Ethereum Foundation releases Hegotá upgrade EIP ratings, targets quantum-resistant L1 by 2029

The formal triage of 62 EIPs signals a deliberate narrowing of scope for Hegotá, with S-level designations for FOCIL and Frame Transactions underscoring a priority on censorship resistance and account abstraction as near-term architectural bets. The explicit rejection of issuance-policy proposals suggests the upgrade is being framed as a technical, not monetary, milestone, which could shape community expectations around protocol governance. The 2029 quantum-resistance target places Hegotá as a pivotal dependency, making the acceptance of Frame Transactions—with its upgrade path for quantum-safe signatures—a critical enabler. Whether the A-level proposals survive implementation without downgrades, and how the rejected issuance items resurface in future forks, will be key signals for L1 trajectory.
