Didn't see CT celebrate EF excluding ETH inflation reduction EIP from its Hegotá recommendations*
The EIP-8363 got UNANIMOUS block: 'declined for inclusion' with the score of '0 (4)' meaning zero votes across four submitted grades.
The lowest tier.
EF says this isn't a judgment on whether the proposal is good. Changing issuance affects holders, stakers and Ethereum's security budget, so it wants a wider ecosystem discussion.
Instead, Hegotá's selected changes would add:
- Paying fees in USDC. An app charges you USDC and covers the network's gas fee in ETH.
Good for usability but I believe friction of HAVING to hold ETH for gas adds significant buy pressure for ETH. Like Robinhood users must do.
- Approve + swap in one transaction. If the swap fails, the approval rolls back too. Amazing one!
- Harder censorship through FOCIL. Validators can require eligible txs to be included, limiting block builders' ability to keep users out.
Good for Corpo-slop L2s that would try to censor users.
- A path to quantum-resistant account signatures. Preparation for switching cryptography instead of making all of Ethereum quantum-safe in one upgrade.
ETA for Q2 2027, after Glamsterdam but no hard date.
*Recommendation because its EF position but not final fork list.(Ignas)
