Overview
- Developers reported about 66 proposals on Aug. 16–17 and are actively narrowing the field with Fork‑Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL, EIP‑7805) currently the only feature formally scheduled for Hegotá.
- EIP‑8141 Frame Transactions has been elevated to “considered for inclusion” but is not approved and depends on companion drafts Keyed Nonces (EIP‑8250) and Recent Roots (EIP‑8272) to support native fee sponsorship and privacy tooling.
- Ethlabs recommended four top priorities—censorship resistance through FOCIL, shorter slots (Quick Slots/EIP‑8198), native account abstraction via Frames, and continued Layer‑1 scaling—but its paper is advisory rather than binding.
- Core developers set a scoping cadence that requires the proposed‑for‑inclusion list by late August and ranked preference lists from execution client teams by Sept. 10 so implementation and devnet resources can be assigned.
- The compressed timeline after Glamsterdam’s slip to late 2026 and the new Platåberget testnet raises pressure to limit Hegotá to changes that can be built, tested, and audited in time, with candidate gas‑repricing EIPs aimed at preparing Ethereum for much higher block gas limits.
