TREE NEWS update: The Ethereum Foundation’s protocol team has released an EIP priority list for the Hegotá upgrade, setting a December 2029 target for quantum safety across execution, consensus, and data layers. FOCIL (EIP-7805) and Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) are marked as ‘must-include,’ enhancing censorship resistance and enabling native account abstraction, custom signatures, and gas sponsorship while improving post-quantum readiness.

AI take
This timeline signals that quantum resistance is moving from theoretical concern to concrete protocol engineering, with a hard date forcing coordinated changes across Ethereum's core layers. The pairing of FOCIL with frame transactions is notable because it links censorship resistance to post-quantum account flexibility, suggesting the upgrade aims to preserve user autonomy under future cryptographic shifts. The open question is whether a 2029 target proves realistic given Ethereum's historical upgrade pace, and whether other major networks will follow suit or diverge on quantum-readiness standards.
