Ethereum cryptography proposal could keep some 2–3 KB signature data out of blocks

Ethereum could verify complex cryptography without carrying every original signature or proof inside its blocks under an Ethereum cryptography proposal backed by Vitalik Buterin on October 19, 2026. EIP-8288 would move much of that work outside the network’s main execution process, combining proofs before block inclusion rather than repeatedly adding specialized verification functions. Key takeaways […]
