| Apr 8 | #11251 | BonyHanter83 | Add EIP-1559 to requires header |
| Apr 14 | #11521 | benaadams | Tighten spec (mode/flags split, FRAMEPARAM, MAX_FRAMES=64, per-frame cost, default code hardening) |
| Apr 16 | #11534 | lightclient | Add value field to frame (SENDER-only, TXPARAM(0x08), FRAMEPARAM(0x08)) |
| Apr 22 | #11544 | derekchiang | Mix in FRAME_TX_TYPE to sighash (EIP-2718 cross-type replay fix) |
| Apr 28 | #11575 | lightclient | Allow payer to approve before sender (auto-merged in error; reverted by #11579 same window, reopened as draft #11580) |
| Apr 29 | #11579 | lightclient | Revert #11575 |
| Apr 29 | #11577 | lightclient | Remove RLP call batch from default account (default-code SENDER mode now reverts) |
| Apr 30 | #11567 | derekchiang | Relax mempool deploy-frame rule (drops EIP-7997 from requires; any stateless factory qualifies; CREATE/SETDELEGATE join CREATE2 in deploy-frame carve-out) |
| Apr 30 | #11537 | dionysuzx | Add EIP-8141 to CFI in EIP-8081 Hegotá meta EIP (governance) |
| May 5 | #11272 | Thegaram | Disable EIP-3607 origination check for frame transactions (adds 3607 to requires with explicit carve-out) |
| May 11 | #11598 | soispoke, nerolation, lightclient, vbuterin | Add EIP-8250: Keyed Nonces for Frame Transactions (standalone EIP layering (nonce_key, nonce_seq) and a NONCE_MANAGER system contract on EIP-8141; first EIP whose requires header includes EIP-8141) |
| May 11 | #11621 | lightclient | Frames cleanup (spec coherence refactor: skipped-batch receipt status, FRAMEPARAM operand order, P256 dropped from default code, default code accepts SENDER/DEFAULT, adds 7623+7702 to requires) |
| May 12 | #11652 | derekchiang | Extend atomic batching from SENDER-only to any frame mode; restrictive mempool tier separately forbids the flag inside the validation prefix |
| May 14 | #11662 | nerolation | Add EXPIRY_VERIFIER frame: canonical contract at address(0x8141) whose runtime enforces an 8-byte unix-seconds deadline; mempool drops expired txs; TIMESTAMP carve-out for canonical runtime |
| May 22 | #11481 | lightclient | Add signatures list to outer tx (opened Apr 2); new signatures outer-envelope field carrying signature + algorithm + signer metadata, verified before frame execution; default code reads from this list. Forward-compat hook for PQ signature aggregation |
| May 22 | #11692 | nerolation | Add EIP-8266: Expiring Nonces for Frame Transactions (sibling EIP whose requires includes EIP-8141 and EIP-8250). Second EIP in the compose-by-requires AA stack |
| Jun 1 | #11749 | soispoke | Update EIP-8250: Add support for nonce key sets (generalizes single keyed nonce to a bounded key set; +64/-40). First post-merge revision to any sibling EIP |
| Jun 5 | #11726 | soispoke, vbuterin, nerolation | Add EIP-8272: Recent Roots for Frame Transactions (sibling EIP, +394 lines). Third compose-by-requires sibling requiring both EIP-7843 and EIP-8141. New recent_root_references outer-envelope field, RECENT_ROOT_ADDRESS system contract with 8192-slot ring, new opcode RECENTROOTREFLOAD (0xB4) |

|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 2 | #11482 | derekchiang | Allow precompiles for VERIFY frames (all reviewers approved) |
| Apr 22 | #11555 | derekchiang | Add support for guarantors (payer covers gas even if sender validation fails) |
| Apr 29 | #11580 | lightclient | Allow payer to approve before sender (draft; alternative to #11555 guarantors) |
| May 16 | #11681 | pedrouid | Extend EIP-8141 with guarantors, keyed nonces, and signer binding via a signer envelope field and an AUTH_MANAGER system contract; +810/-74 lines. Successor to closed #11643 after PR #11662 settled the expiry design |
| Jun 5 | #11772 | vbuterin, Thomas Coratger | Add EIP-8288 (proposed): Frame type for PQ sig and STARK aggregation (eip-9999.md placeholder, +508 lines). Fourth compose-by-requires sibling EIP. New DEP_VERIFY_FRAME_MODE = 3 frame mode declaring (scheme, data_hash, verification_key) dependencies; block-level recursive_stark header field aggregates them into one recursive STARK proof.

| Thomas Coratger | (not on GitHub directly in PR author list) | Co-author with vbuterin of EIP-8288 (PR #11772, opened Jun 5): Frame type for PQ sig and STARK aggregation. Lean Ethereum tooling contributor |
