Call summary

Targets
  • •Testnet v0.3 — first end-to-end EIP-8288 aggregation with Nethermind or ethrex (timeline TBD, targeting next ~2 weeks) - 00:06:04
Decisions
  • •v0.3 testnet will implement aggregation once per block (not every slot) as simplest first end-to-end milestone - 00:47:59
Highlights
  • Testnet Status:
    • ·Testnet v0.1 (ERC-4337 + Lean SPHINCS variant) and v0.2 (ERC-4337 + native frame tx via EIP-8141) already deployed; v0.3 targeting mempool aggregation - 00:04:49
    • ·EIP-8288 (signature aggregation) is next target; LeanVM fork by Emil parameterized to match current devnet; 20 signatures/sec wrapping speed on regular hardware (preliminary) - 00:06:04
    • ·Nethermind (and ethrex) to ship embedded LeanVM for native block verification — no precompile or Solidity contract; replaces ECDSA verification path - 00:16:23
  • Ethrex Prototype:
    • ·lambdaclass ethrex branch eip-8288 has working in-mempool aggregation prototype with LeanVM; benchmarks committed; covers validation and mempool aggregation - 00:21:31
  • Eip 8288 Aggregation Design:
    • ·Block structure for v0.3: transactions stripped of individual signatures + single constant-size aggregated proof SA produced by LeanVM; size independent of tx count - 00:13:49
    • ·Targeting EIP-8288 test case 7 (aggregator = block builder, wraps test case 1 with recursive STARK); wrapper object carries dependency reference + actual Lean SPHINCS signature, decoupled from frame - 00:23:36
    • ·Open problem: how receiving Nethermind/ethrex nodes verify the aggregated LeanVM proof natively without precompile; consensus is native integration required, not yet implemented - 00:51:33
Action Items
  • •Nethermind / Stefano De Angelis - Stefano De Angelis (Nethermind) to bring concrete test-case-7 solution proposal to next call - 00:55:17
  • •Antonio Sanso - Antonio to invite Vitalik / Tomas (EIP-8288 authors) to a future call for design clarification - 00:56:08

Key decisions

  • v0.3 testnet will implement aggregation once per block (not every slot) as simplest first end-to-end milestone

    This decision establishes the scope for the v0.3 testnet to achieve a functional end-to-end milestone for EIP-8288 aggregation.
