The first Ethereum testnet forks to Glamsterdam tomorrow!
A smooth fork will be followed by a fork to Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet, then mainnet. After this fork, we'll have a pretty good idea of when we're going live on mainnet.
The headliners are enshrined
The first Ethereum testnet forks to Glamsterdam tomorrow!
A smooth fork will be followed by a fork to Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet, then mainnet. After this fork, we'll have a pretty good idea of when we're going live on mainnet.
The headliners are enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS, EIP-7732) and block-level access lists (BAL, EIP-7928), and some other highlights are an increase in the max contract size and faster consolidation queues.
When: Tuesday October 6, 13:40 UTC

big event in ethereum land today:
1️⃣ frame txs confirmed as a headliner for hegota (the upgrade following glamsterdam)
2️⃣ client teams presented their EIP preferences, then immediately began whittling down the list of candidates. future meetings will identify which to CFI
Following up on our execution EIP tier list, we wanted to share our combined execution and consensus rankings for Hegota. We've followed the same EF Protocol scoring system and tier definitions for both lists.
We'd also like to make a special mention of the post-quantum-ready deposit contract proposal. It didn't make it onto the Hegota EIP selection list, but we think proposals like this one should be included in the fork to prepare validator deposits for future post-quantum credentials.
We'll expand on our thoughts about Hegota and the reasoning behind our rankings in the blog post we're preparing.
Over the last few months, we've been working with EF researchers and EIP authors on Hegota proposals, implementing them in ethrex and opening our public testnets to users and other client teams.
We wanted to share our execution EIP tier list, which follows the EF Protocol team's
Hegota should be a small fork that ships fast.
The Lodestar team ranked the proposed consensus-layer EIPs. Here's where we think the priorities belong.
S: must ship
A: strongly support
B: support if the timeline allows
C: support with qualifications
We believe Ethereum upgrades could benefit from a tick-tock cadence.
Glamsterdam is the big upcoming "tick": ambitious, complex, and feature-heavy. With it shipping shortly, we think Hegotá should be the shorter "tock" focused on maintenance, cleaning up technical debt, and making a few targeted improvements ahead of the next major upgrade.
Alongside FOCIL, we favor proposals with clear near-term benefits and low implementation and testing complexity. More ambitious changes should wait for the next "tick".
Our consensus-layer EIP rankings are below. For more details on the reasoning behind each ranking, read the linked article 👇
serenita.io/blog/2026/hego…
We reviewed all 60+ EIPs proposed for Hegotá and updated our view on what Ethereum should prioritize.
Our rankings follow four themes:
1. Stronger censorship resistance: Ethereum can only become a settlement layer for everyone if it stays neutral toward everyone. We strongly support FOCIL.
2. Faster Ethereum: Shorter slots mean faster confirmations, fresher onchain prices, and faster finality. We strongly recommend Quick Slots to make a first reduction in Hegotá and further reductions easier in subsequent forks.
3. Native account abstraction: Ethereum is long-due for native AA. Frame Transactions bring passkey wallets, sponsored transactions, gas paid in tokens, batching, and better support for privacy and post-quantum security. Adoption will take work across wallets, L2s, and the rest of the stack, and we intend to keep helping with that.
4. Performance engineering: continued L1 scaling & a faster Ethereum. Performance should remain a first-class concern in both client work and protocol design. The gains can go toward more capacity, shorter slots, lower node requirements, or all three.
Thanks to everyone who put forward proposals and helped us work through them. We’ll keep updating our view as client and testing teams assess the work involved.

This is my ranking for Hegota. It's very few EIPs, and that's on purpose. It's focusing on features that there is a "customer" for, and it shuns all the cool, research-ey stuff nobody asked for.
i’m a simple man, for hegota i want:
⚡️ faster ethereum
EIP-8198: quick slots
🥷 private ethereum
EIP-8141: frame transaction and friends (EIP-8250 + EIP-8272)
🔒 post-quantum ethereum
EIP-8355: pq signatures + EIP-8365
🚀 scalable ethereum
EIP-8131 + EIP-8279 + EIP-8368: gas repricing stuff
and selfishly as a solo staker with abysmal uptime lately:
EIP-7716: lower penalties for uncorrelated missed attestations
F tier obviously:
EIP-8363: changes to eth issuance
Ethereum's next year's upgrade, Hegotá, is being scoped right now.
66 proposals are on the table and over the next few core dev calls, this list will be narrowed down to the EIPs that get implementations, devnets, testnets, and a realistic chance of shipping in 2027. What
