Ethereum Devs Narrow 66 Hegotá Proposals for Next Year Upgrade

19:12

Developers review 66 proposals for the Hegotá upgrade, prioritizing privacy EIPs and FOCIL. Core devs aim to ship next year, with Glamsterdam launching late 2026.

Woofun AI reports that Ethereum developers are reviewing 66 proposals to define the scope of the Hegotá upgrade, targeting a release next year. FOCIL remains the sole EIP currently scheduled for inclusion, while Frame Transactions (EIP-8141), Keyed Nonces (EIP-8250), and Recent Roots for Frame Transactions (EIP-8272) are candidates to enable native privacy capabilities without intermediaries. Toni Wahrstätter, an Ethereum Foundation contributor, noted these additions could unlock protocol-level privacy primitives. The upcoming developer call on Monday at 2:00 pm UTC will further shape the trajectory for 2027. Proposals excluded from Hegotá may be reconsidered for future upgrades.

Concurrently, preparations continue for the Glamsterdam upgrade, expected in the second half of 2026 to enhance scalability and layer-1 security.

Impact Assessment · Quick Read

The narrowing of proposals signals a strategic focus on censorship resistance via FOCIL and native privacy infrastructure in the Hegotá upgrade. This shift may reduce reliance on off-chain privacy solutions, potentially increasing demand for protocol-level privacy assets. With Glamsterdam targeting scalability improvements later this year, the roadmap suggests a dual-track approach to hardening L1 while expanding feature sets.

Native privacy via Frame Transactions could finally let DeFi protocols offer shielded swaps without relying on centralized mixers. Hope the consensus on EIP-8141 holds before the next call, otherwise we might miss a whole privacy wave next year.

Hegotá narrowing down to FOCIL plus privacy EIPs like 8141 and 8250 next year is notable. Wondering if native privacy primitives will actually shift user behavior for yield farms without intermediaries yet.
