Vitalik: Ethereum can support various signature algorithms through EIP-8288, eliminating the need for new precompiles.

Vitalik Buterin (@VitalikButerin) stated that the ideal path for supporting various cryptographic algorithms lies in EIP-8288: users locally generate arbitrary signatures, produce STARK proofs, and submit them on-chain via a STARK aggregator. This avoids consuming calldata on-chain, so Ethereum no longer needs to add new precompiles. He also noted that if lattice cryptography (Lattice) is proven to be secure against AI attacks, it could still be utilized for accounts, wallets, and similar applications via precompiles in the future. Previously, Starknet co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson pushed back against related views from a16z, arguing that the rich mathematical structure of lattice cryptography makes it susceptible to AI attacks. Furthermore, the simplified variant based on Module SIS only emerged in 2012 and lacks sufficient maturity. He recommended waiting another three to five years until AI has thoroughly stress-tested these approaches before deploying them to custody large asset balances.
