Ethereum core developers will make a decision on Thursday on whether EIP-8141 will be included in the Hegota upgrade

Ladislaus.eth, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, disclosed that the Ethereum Core Developers Conference (AllCoreDevs) plans to make a decision on Thursday on whether to include EIP-8141 in the Hegota upgrade. The core of EIP-8141 is to decouple accounts from fixed signature schemes, providing a native path for migration to post-quantum security signature schemes. Ladislaus.eth pointed out that if the consensus layer (leanCL) already has post-quantum security and user transactions at the execution layer still rely on ECDSA signatures with quantum vulnerabilities, the overall migration is incomplete, and both layers need to have post-quantum readiness capabilities. In addition, EIP-8141 also supports account abstraction as a protocol-native feature and supports programmable Gas payments (including payments in ERC-20 tokens and transaction sponsorship). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin added that EIP-8141 would also give better native support for privacy protocols and compare it to EVM's universal programmability-a proposal that introduced programmability into the verification phase that previously only hardcoded ECDSA.
