# H is for **Hardness** Glamsterdam brings significant scaling to the chain that will continue to be realized months after the fork. Hegotá is a good opportunity to return to the topic of hardness after several forks focusing on throughput. ## Geth Headliner Pick ### EIP-8141: Frame transaction We believe EIP-8141 is the right choice for EL headliner. It is the ideal companion to FOCIL as it allows smart accounts to also benefit from the improved inclusion guarantees. While the EIP is new, it only brings minor changes to work pioneered by ERC-4337 over the last several years. It gives a definitive answer to how Ethereum's execution layer will migrate to post-quantum cryptographic schemes. Because the migration will take time, it's important to begin early. It also supports other core tenets like privacy and trustlessness. A common issue with privacy protocols today is that they require an EOA with funds to withdraw, which present a chicken-and-egg problem. Frame transactions allow the withdrawal to happen first, then gas payment is approved later. For trustlessness, we can begin to remove the paymaster intermediaries and rely on our public txpool for robust and decentralized transaction relaying. ## Rationale for rejected headliners ### EIP-7807: SSZ execution blocks This is an invasive change without much benefit to users. We can experiment with binary representations of engine API data without implementing this EIP. We are opposed to it as a headliner. ### LUCID Encrypted Mempool While LUCID proposes an interesting design, we believe it hasn't matured enough yet. Not only was it proposed very recently, there are few encrypted mempools deployed at scale anywhere in blockchains. All encrypted mempools we are aware of suffer from substantial metadata leakage like nonce, gas limit, etc. and this proposal is no different. We would like to see significant discussion and prototyping of this project over the next 6-12 months and would be interested in reconsidering it for the Istanbul fork. For Hegotá, we are opposed to it as a headliner.
