binji: 1) EIP-7702: Upgrading EOA to Smart Wallets. This EIP will upgrade traditional EOA wallets to smart wallets, giving them more functionality. It allows wallets to support batching multiple operations into a single transaction, conditional payments, and having others pay the Gas fees for you. It's the "iPhone moment" for wallets. 2) EIP-2537: BLS12-381 Precompile. Ethereum is introducing a powerful computational primitive - the BLS12-381 precompile - which greatly improves the efficiency of complex mathematical operations. This is crucial for ZK tech, privacy, and scalability, and can also make staking systems more intelligent. 3) EIP-2935: Saving Historical Block Hashes. This EIP allows Ethereum to "remember" more historical data, enabling applications to reference old data from months ago. It also makes light clients more useful, laying the foundation for Ethereum's stateless design, where nodes no longer need to store everything. 4) EIP-6110: Fixing Staking Deposits. Currently, stakers have to wait a period of time to confirm deposits. This EIP removes this delay, making deposit processing faster and significantly improving the validator experience. 5) EIP-7002: Enhancing Validator Control. Validators will be able to better control their funds, increasing the decentralization of staking pools (like Lido) and other mechanisms. 6) EIP-7251: Increasing Staking Balance Cap. The staking cap will be raised to 2048 ETH, allowing validators to compound higher rewards. Fewer validators will lead to a cleaner network structure and reduced network pressure. 7) EIP-7549: Smarter Validator Voting. Currently, validators individually sign each vote. This EIP reduces the workload by 60x by batching signatures, while maintaining security. It's like upgrading from a typewriter to Google Docs collaboration. 8) EIP-7623: Adjusting Call Data Cost. Ethereum block storage is like packing a suitcase, where regular transactions are like regular items, but large data calls require more Gas. This EIP charges more for large data calls, optimizing network resources. 9) EIP-7685: Execution Layer (EL) and Consensus Layer (CL) "Hotline". Currently, Ethereum's EL and CL are like colleagues communicating by email. This EIP establishes a direct "hotline" between them, making future upgrades more efficient and seamless. 10) EIP-7691 + EIP-7840: Improving Blob Processing. Blobs are the large data chunks used in Rollups. Currently, each block can process 3 Blobs, but the upgrade will increase this to 6 Blobs. Result: Rollups become cheaper, scale faster, and have lower Gas fees, benefiting everyone.
