EIP-8304: Trustless log and transaction index in Geth

Video

Every log query today runs on trust, dashboards, indexers and commercial RPCs assume the serving node is honest, nothing in a response is provable. Light clients cannot verify completeness, selective omission goes unnoticed. EIP-8304 builds an index into the protocol, a system contract called each block commits transactions and logs as sorted, variable-length entries into chained SSZ-merkleized tables, staggered merges keep per-block work and storage incremental.

The index unlocks trustless log queries with inclusion, exclusion and completeness proofs for light clients
