Ethereum developer Marchhill has submitted a draft for EIP-8437, which proposes propagating Proof Wrapper data via the eth/73 protocol and adding an optional mode that allows transactions to submit original signatures to aggregators without pre-generating STARK proofs. The proposal supports propagating certified program packages directly alongside transactions, and conducting independent checks of specified programs in resource-constrained sandboxes to verify witness data, eliminating the need to develop native adapters for each individual signature scheme. Additionally, the proposal plans to limit batch queue size, clear expired transactions, and recheck records before formal proof generation to enable failure retries. Currently, the proposal remains in the Draft stage and has not been merged. Developers note that VM and key binding consistency verification, cryptographic verification, and performance tests are still incomplete, and no benchmark tests have been conducted.
