Ethereum devs to decide on quantum resistance EIP for Hegota upgrade

Ethereum developers are scheduled to decide on March 26 whether to include EIP-8141, a proposal to separate account and signature methods, in the upcoming Hegota upgrade, Ethereum Foundation researcher ladislaus.eth said on X. The proposal, known as a Frame Transaction, is described as an essential step toward transitioning to a quantum-secure system. It aims to resolve quantum security vulnerabilities on the execution layer, thereby strengthening the network's overall resistance. The Hegota upgrade, planned for the second half of this year, focuses on improving censorship resistance, data efficiency, and building quantum resistance. However, technical discussions are ongoing due to concerns that separating the signature method could introduce unexpected bugs.
