Twelve contributors from nine teams produced 397 tier grades. FOCIL (EIP-7805) and Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) are locked-in S-tier headliners; 15 EIPs are expected to ship (S/A), 28 are declined with stated rationale (DFI), 8 sit in B-tier pending specific requirements, 7 are below the line in C-tier, and 2 remain TBD pending post-Glamsterdam mainnet data. The post explains the scoring methodology, tier delivery commitments, and rationale behind key decisions such as declining issuance-policy EIPs to a broader ecosystem process. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are the two must-ship headliner EIPs for the Ethereum Hegotá fork? The two must-ship headliners are EIP-7805 (FOCIL) and EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions). FOCIL gives any user a path to include an eligible transaction without relying on centralized builders and ships alongside EIP-8369. Frame Transactions brings native account abstraction for post-quantum signature readiness and ships with EIP-8250 and EIP-8272. _Track how these headliner EIPs progress toward Hegotá mainnet by following Ethereum protocol updates on daily.dev._ ### Why was EIP-8363 Tapered Issuance Burn declined for the Hegotá fork despite not being a rejection of its merits? EIP-8363 was unanimously marked DFI (declined for inclusion) not because of its technical merits but because issuance policy affects every staker, holder, and the network's long-run security budget, making a fork scoping exercise the wrong venue to decide it. The Ethereum Foundation Protocol cluster expects the topic to be carried forward through a broader multi-node ecosystem process instead. _Follow how Ethereum issuance policy debates unfold across ecosystem processes on daily.dev._ ### What four requirements would EIP-8198 Quick Slots need before being considered for A-tier in an Ethereum fork? EIP-8198 (Quick Slots) needs specifications covering all expected changes to the core protocol, a working prototype implementing that full specification, an in-depth assessment of downstream ecosystem effects, and sign-off confirming it does not complicate decoupled consensus, which can't be verified until the specification exists. Slot time is load-bearing for timing assumptions across the protocol, so the bar is set high. _Keep up with evolving EIP requirements like these when planning Ethereum protocol work via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [EF Protocol: Current and Emerging Priorities](https://daily.dev/posts/ef-protocol-current-and-emerging-priorities-goiyshudf) · Ethereum · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Checkpoint \#9: Apr 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/checkpoint-9-apr-2026-laorcirqw) · Ethereum · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Protocol Cluster Updates: May 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/protocol-cluster-updates-may-2026-a9md3yty7) · Ethereum · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#blockchain](https://daily.dev/tags/blockchain), [#ethereum](https://daily.dev/tags/ethereum), [#evm](https://daily.dev/tags/evm) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/ef-protocol-the-hegot-eip-opinion-post-and-tier-list-dyjtiipru) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"EF Protocol: The Hegotá EIP Opinion Post and Tier List","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/ef-protocol-the-hegot-eip-opinion-post-and-tier-list-dyjtiipru","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ef-protocol-the-hegot-eip-opinion-post-and-tier-list-dyjtiipru"},"datePublished":"2026-09-07T14:52:42.356Z","dateModified":"2026-09-07T15:04:33.922Z","description":"The Ethereum Foundation's Protocol cluster published a unified tier list evaluating 62 EIPs proposed for the Hegotá fork, replacing prior per-team opinion...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/60cd6d98149c34e57bf64f4f78e67f41?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/60cd6d98149c34e57bf64f4f78e67f41?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Ethereum","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Ethereum","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/881328ee52904833bc407acdbad603ee","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ethereum"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/ef-protocol-the-hegot-eip-opinion-post-and-tier-list-dyjtiipru","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"blockchain,ethereum,evm","timeRequired":"PT17M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Ethereum","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ethereum"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"EF Protocol: The Hegotá EIP Opinion Post and Tier List"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/ef-protocol-the-hegot-eip-opinion-post-and-tier-list-dyjtiipru#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the two must-ship headliner EIPs for the Ethereum Hegotá fork?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The two must-ship headliners are EIP-7805 (FOCIL) and EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions).
