Ethereum Weighs 66 Hegotá Proposals With Privacy Tools in Focus

Ethereum’s next major upgrade is entering the stage where a long wish list must become a realistic engineering plan.

Developers are reviewing 66 proposals for Hegotá, with several draft changes aimed at making advanced wallets and privacy applications less dependent on external relayers.

Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter said on August 16 that core developer calls will narrow the list to proposals that can receive implementations, development networks, testnets, and a realistic chance of shipping in 2027.

Frame Transactions Could Change Wallet Design The central proposal is EIP-8141, Frame Transactions. It would split a transaction into frames that validate authorization, approve gas payment, and execute user actions.
