Giulio2002 opened a forum discussion proposing EIP-8487, which would separate EVM execution accounting from transaction fee accounting. The proposal initializes two counters from tx.gasLimit, with execution credits following the legacy gas schedule and governing EVM-visible behavior such as GAS, gasleft(), call forwarding, stipends, and memory expansion.1

An anonymous contributor proposed running leanVM aggregation in shadow mode alongside BLS consensus, as a step toward post-quantum signature aggregation. Validators would produce both BLS and post-quantum hash-based signatures, while aggregators would produce both BLS aggregates and leanVM aggregate proofs, with BLS alone determining consensus.2

BTCS, a Nasdaq-listed Ethereum treasury firm, sold ether at a loss to keep its roughly $64 million Aave loan healthy. The company holds 46,676 ETH backing the loan, and its health factor is around 1.24 under Aave's model.3

Ethlabs is advocating for basing the planned 2027 Hegota upgrade around Frame Transactions, which would allow quantum-resistant signatures and native key swaps. The team withdrew its earlier faster-block proposal in favor of locking in post-quantum security ahead of the current 2028 target.4
