- Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) shifts the transaction authentication surface area of Ethereum from a single fixed signature scheme into programmable validation frames.
- The co-founder of Ethereum commented in the Frame Transactions headliner thread, deliberately binding the Frame design to the current ERC-4337 paymaster+mempool rule.
The core developers of Ethereum have kept “Frame Transactions” on the shortlist of Hegota headliner candidates, and Vitalik Buterin publicly connected in the proposal thread the next day and stated that the design can acquire ERC-4337-style mempool acceptance rules through paymasters.
At the time of writing, the price of ETH was hovering around $2249.40, 2.78% down in the past 24 hours over spot venues, while the Hegota “headliner” debate spread via dev channels. The receipt is in Ethereum/EIPs PR #11202 and was merged on Jan 29, adding EIP-8141 (Frame Transaction) as a fresh new proposal.
The Hegota framing is significant, as it places Frame Transactions as a post-quantum migration path that also promotes account abstraction primitives like gas sponsorship and contract-based testimony rather than promoting ECDSA-only signing.
Another Jan 29 AllCoreDevs Executive agenda added Frame Transactions and EIP-8105 Universal Enshrined Encrypted Mempool as formal Hegota had headliner presentations, having some extra slots for SSZ implementation blocks with a follow-on session for FOCIL.
The Comment of The Co-Founder
The co-founder of Ethereum commented in the Frame Transactions headliner thread, deliberately binding the Frame design to the current ERC-4337 paymaster+mempool rule mental model that infrastructure teams so far run in production.
Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) shifts the transaction authentication surface area of Ethereum from a single fixed signature scheme into programmable validation frames; in consequence, the trade for desks is not “wallet UX”.
The trade is both mempool policy and flow toxicity; once paymasters describe rules and builders decide inclusion economics, you have new ways of order flow sectionalisation that interact directly with MEV supply chains.
If Hegota chooses Frame as headliner in this year’s H2 planning, creator behaviour shifts around sponsored transactions, wallet infra rewrites that change retail routing, and a repricing of “protocol-level MEV protection” narratives so far dealing with EIP-8105 encrypted mempool bids for the same update slot.
