Vitalik Buterin: Proposes EIP-8288 for STARK Mempools

Analysis

Vitalik Buterin detailed EIP-8288 for recursive STARK mempools, targeting inclusion in the I-star fork after Hegota to deliver ultra-cheap quantum-safe signatures via SPHINCS+ and privacy protocols that drop gas from millions to low tens of thousands by keeping 3 kB signatures off-chain.

With ETH price at $2491.92 inside the Bollinger band, the 50-EMA at $2473.08 serves as immediate support while the 200-EMA at $2279.98 anchors the longer-term bullish structure; the neutral RSI(14) at 52.09 and MACD golden cross at 5.85 point to a probable test of upper-band resistance at $2513.54 before any healthy retracement to the lower band at $2467.32.
