Base Transactions activate with the [Everest network upgrade](/upgrades/overview). Activation dates are TBD.
</Warning>

## Relationship to EIP-8130

EIP-8430 is not a rename of [EIP-8130](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-8130.md). It is a separate proposal that splits the transaction type out of EIP-8130, with no dependency on a keystore.

- **EIP-8430** defines the transaction type (`0x79`) described on this page.
- **EIP-8130** now specifies Keystore Accounts, an onchain keystore that authorizes account actors through authenticator contracts. It also describes how the Keystore can integrate with the EIP-8430 transaction type.

Tighten the EIP-8130 bullet and define terms

The bullet is long and introduces "authenticator contracts" and "Keystore" without defining them. It also capitalizes "Keystore" inconsistently with "keystore" in line 24. Shorten it and use one form of the term.

Earlier drafts of EIP-8130 defined the `0x79` transaction type themselves, so older material may call these "EIP-8130 transactions." EIP-8430 is an open proposal in the Ethereum EIPs repository, and EIP-8130 has Draft status. A proposal's EIP status does not tell you whether Base Transactions are live on Base. Activation follows the Everest network upgrade.

Split the overloaded closing paragraph

The paragraph covers legacy naming, EIP status, and activation in one block, and ends with an extra activation sentence that repeats the Warning above. Split it into two ideas and drop the duplicate activation line. Keep one sentence per idea, in active voice.
