According to The Block, the Ethereum Foundation’s Protocol Cluster has released a list of 62 EIP ratings for the upcoming Hegotá upgrade, setting December 2029 as the target milestone for achieving full quantum resistance. The two S-tier (must-deliver) proposals in the upgrade are: FOCIL (EIP-7805) on the consensus layer, which enhances censorship resistance by mandating the inclusion of public mempool transactions through validator committees; and Framed Transactions (EIP-8141) on the execution layer, which natively integrates account abstraction to support custom signatures, sponsored gas, and batched operations, improving both security and quantum resistance. The Ethereum Foundation stated that this timeline aligns with independent migration goals from Google, Cloudflare, and Microsoft, and the December 2029 deadline will be considered immutable prior to January 2027. Hegotá is not the final quantum-safe fork, but rather a critical milestone determining whether subsequent upgrades can proceed on schedule. From the Glamsterdam upgrade in Q4 2026 to December 2029, the average fork cycle is only about 7.2 months, leaving extremely limited execution buffer.

Summary
Ethereum news emerged as the Ethereum Foundation Protocol Cluster released 62 EIP ratings for the Hegotá blockchain upgrade. The target for full quantum resistance is December 2029. Two mandatory proposals—FOCIL (EIP-7805) and EIP-8141—focus on censorship resistance and account abstraction. The timeline aligns with major tech firms’ migration goals, with the 2029 deadline set before 2027. Hegotá is a key step in Ethereum’s quantum-safe roadmap. From Q4 2026 to 2029, the average fork cycle is 7.2 months.
