The Ethereum developer conference is scheduled to decide this Thursday whether EIP-8141 should be included in the Hegota upgrade.

PANews reported on March 24 that Ethereum core developer ladislaus.eth disclosed that the Ethereum core developer meeting plans to decide this Thursday whether to include EIP-8141 (Framework Transactions) in the Hegota upgrade. This proposal decouples accounts from the fixed signature scheme, providing a native migration path for post-quantum-safe signature schemes, and abstracts accounts as a first-class feature of the protocol, rather than implementing them through an entry point contract. Furthermore, Framework Transactions also supports programmable gas payments using ERC-20 tokens.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the proposal will also make privacy protocols more uniform, and its strength lies in extending the advantages of EVM's general programmability to the verification phase, where previously only hard-coded ECDSA signatures were supported.
