  "account": "EIP-7702 drew scrutiny after the Binance hack, but a security firm claims it didn't cause the $6.3 billion theft. The hack is believed to have occurred through a compromised developer machine, allowing attackers to drain wallets and potentially bypass some of Binance's checks. EIP-7702, which enables delegation of account signing, raises concerns about the need for engineers to revoke and audit malicious delegations. Ephemeral rollups propose a Layer 1.5 model, where the wallet retains user state, L1 verifies every transition, and a stateless worker computes. This model, EIP-8141, allows applications to check proofs and pay fees from the funds moved, eliminating the need for a sequencer or relayer to submit transitions. Two additional proposals complement this model: EIP-8250 keyed nonces and EIP-8288, which enables mempool nodes to check proofs once with a single recursive STARK. ERC-8478 aims to tie agent payments to identity to prevent redirection of funds, especially in cases where the destination address comes from an HTTP response. This draft integrates an anchor ERC-8004 and requires signed EIP-712 delegations for payout addresses, ensuring that only the agent who controls the receiving account can receive funds. VIA Labs has launched bidirectional cross-chain messaging between Stellar's Soroban smart-contract platform and Ethereum's mainnet, enabling applications to initiate instructions on one chain and have contracts execute corresponding actions on the other. This cross-chain messaging primarily uses contract-mediated routes, which aligns with the broader trend of chain abstraction in the Ethereum ecosystem.",
