EIP PROPOSAL FOR THE LAUNCH OF A “CATEGORY OF DEPOSIT IN SUPPORT OF POST QUANTITIES” BY THE TAIFENG COMMUNITY

On 25 August, an EIP proposal for a “deposit contract to support later quantum calculations” was published by the Taifeng community. The proposal includes the introduction of public key and voucher metadata for the variable length of the new contract and the introduction of a clear scheme identifier (scheme 0 reserved for the current BLS deposit). Instead of relying on the Merkel tree structure of the old deposit contract, the contract transmitted the deposit information to the Consensus Level through an execution request derived from the EIP-7685 log. In addition, the contract has an irreversible model controlled by the protocol system: the deposit is initially disabled, the BLS deposit is activated at the specified time stamp and the BLS deposit is permanently disabled at a later time (not re-enabled). During the migration period, clients are required to consolidate their deposit requests for old and new contracts。
