844: Quietly making the bar 10x cheaper. And then there’s your Draft EIP: Awkward, overexplaining, not sure if it belongs. Until one day… it’s Final. Every standard started as “just another PR.” Ship your EIP. #Ethereum #EIPs #ERCs #Nody

Hi @Amxx, The level of scrutiny is definitely very different. Our thread was just from a general perspective to simplify the difference between EIPs & ERCs for people new to the space, not to equate the depth of review. We will explain the process of both in more detail in upcoming threads.

@EIPsInsight It’s the same lifecycle but it is NOT the same process. Many ERC are finalized with almost no review. There are very low quality ERC that are final. There are unsafe ERC that are final. There are useless ERC that are final.

EIP vs ERC Nody gets asked this every single week. 🤖 "What's the difference between an EIP and an ERC?" Let's settle this once and for all. 🧵

The process is the same for both: Idea → Draft → Review → Last Call → Final Anyone can write one. Not everyone survives peer review. 😅 Track every EIP & ERC live 👇 eipsinsight.com #Ethereum #EIPs #ERCs #Web3 #EIPsInsight

Real examples: 🟢 EIP-1559 → changes how gas fees work (protocol-level) → EIP 🟢 EIP-4844 → introduces blob transactions → EIP 🔵 ERC-20 → standard interface for fungible tokens → ERC 🔵 ERC-721 → standard for NFTs → ERC Different scope. Same process. Same repo.

@CryptoEGG4 🫡

@EIPsInsight To many chains to track But I think it's because struggle to split the network stack into manageable areas of function.

.@solidity_lang secures billions of dollars & this conversation beautifully captured the responsibility and innovation behind it. I truly enjoyed talking to @_czepluch with @ECHInstitute. It felt like both a technical deep dive and a thoughtful reflection on where it is headed. We explored: - @argotorg: The new home for Solidity and related tools. - Past, present, and future: Solidity as the primary #smartcontrcat language of Ethereum. - What’s new in the latest and the upcoming release - The roadmap ahead and 2026 plans - #AI in Solidity development - benefits, risks & security considerations. If you’re building, auditing, or just curious about Ethereum’s app layer language, this episode is incredibly valuable 👇 🎥 youtube.com/watch?v=qEdUoZ… #EcosystemProjectDemo #Ethereum #Solidity #BuildInPublic #OpenSource
