Base and Ethereum will pursue separate native account-abstraction standards after a collaboration to reconcile EIP-8130 with Ethereum’s EIP-8141, known as Frame Transactions, ended last week, Ethlabs’ Derek Chiang said. Both proposals remain active drafts in Ethereum’s official Improvement Proposal registry. Account abstraction lets wallets sponsor fees, batch transactions, use passkeys and apply custom authentication rules. ERC-4337 currently provides those capabilities as an overlay using UserOperation objects, a separate mempool, bundlers and an EntryPoint contract rather than changing Ethereum’s protocol. EIP-8130 and EIP-8141 seek to embed account abstraction in native transaction handling. EIP-8130 is being tested on Base’s vibenet devnet and is designed for adoption across the OP Stack, while claiming up to a 63% gas reduction for certain transfer types versus ERC-4337. EIP-8141 uses sequenced contract-call frames for validation, gas approval and execution, with an emphasis on extensibility, privacy and post-quantum readiness. It is expected to ship as part of Ethereum’s upcoming Hegotá upgrade. The split reflects different Layer 1 and Layer 2 priorities and could increase integration work for wallets and applications, although software may conceal protocol differences from users. EIP-8130’s portability provisions would still allow accounts to operate on other EVM chains through ERC-4337 or another transport mechanism.
