Hegotá scoping, Bitcoin PQC outputs, agent ERCs

Ethereum developers scoped the Hegotá upgrade and refined several agent-related ERCs, while Bitcoin contributors centralized post-quantum output types and floated a self-custodial scaling idea. A minor Bitcoin Core build regression fix also drew early review.

Hegotá hard fork scoping

Teams posted ranked EIP lists for the Hegotá network upgrade on the Ethereum Magicians forum. An Ethereum Foundation group highlighted FOCIL, frame transactions, and data repricing among the priorities under discussion. The meta thread will determine which changes enter the next hard fork scope.

Bitcoin PQC output types

A Sipa-initiated thread on Delving Bitcoin centralized discussion of post-quantum cryptography output types, including P2MR and P2TRv2, along with CISA bundling. Eight participants exchanged twenty-nine messages on quantum-resistant designs. The work matters for long-term Bitcoin security against cryptanalytic advances.

ERC-8004 trustless agents

Discussion of ERC-8004 refined a transferable reputation model that incorporates ownership_epoch provenance and drew cross-ERC comparisons after testnet measurements. Seventeen participants produced more than a hundred messages on Ethereum Magicians. The proposal targets portable trust signals for on-chain agents.

Confidential agent policy verdicts

A draft proposal for zero-knowledge confidential agent policy verdicts refined programKey handling so off-chain verifiers can rely on policy_commitment hashes. Eight participants contributed seventy-four messages. The approach adds privacy-preserving policy checks for agent systems.

Asynchronous NFT register projections

An early working draft labeled ERC-8415 explored asynchronous projections of NFT holders together with a watchtower freshness layer. Four participants discussed the idea across twenty-seven messages. The draft examines how NFT state might be observed without constant on-chain polling.

Agent-mandate ERC map

A short thread mapped distinctions among ERCs that define agent mandates and delegation, clarifying enforcement boundaries and wallet UX implications. Five participants posted nine messages. The comparison helps developers separate overlapping agent standards.

Depots self-custodial scaling

A new Bitcoin protocol called depots was proposed for theft-proof self-custodial scaling that relies on griefer penalization. The three-participant thread stalled on formatting and readability problems. The design aims at custody usable by large numbers of users without trusted third parties.

Bitcoin Core guix certs restore

A small pull request restored nss-certs for the guix build after a regression introduced in an earlier change. Five participants gave early ACKs and noted codesign implications. The fix keeps reproducible build tooling functional.
