The Ethereum Foundation has outlined the next major phase of protocol upgrades, focusing on account abstraction improvements, further gas optimizations, and enhanced data availability for rollups. The changes are expected to roll out across multiple hard forks over the next 18 months.
Key improvements include native support for social recovery wallets and gasless transactions through paymaster contracts, which developers say will dramatically simplify the user experience for newcomers.
The announcement has been well received by the developer community, with core contributors highlighting that these upgrades represent the most user-centric changes in Ethereum's history.
