EIP-8288 proposes parallel ZK proof aggregation in Ethereum mempool
- —Mempool nodes recursively aggregate proofs, leaving builders with one proof per block
- —Adding nodes scales signature and proof throughput without raising builder hardware needs
- —Different signature schemes, including post-quantum ones, are wrapped in STARK proofs
- —Chiang cites potential for tens of thousands of transactions per second, an unverified estimate
Why it matters: If adopted, EIP-8288 could make post-quantum and private transactions cheaper on Ethereum, though timing and parameters remain undecided.
