Ethereum promises quantum resistance by 2029 The Ethereum Foundation has identified the key proposals for the upcoming Hegotá upgrade. The organization has set December 2029 as the deadline for Ethereum to achieve full protection against threats posed by quantum computers. According to The Block, the EF Protocol team evaluated 62 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) being considered for Hegotá. On the consensus layer, the key proposal will be FOCIL — Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists (EIP-7805). The mechanism is designed to strengthen Ethereum’s censorship resistance by allowing a group of validators to require the inclusion of valid transactions from the public mempool. This should reduce the risk of a dominant block builder being able to selectively exclude users’ transactions. On the execution layer, Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) received must-ship status. It is intended to make account abstraction native to Ethereum while improving network security and its readiness for quantum threats. The proposal would split transactions into programmable stages responsible for validation, gas payment, and execution. This would allow wallets to use custom signature schemes, pay fees on behalf of users, and bundle multiple actions without relying on third-party operators. The Ethereum Foundation called the safe rollout of these two mechanisms and testing how they work together the main engineering challenge for Hegotá. Which other proposals could make it into the upgrade A-tier proposals are expected to be included alongside the core changes unless developers are forced to reduce the scope of the upgrade. They include VOPS Profiles for FOCIL Eligibility (EIP-8369), which is linked to FOCIL, as well as Keyed Nonces (EIP-8250) and Recent Roots (EIP-8272), which complement Frame Transactions. B-tier proposals will be considered individually, while C-tier proposals have been assigned a lower priority. Developers have already declined to include another 28 EIPs in Hegotá.
