She's talking about me! 😎
Somebody sent me this clip. It was such an interesting panel on AI and Governance that I think we should do one more series of it!View quoted post on X

EIP-8077 just moved into Draft, and it’s about improving how Ethereum nodes hear about new transactions.
🫵 If you run nodes, work on clients, or build infra that depends on mempool behavior, this matters.
Today, when a transaction enters the mempool, nodes are only told a few things: hash, type, size.
No sender.
No nonce.
So nodes often have to guess what to fetch next, hit nonce gaps, or pull transactions they can’t use yet.
It’s inefficient.
EIP-8077 proposes adding sender address + nonce to transaction announcements.
That gives nodes more context before fetching the full transaction.
The upside is pretty clear:
– smarter, more selective fetching
– fewer wasted requests
– a more consistent mempool as throughput increases
But this is where I pause. ⏸️
Announcements get heavier, and the extra data is still untrusted until the transaction is fetched and validated.

EIP-8072 entered Draft on ~November 5, 2025 and this one is quietly about something every Ethereum user has felt: “Did my transaction go through… or not?”View quoted post on X
If you build dApps, wallets, or anything user-facing on Ethereum, this is worth your attention. 👇
Right now, most apps check transaction inclusion by polling. Basically:
“Hi. Are we there yet?” 🤔
“No.” 😒
“Now?” 🤠
“Still no.” 😖
It’s inefficient, slow, and wastes node + client resources. And users feel it as lag, spinners, and uncertainty.
EIP-8072 proposes a cleaner approach: a new eth_subscribe method that lets clients receive a real-time notification when a transaction is actually included in a block.
For developers, this is a big quality-of-life improvement.
You get a non-blocking, event-driven way to confirm transactions, using infrastructure Ethereum clients already support.
This doesn’t change consensus or execution rules.
It’s still early (Draft), so feedback really matters here.

These are the kinds of changes that quietly make Ethereum feel better to use
but only if the community shows up early enough to shape them.
