ETHSF26 Community Day: Whitepaper Reading Club & KryptoPlanet
Whether you're building, researching, or just Ethereum-curious — Friday is for the community.
We close out EthereumSF week with two back-to-back sessions: a deep-dive Whitepaper Reading Club on EIP-8141 and ERC-8150, followed by a mini Open Source AI Summit co-hosted with KryptoPlanet.
Agenda
1:00 PM | Doors open
1:30 PM (12th Floor) | Whitepaper Reading Club
4:30 PM (2nd Floor) | Mini Open Source AI Summit by KryptoPlanet
6:30 PM | End
Whitepaper Reading Club (1:30pm to 4:30pm)
** { Floor 12 } **
Topics:
EIP-8141 frame transactions — a new transaction type that makes smart accounts native to the protocol. No bundlers, no EntryPoint, no alt-mempool. Just programmable validation logic enforced at the consensus level. The culmination of a decade of account abstraction research, and the leading candidate for the Hegota hard fork in late 2026!
Discussion lead by Elliot Friedman of Kleidi.
EIP Summary: LinkERC-8150 — As AI agents become autonomous economic actors, payment verification can't rely on trust — it needs proof. ERC-8150 uses ZK verification for agent-initiated payments, designed to plug directly into frame-based transaction frameworks. Picks up where 8141 leaves off.
Discussion lead by Nathan Liang of Vishwa Labs.
