EIP-8141 would let users pay gas in USDC, but ETH remains the settlement asset
- —EIP-8141 splits the signature, gas payment and execution of an operation into separate frames
- —The Paymaster pays gas in ETH, while the user settles with it in USDC
- —The upgrade is slated for inclusion in the Hegotá upgrade in 2027
- —Frames allow combining approve and swap into an atomic package that reverts on failure
Why it matters: Lowering the entry barrier for new users could boost network activity, but ETH retains its role as the protocol's settlement asset.
