EF Protocol Publishes Hegotá EIP Tier List Covering 62 Proposals

The Ethereum Foundation Protocol cluster published its first unified opinion post and tier list for the Hegotá upgrade on September 7, 2026. The assessment covers 62 proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposals, or EIPs.

The list places proposals into S, A, B, C, DFI and TBD categories. It presents the cluster’s view of which changes should be included in the planned upgrade and which require more work or should not be included.

EIP-7805, known as FOCIL, and EIP-8141, known as Frame Transactions, were named S-tier must-ship items. The post also lists 15 proposals at A tier as expected to ship.

The publication does not treat every proposal as ready for inclusion. It says 28 proposals were declined, while several others remain dependent on technical prototypes, further specification work, ecosystem analysis or mainnet data following Glamsterdam.

A unified view of Hegotá proposals

The tier list consolidates the Protocol cluster’s assessment of candidate EIPs for Hegotá into one published framework. Its scope extends beyond the proposals selected for the highest tiers, including items that remain unresolved and those the cluster does not support for the upgrade.

The S-tier designations put FOCIL and Frame Transactions at the top of the cluster’s stated priorities. A further 15 proposals are identified as A-tier items expected to ship, creating a larger proposed package while preserving a distinction between must-ship and expected work.

• S tier: EIP-7805 (FOCIL) and EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions), described as must-ship items.
• A tier: 15 proposals identified as expected to ship.
• The complete assessment covers 62 proposed EIPs.

What remains outside the proposed package

The post says that 28 proposals were declined for inclusion. That figure underscores that the tier list is a selection exercise rather than a catalogue of every change proposed for Hegotá.

Other proposals have not reached a final inclusion decision. According to the Protocol cluster, their status may depend on prototypes, settled specifications, analysis of ecosystem effects or data collected after Glamsterdam reaches mainnet.

Those dependencies mean the published list is a statement of current protocol priorities, not a guarantee that every item outside the declined group will be added later. Further technical and ecosystem work will determine whether conditional proposals progress.

• 28 proposals were declined for inclusion.
• Some candidates require prototypes before a decision can advance.
• Other candidates depend on specification work, ecosystem-impact analysis or post-Glamsterdam mainnet data.

How the list frames upgrade planning

By separating must-ship proposals, expected proposals, lower-tier candidates and unresolved items, the Hegotá EIP tier list provides a public view of the Protocol cluster’s current preferences. The structure may help readers distinguish between changes receiving strong support and proposals still awaiting evidence or implementation progress.

The assessment arrives amid continuing discussion of how blockchain systems organize and evolve their technical components. For related context, see Blockchain Is Splitting Apart — Modular Networks Are Rewriting the Rules and Blockchain Adoption Is Growing — But Fewer Users Know They’re Using It.

The Ethereum Foundation post is an opinion list from the Protocol cluster. Its categories communicate that group’s assessment of the Hegotá candidate set at publication, while the conditional items remain subject to the work identified in the post.
