Ethereum’s Hegotá Upgrade: What Is Planned and What Remains Open
Ethereum’s next major upgrade is still in planning. The network roadmap currently points to Q2 2027, while developers continue to shape which proposals make the release.
Hegotá is the planned upgrade after Glamsterdam. Ethereum.org currently labels it as being in planning and gives Q2 2027 as the expected mainnet window, while noting that the date is not confirmed.
One of the proposals identified as a headliner is FOCIL (EIP-7805). In broad terms, it is intended to make it harder for block builders to consistently exclude valid transactions. That is a design goal, not a guarantee of how every transaction will be handled.
For users and application teams, the practical takeaway is to treat the roadmap as provisional: upgrade scope and timing can change as client teams review proposals and test them. Follow the official roadmap before making deployment plans.
