Vitalik: EIP-8141 is expected to be implemented within a year, fully resolving the account abstraction issue

Ethereum's Vitalik introduced the EIP-8141 proposal on the X platform, aiming to address issues related to account abstraction (AA), with the core being "frame transactions." This mechanism supports various transaction scenarios, enhances security, and complements FOCIL to accelerate transaction execution. After years of research, the related technology is expected to be implemented through the Hegota fork within a year.

Abstract generation in progress

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Vitalik posted on X stating that Ethereum has been discussing account abstraction (AA) since early 2016. Now, EIP-8141 is a comprehensive proposal aimed at resolving all remaining issues related to AA. The core concept of this proposal is “frame transactions,” where a transaction contains N calls that can read each other’s call data and can authorize the sender and gas payer.

This mechanism supports various use cases: regular account transactions (such as multisignature, variable keys, quantum-resistant signatures) are completed by verifying and executing frame transactions; paying gas fees with non-ETH tokens can be achieved through a payment main contract without any intermediaries; for privacy protocols, verification of ZK-SNARKs or adding two-dimensional random numbers can be implemented via payment contracts.

In terms of security, on-chain validation only considers transactions valid when the frame returns an ACCEPT with a gas payment flag. Initially, the mempool will adopt conservative rules, with gradual expansion later. EIP-8141 is highly complementary to FOCIL; FOCIL ensures rapid inclusion of transactions, while AA ensures complex operations can be executed as first-class transactions. The proposal also discusses EOA compatibility, which is theoretically feasible. After more than a decade of research, these technologies are expected to be implemented within a year through the Hegota fork.
