Ethereum Foundation names 2 ‘must ship’ EIPs for Hegotá upgrade

Ethereum’s Hegotá upgrade will center on FOCIL and Frame Transactions as developers weigh dozens of other proposed changes for inclusion.

The Ethereum Foundation has identified two “must ship” proposals for the Hegotá upgrade, prioritizing censorship resistance and more flexible account authentication as it narrows the fork’s scope.

The ranking evaluated 62 proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), drawing on input from roughly 60 researchers and engineers across the Foundation’s Protocol cluster. It marks the first time the Foundation’s Protocol cluster has published a unified view of proposed EIPs rather than separate opinions from individual teams.
