New Ethereum Improvement Proposals as they are posted for discussion, with what each one would change and who proposed it.
A commit to EIP-8141 (frame transactions) changes the expiry verifier from the fixed address 0x8141 to 0x81413f0cF12e9b6a49B1D0439E081c577D57FfFf. The contract is now deployed as an ordinary contract through a pre-signed deployment transaction (sender 0xE514C70E18d981A9A72E83C30db9c13e05a50b97, gas 0x3d090) instead of being installed by clients at activation.
A commit to EIP-8163 (the EXTENSION 0xae opcode) clarifies that if 0xae is the last byte of the bytecode, executing it causes an exceptional halt, unlike the zero-padding of PUSHn, EIP-8024 opcodes, CODECOPY and EXTCODECOPY. It also adds a bare `0xae` row to the examples table, marked as an invalid (truncated) extension.
A commit to EIP-7906 removes the TBD gas constants and prices every TXTRACE call at WARM_STORAGE_READ_COST (100, per EIP-2929) for every param. The per-address and per-topic view and flags params (0x06–0x0C) now cost 100 instead of a flat TXTRACE_GAS_COST. Storage-slot and balance/codehash params still cost 2100 or 2600 when cold.
Streams that already watch this field. Follow one as it is — it costs nothing extra.
Changes in how ETH is staked: validator queues, staking protocols, restaking, distributed validators and the rules that affect stakers.
What the Ethereum Foundation announces: protocol priorities, grants and funding rounds, treasury policy and leadership changes.
Upgrades, launches and decentralization steps from the biggest rollups: Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Starknet, Scroll and Linea.
