Ethereum Improvement Proposal for frame transactions: ordered validation and action steps that give the protocol native account abstraction. Slated for Hegota.
Starknet's builders are weighing a standalone L1 aimed at a quantum-resistant network in 2027, Bankless reported. StarkWare's June 30 roadmap had no L1 option, and its third phase depends on Ethereum.
Reality
Ethereum's draft EIP-7906 lets transactions reject bad trade results, but only a floor set by someone other than the trade's builder protects users. What the proposal is worth to a trader depends on whether wallets and account providers write their own limits from prices the app does not control.
Reality
Ethereum Foundation says EIP-7906, a check that could have reverted the $1.5 billion Bybit theft, will not ship before 2027. Its own post concedes the check cannot stop the stolen-key and social-engineering attacks behind most of 2026's losses.
Reality
Ethereum's draft EIP-7906 would let a transaction check its own results with three new opcodes and revert if they break rules the user set in advance. Aimed at the 2027 Hegotá upgrade, it puts enforcement in the protocol and leaves rule-writing to users and the tools built on top.
Reality
Talks to reconcile Base's EIP-8130 with Ethereum's EIP-8141 broke down last week. Both chains will now ship their own native smart accounts. Derek Chiang, who co-authored Ethereum's proposal, says wallets carry the burden.
Reality
The Flashblocks cadence and the canonical block time are different numbers, and Base's cheaper-AA figure is measured on one operation on a network built to be thrown away. ERC-8403 moves account recovery into public state.
Reality
A contributor's draft would make the validator deposit contract variable length and add a mode to end BLS signatures permanently. It is unfinished, unnumbered, and aimed at a 2029 target that may move.
