Hegota Upgrade: Prioritizing Censorship Resistance, Speed, and Account Abstraction

Ether Labs has proposed prioritizing censorship resistance, fast block generation, and native account abstraction in Hegota, the upcoming network upgrade for Ethereum. The main items proposed include EIP-7805 FOCIL, EIP-8198 Quick Slots, EIP-8141 Frame Transactions, EIP-8131, and EIP-8279. EIP-7805 describes a structure that creates a transaction inclusion list through a validator committee, aiming to reduce the issues of block builders delaying or excluding specific transactions. Hegota is in the planning stage, with the Ethereum Foundation set to first select key features and proceed with the proposal process for non-key EIPs. EIP-8198 includes a plan to change the slot time to a runtime setting and reduce the slot duration. Native account abstraction is a proposal through EIP-8141 to make transaction validation, execution, and gas payment structures more flexible. Layer 1 scalability items include EIP-8131 and EIP-8279, with EIP-8131 suggesting a method to limit block size by applying a consistent cost basis to bytes controlled by users within transactions. Although this proposal has not finalized the inclusion of features, it demonstrates that Ethereum development discussions are narrowing down to censorship resistance, user-perceived speed, wallet usability, and Layer 1 capacity.
