Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that Ethereum has been discussing account abstraction (AA) since early 2016. Now, EIP-8141 serves as a comprehensive proposal aimed at addressing all remaining issues related to AA. The core concept of this proposal is "frame transactions," where a transaction contains N calls that can read each other's call data and can authorize the sender and gas payer.This mechanism supports various use cases: ordinary account transactions (such as multi-signature, variable keys, quantum-resistant signature schemes) are completed through validating frames and executing frames; when paying gas fees with non-ETH tokens, it can be achieved through the main contract without any intermediaries.In terms of privacy protocols, ZK-SNARK verification or the addition of two-dimensional randomness can be implemented through payment contracts. Regarding security, on-chain transactions are only valid when the validating frame returns an ACCEPT with a gas payment flag, while the memory pool layer will initially adopt conservative rules, gradually expanding later.EIP-8141 is highly complementary to FOCIL, with FOCIL ensuring quick transaction inclusion and AA ensuring that complex operations can be executed as first-class transactions directly. The proposal is also discussing EOA compatibility, which is theoretically feasible. After more than a decade of research, these technologies are expected to be implemented within a year through the Hegota fork.

According to BlockSec monitoring, the account abstraction wallet Holdstation was hacked, with multi-chain assets stolen amounting to $100,000. The hacker has transferred the stolen funds to the Bitcoin network.The Holdstation team has released an on-chain message and is attempting to negotiate with the attacker.

World (formerly Worldcoin) announced the release of World ID v4, introducing account abstraction architecture into the protocol system. This upgrade transforms World ID from a single key mechanism to an abstract record in the public registry "WorldIDRegistry," supporting multiple authorization keys, allowing users to generate authentication proofs across different devices or platforms.World stated that the core improvements of the new version include: support for multi-key and multi-validator management, enhancing usage flexibility while maintaining the same identity; increased protocol resilience by introducing key rotation, revocation, and optional recovery agent mechanisms; launching a web-based reference validator to simplify the browser experience; generating one-time nullifiers through OPRF nodes to strengthen privacy protection; and introducing a trust anchor registry to help validators identify request sources, prevent phishing attacks, and lay the groundwork for future protocol fee mechanisms.

The chain abstract stablecoin protocol River has officially launched on the OKX wallet. To celebrate the launch, the official X Launch incentive event has been initiated, with a total prize pool of 33,333 $RIVER. The deadline for participation in the event is January 8th at 8 AM UTC.

The chain-abstract stablecoin protocol River announced a strategic investment from the Maelstrom Fund, a crypto fund founded by BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes. According to the official announcement, this investment will support River in expanding its chain-abstract stablecoin system and ecological development, promoting the circulation and application of on-chain capital.It is reported that River allows users to deposit assets such as BTC, ETH, and BNB on one chain and natively mint satUSD on another chain, seamlessly participating in various yield opportunities. River's stablecoin has integrated over 30 protocols, such as Morpho, Pendle, and ListaDAO, and has been deployed to mainstream ecosystems like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base, with a TVL exceeding $300 million and a circulation of satUSD surpassing $100 million.Before the announcement of this investment, the $RIVER token briefly rose to $25 (currently reported at $14.2), reaching new highs for several consecutive days, with a weekly increase of up to 600%. The total trading volume across the network exceeded $3 billion. Among them, the 24-hour trading volume of Binance perpetual contracts once surpassed $1.7 billion, second only to mainstream tokens like BTC and ETH, and ranked in the top five for contract trading volume on multiple CEXs.

The Ethereum Foundation posted on the X platform, stating that the account abstraction team, along with Vitalik Buterin, has released the "Trustless Manifesto" and placed it on-chain. The original intention of Ethereum was not to enhance financial efficiency, but to enable people to collaborate without the need for trusted intermediaries. This manifesto clearly articulates a series of related values, including trustless neutrality, self-custody, verifiability, and a resistance to "convenient" centralized models.The manifesto is fully stored on-chain in the form of a smart contract and provides a single operation: pledge(). This contract has no owner, no administrator, and the text is immutable, with all operations relying on the Ethereum network. When the pledge() operation is called, the system will record the caller's address and the timestamp of the first pledge, and emit a public Pledged(address, timestamp) event. This operation only consumes gas fees and does not provide any form of incentives such as airdrops, points, or early access. If relevant parties make a pledge, it indicates their concern for the importance of user self-authorized operations, their desire for their protocols not to rely on private servers and opaque relayers, and their willingness to bear the actual costs to maintain Ethereum's trustless characteristics.

ChainCatcher message, Abstract core contributor cygaar posted on platform X stating that starting next week, points (XP) will be distributed to users (LP) providing liquidity on Abstract.Eligible trading pairs will include major currencies (ETH, PENGU, USDC, USDT, etc.), with more tokens to be covered after observing the liquidity development.

ChainCatcher news, Paradigm CTO Georgios Konstantopoulos stated that a year of research found no significant breakthroughs in account abstraction, suggesting it should have been set as a native feature of Ethereum in its early years.Vitalik Buterin responded that full account abstraction has not been achieved, requiring ECDSA or intermediaries, with intermediaries relying on privacy risks and censorship resistance, while quantum security and privacy protocols still pose challenges.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the modular blockchain infrastructure project Avail has officially completed the strategic acquisition of the chain abstraction protocol Arcana. According to the integration plan, all XAR tokens will be exchanged for AVAIL tokens at a ratio of 4:1, and Arcana's core technological tools will be fully integrated into the Avail tech stack, with its core development team also joining the Avail project.Regarding the token unlocking mechanism, the AVAIL tokens obtained through the exchange will have a linear unlocking period of 6 to 12 months, while the tokens held by the original Arcana team will have a unlocking arrangement of up to 3 years.

ChainCatcher news, the first chain-abstract DeFAI gamified yield platform Golden Goose incubated by Cycle Network launched its TGE pre-sale on the evening of July 29, with a maximum FDV exceeding $80 million.At the same time, the Golden Goose Diamond Egg NFT officially went on sale, issued simultaneously on ETH, BSC, and ARB multi-chains, with over 1,000 sold within the first 10 minutes.
