Developer proposes variable proof sizes for Ethereum's EIP-8288
- —EIP-8288 aggregates signatures and cryptographic proofs in the mempool and verifies them with a recursive STARK proof in the block
- —Vitalik Buterin and Thomas Coratger drafted it on June 3 over the size of post-quantum signatures and verification costs
- —ignotusnemo proposes separate tracking channels for verification obligations per approved proof type
- —Adoption would require rules for merging sub-proofs and compatibility when one program uses different proof schemes
Why it matters: The proposal could shape Ethereum's scalability and post-quantum readiness, though it is still a draft discussion with no timeline.
