Ethereum halts Hegotá security proposal

Developers left the upgrade’s broader consensus design undecided during the Nov. 12 All Core Devs Consensus call.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Market Structure

Ethereum developers withdrew a proposal for faster blocks from Hegotá as they debated accelerating quantum-resistant security, but left key aspects of the upgrade’s scope unresolved, according to The Defiant.

The Nov. 12 All Core Devs Consensus call moved Quick Slots from “considered” to “declined” and accepted a proposal to let validators discuss post-quantum keys,without committing to implementation.

Researcher Christine D. Kim described the uncertainty as “development is on pause rn until devs figure out their new direction,” while the call transcript shows work continuing on Glamsterdam’s gas-repricing changes.

FOCIL and Frame Transactions remain contested elements of the upgrade, with developers still deciding whether to adapt Gasper to quantum-resistant signatures or adopt a redesigned consensus system.
