Account Abstraction
Live on-chain usage, the proposal family, native-AA work, and related calls
Frames (native account abstraction)
EIP-8141 is the leading native account-abstraction design (Frames): unlike EIP-7702 and ERC-4337, it builds AA directly into the protocol. It is scheduled for inclusion as the Hegota headliner and is being hardened in the Native AA breakouts, with a live spec-test devnet (frames-devnet) and reference clients. It is not live on a public network yet, but the frames-devnet is actively producing frame transactions. Switch to Devnet activity for live metrics, or stay on Proposal & status for the proposal, releases, and calls shaping it.

Devnet & spec-test releases
frames-devnet-0 · Geth / ethrex / Nethermind passing- Mainline sync, EIP-8141 spec unchanged; rebased onto forks/amsterdam (Glamsterdam spec).
- EIP-8037: successful child merge repays spilled state gas from the reservoir (fixes gas_left after cross-frame refunds).
- EIP-7778: block gas accounting and admission coverage across all transaction types.
- ~5.2k frame-transaction variants of the convertible legacy state tests (_frame_tx fixtures).
- EIP-8141: block execution gas accounted before refunds per EIP-7778; payer and receipt stay post-refund.
- EIP-8141: spent gas pinned across refill rollbacks (batch unroll & frame revert).
- EIP-8141: two-dimensional frame gas, SIGDATACOPY, relaxed banned-opcode list.
- EIP-8141: frame target access charged at frame entry; precompiles dispatch in VERIFY frames.
- EIP-8141: approval scope statically banned on atomic batches.

Direct dispatch / codeless accounts
Base-led design; collaboration underway with 8141 on a shared tx type or account interoperability.
Child-frame state-gas reservoir
Cross-frame state-gas fix approved for Glamsterdam; consistency work landed in the frames devnet.
Recent Roots
Proposed to move out of the tx envelope into a canonical frame/mempool rule to avoid a protocol change.
Block-level gas accounting
Accounts block execution gas before refunds. The accounting model the frame tests build on.
Open design threads
Active in the Native AA breakouts (latest #5, Sep 22).
Frame-transaction JSON-RPC is underspecified
viem (jxom) flagged missing eth_estimateGas, eth_fillTransaction, and simulation support; lightclient favours an eth_simulateV2 that extends V1 with frame modes and multidimensional gas.
EIP-8130 ⇄ EIP-8141 harmonization
An ERC effort (Ethlabs) to align the two native-AA designs across the 5792 wallet-call API, 7715/7710 permissions, clear signing, privacy, and cross-chain batching.
Multidimensional fees
EIP-7999 proposes a single unified max fee; a byte-denominated state limit and several EVM gas-accounting models are under discussion, looping in the EIP-8037 gas-accounting work.
