Ethereum developers are reviewing 66 proposals to select a subset for the Hegotá upgrade, which is planned for 2025. The upgrade will incorporate several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). FOCIL (Fork-choice enforced inclusion lists) is scheduled for inclusion and aims to let a committee of validators include pending transactions in blocks to improve censorship resistance, according to Toni Wahrstätter, a contributor to the Ethereum Foundation. Other proposals such as EIP-8141, EIP-8250 and EIP-8272 could provide protocol primitives for privacy applications, enabling privacy apps to operate without intermediaries. Core developers have said they aim to ship the Hegotá upgrade next year. The next core developer call, scheduled for Monday at 2:00 pm UTC, will help determine which proposals advance. Developers are also preparing Glamsterdam, an upgrade designed to improve scalability and usability, with a mainnet launch expected in the second half of 2026. Proposals not selected for Hegotá may be reconsidered in future upgrades, and the outcome of the upcoming call will shape Ethereum’s development trajectory through 2027.
