Vitalik Buterin Charts Censorship-Resistant Ethereum Future with FOCIL Upgrade Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin outlined a roadmap for a 'cypherpunk principled' upgrade layer that boosts censorship resistance, zero-knowledge proofs, and leaner consensus, potentially transitioning the entire network in about five years. Developers confirmed FOCIL (EIP-7805) for the late 2026 Hegota upgrade, where random validator committees force-include key transactions to counter MEV censorship risks. This follows upgrades like Glamsterdam and builds on Ethereum's resilient history, including the Merge that cut energy use by 99%, aiming to keep the network decentralized amid layer-2 growth and institutional pressures.
