The Ethereum core developer meeting will decide this Thursday whether to include the EIP-8141 proposal, which aims to decouple accounts from signature schemes to support post-quantum secure signatures and account abstraction, enhancing protocol programmability and privacy support.

ChainCatcher news reveals that Ethereum Foundation researcher ladislaus.eth disclosed that the Ethereum core developer meeting (AllCoreDevs) plans to decide this Thursday 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 secure signature schemes. ladislaus.eth pointed out that if the consensus layer (leanCL) is already post-quantum secure, but user transactions on the execution layer still rely on ECDSA signatures with quantum vulnerabilities, then the overall migration is not complete; both layers need to be post-quantum ready.

In addition, EIP-8141 will support account abstraction as a native feature of the protocol, and will allow for programmable gas payments (including payments with ERC-20 tokens and transaction sponsorship). Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin added that EIP-8141 will also provide better native support for privacy protocols, drawing a comparison to the general programmability of the EVM—this proposal brings programmability to a verification stage that previously only hardcoded ECDSA.
