Dropping our ranking of consensus-layer EIPs proposed for inclusion in Hegotá FOCIL is our top priority, alongside proposals that help scale Ethereum Read more from our very own @terencechain 👇

Ethereum Foundation Grades 62 Hegotá EIPs, Targets Quantum-Resistant L1 by 2029 The Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Cluster published its Hegotá upgrade assessment and roadmap, grading 62 proposed EIPs. EIP-7805 (FOCIL, an anti-censorship proposal) and EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions, a core account abstraction proposal) were placed in the S tier as “must ship,” while 15 proposals were rated A tier as “expected to ship” and 28 were rejected. The Protocol Cluster also outlined research priorities through 2029, targeting quantum resistance across Ethereum L1’s execution, consensus, and data layers by December 2029, with fast finality, post-quantum security, privacy, state, and zkEVM identified as five cross-upgrade research areas.

So far, 23 EIPs are CFI'd/SFI'd for next year's fork, Hegotá. That's a lot already, but tbf, only the two headliners (FOCIL + Frame Transactions) are SFI'd. The rest are still CFI'd and could end up being DFI'd. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll see how many make it into devnets (and thus get implemented by clients), before eventually being SFI'd or DFI'd. AI has accelerated development, and devs are getting faster at shipping code, especially prototypes. But governance and coordination still need to adapt to that pace. Pipelining fork development has never worked as smoothly as with Glamsterdam/Hegotá, with headliner devnets launching before Glamsterdam has even shipped, but scope creep is real and just because we can ship more doesn't mean we should. It's up to the community, including core devs and researchers, to keep forks manageable in size and, most importantly, secure.

🚨 LATEST: Ethereum Foundation names FOCIL and Frame Transactions as the two "must ship" EIPs for the Hegotá upgrade. It also set a longer-term target of a quantum-resistant Ethereum L1 by December 2029.

8130 is already the strong choice for native AA for validation only partial statelessness (VOPS). Validating an 8130 transaction reads only the Keystore (+world state). In contrast frames execute against the account storage (+world state) and require add on EIPs like 8369 to help manage. That gap matters for FOCIL + zkEVM verifier nodes + validation performance. 8130 goes further with fully stateless accounts! A transaction-scoped account combined with 8130's nonceless transactions means no storage writes outside of its interactions. Stateless, ephemeral accounts are an essential building block for private, uncensorable, no intermediary transactions on L1!

BNB chain just published concrete post-quantum migration research using ML-DSA-44 signatures and pqSTARK aggregation. bitcoin has zero BIPs for quantum resistance. ethereum has zero EIPs with timelines. google/stanford research compressed the quantum threat from 20-30 years to 5-10 years and the market is pricing exactly 0% premium for chains that are actually preparing. BNB's 21 validators can coordinate a cryptographic hard fork in months. ethereum's 900,000 validators took 7 years to ship the merge. when IBM hits 50k stable qubits around 2029, the coordination problem becomes an existential problem. the "centralization discount" on BNB flips into a survival premium during forced migration. still early

It's been 210 days since Fusaka activated, and we're getting closer to the next fork: Glamsterdam. Since the Merge, Ethereum has shipped a fork every ~294 days on average. Shapella: 210 days Dencun: 336 days Pectra (pls don't remind me): 420 days Fusaka: 210 days Glamsterdam is shaping up to be one of the bigger forks. ePBS revamps the block validation pipeline while reducing trust assumptions. BALs bring parallelization to Ethereum, and repricing EIPs make sure we can keep scaling safely. On top of the headline features, we're also getting ETH transfers emitting logs, a SLOTNUM opcode, a deterministic deployment factory, larger contract code size, and more. Glamsterdam will scale Ethereum by around 5x, and with Hegota and a few more repricing EIPs, another 2–3x is within reach. At the same time, work on Hegota is already ramping up. Inclusion Lists (FOCIL) + Frame Transactions will be a great combo, and there are already 20+ EIPs proposed alongside the two headline features. Further out, zkEVMs are the next big theme. PQ Ethereum is also on the horizon, and there's already work underway to get the protocol ready for it. Before we get there, there are still things to do: revamp state and sync, improve RPCs, ship faster finality, shorten slots, add native privacy, and more. Lots of stuff ahead, but it's good to see Ethereum's roadmap starting to come together.
