Today's Ethereum News (2026-02-12) ๐Ÿ’ฐ ETH: $1,973 | ๐Ÿ“Š ETH.D: 10.0% โš™๏ธ Protocol Updates - Robinhood Chain testnet launched. Developers are building a developer environment and gathering feedback to transition the financial system to on-chain. - EIP-8159 proposed. This attempts to improve inter-node communication efficiency by updating the eth/71 P2P protocol for block access list exchange. - EIP-8141 documentation updated. Typos in the existing documentation have been corrected and content has been supplemented to ensure the accuracy of the protocol specifications. ๐Ÿ“‹ EIP Trends - ERC-8004 implemented on the mainnet. It provides portable identity identifiers for AI agents and saw over 13,000 agents registered immediately after launch. - ERC-8155 proposed. This builds a framework for managing modular smart contracts at the kernel level, utilizing the Diamond Proxy architecture. - EIP-8159 is under discussion. It aims to improve network performance through a new protocol for exchanging block data access lists between nodes. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Research Highlights - ZK API usage credits are being studied. Vitalik Buterin and others have participated in proposing a method for processing payments and authentication while protecting user data when using AI services. - Mixnets for enhanced anonymity are being studied. Vitalik suggests that, to achieve true privacy, mixnets at the network layer are necessary in addition to on-chain technology. - Open Agent Economy research is underway. It explores the potential of an economic model in which AI agents autonomously operate and transact on the Ethereum infrastructure. ๐Ÿฆ Community Discussion - Vitalik Buterin emphasized that differentiation through fundamental technological innovation, not mere marketing, is essential to making Ethereum a hub for AI. - Ethereum: BlackRock's BUIDL Fund and tokenized stocks are beginning to be used as DeFi collateral, signaling the expansion of on-chain finance. - ethereumfndn: Emphasized that Ethereum's success lies beyond technical achievements and hinges on upholding core values, and announced ecosystem support through a security fund. - tkstanczak: Noted that AI agents have begun operating with unique identities on the Ethereum mainnet through the ERC-8004 standard. - DavideCrapis: Warned that existing Web2-style identity authentication could pose a privacy threat in the AI era, emphasizing the need for a new authentication paradigm. ๐Ÿ’ก Today's Key Points - The influx of AI agents into Ethereum is accelerating, and research on ZK-based privacy technology and identity standards to support this is actively underway. - The integration of asset tokenization and DeFi by large institutions like BlackRock is in full swing, strengthening the on-chain financial ecosystem based on real assets. ๐Ÿ“Œ Source - X: ethereum, ethereumfndn, VitalikButerin, drakefjustin, TimBeiko, tkstanczak - ethresearch - Ethereum Magicians - Ethereum Blog - Vitalik Blog - GitHub EIPs
