Ethereum Smart Accounts Coming in Hegota Fork
Ethereum account draft or smart accounts will be delivered with Hegota update “within a year”, Vitalik Buterin said on Saturday.
“Since the beginning of 2016, we have been talking about the account summary,” the co-founder of Ethereum said at the end of the week.
Now, he added, “we finally have EIP-8141, which covers and solves all of AA's problems.” [account abstraction] It was meant to be solved (in addition)” and is scheduled to be deployed this year.
“Finally, after more than a decade of research and refinement of these techniques, it looks like it could all happen within a year (Hegota Shuka).”
The basic concept is “as simple as you can get while still having a high overall objective,” explains Buttery using frame transactions.
Instead of being a single operation, the transaction becomes a sequence of “frames” that can refer to each other's data, and each frame signals the consent of the sender or gas payer.
The main principle of cypherpunk Ethereum
When multi-signature, quantum-proof wallets and accounts have a validation frame, it verifies the signature, then executes an execution frame.
Paying for gas in non-ETH tokens is a “payer contract” or a special-purpose decentralized exchange that delivers Ether (ETH) in real time, no middleman needed, which is a big deal for Ethereum Ethos, Vitalik said.
“Decentralization is a core tenet of cypherpunk ethereum that isn't ugly: maximize what you can even if all the world's infrastructure except the Ethereum chain collapses.”

Buterin explained that this is a big deal for privacy protocol users, as they can completely remove the “public channels” in privacy platforms like Railgun and Tornado Raw and replace them with “general purpose public members.”
Quantum-resistant ethereum in the pipeline
All Ethereum accounts, including existing ones, can be placed under the same framework and gain the ability to do group work and transaction sponsorship, he said.
Ethereum's co-founder released his quantum security roadmap for Ethereum on Thursday, detailing four areas of concern: verifier signatures, data storage, user identity signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs.
He also said he expects to see “progressive reductions” in both inspection time and completion time in the long-term development roadmap.
