Forecast Trend Report by Period
Ethereum is moving to make transaction-fee, or gas-fee, payments far more convenient. In the future, users may be able to pay gas fees with stablecoins and other digital assets without holding Ether directly.
CoinDesk reported on September 7 that Ethereum core developers decided on August 27 to include Frame Transactions, or EIP-8141, in the Hegotá upgrade scheduled for 2027.
At present, all transaction fees on Ethereum must be paid in Ether. As a result, users cannot transfer stablecoins or other digital assets from a wallet if it does not also hold ETH.
If Frame Transactions is introduced, the account approving a transaction can be separated from the account paying the fee. That would allow a payments application to pay gas fees in Ether on a user's behalf, or receive stablecoins from the user and settle the fee with that amount.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote that important progress on Frame-related work has been taking place quietly over the past few months.
