ETH Ethereum developers begin screening 66 proposals for Hegotá upgrades in 2027
Core developers are working to reduce the large list of Ethereum improvement proposals before the next major hard fork of the Ethereum network. According to reports, Ethereum developers are reviewing 66 proposals related to the next major upgrade to the network (code-named Hegotá). The upgrade is planned for 2027, continuing Ethereum's tradition of naming hard forks after previous developer conferences.
The proposal screening process is a standard but labor-intensive stage of the Ethereum upgrade cycle. Each hard fork starts with a huge pool of Ethereum improvement proposals submitted by researchers, client teams and community members. Developers then screen these proposals based on technical readiness, security review, and fit with the network's long-term roadmap.
The 66 proposals are a fairly large initial pool for any single upgrade. Past Ethereum hard forks, including Dencun and Pectra, have gone through similar integration stages before developers finally identified a much smaller set of final changes. The Hegotá upgrade seems to follow the same pattern, with core developers currently working to reduce the list of proposals to manageable levels.
Ethereum's upgraded naming convention connects each fork to the city where a Devconnect or Devcon event was held. This naming method helps developers and observers track the order of network changes without relying on version numbers. Hegotá follows this tradition, but the specific technical content of the upgrade is still under discussion.
The size of the proposals under review reflects the breadth of research underway within the Ethereum ecosystem. During the recent upgrade cycle, areas of active network development include capacity expansion improvements, data availability, verifier economics, and account abstraction. It is expected that only some of all 66 proposals will eventually be selected for Hegotá upgrades, and developers will often defer many ideas until subsequent forks.
The Core Developer Conference (often referred to as the All Core Devs Conference) is the primary venue for making these decisions. Client teams representing the Ethereum execution and consensus layers express their opinions on technical feasibility and testing timelines at these meetings. The screening process for the Hegotá upgrade is expected to continue through multiple meetings before the final proposal list is confirmed.
Market Impact
Such upgrade planning stages typically have limited impact on Ethereum market prices because these changes are still years away from activation. However, the process sends a signal to developers, validators and institutional participants about the network's technological direction in 2027.
Market participants following Ethereum's long-term roadmap may view the scope of the proposals under review as a measure of Hegotá's upgrade ambition. A larger final feature set may affect development timelines, while a narrower scope may mean a shorter path to mainnet activation.
The screening process for Hegotá upgrades marks an early but important step in the next major upgrade of Ethereum. As core developers continue to discuss in the coming months, it will become clearer which proposals will pass the review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hegotá upgrade for Ethereum?
Hegotá is the code name for the hard fork Ethereum plans to conduct in 2027, continuing the tradition of the network hosting city names and upgrades after developers conferences.
Why are there 66 proposals under review?
Ethereum upgrades usually start with a large pool of Ethereum improvement proposals submitted by developers and researchers, and then screened by the core team based on readiness and priority.
Will all 66 proposals be included in the final upgrade?
No. In past Ethereum hard forks, the initial list was significantly reduced before the activated changeset was finally confirmed.
When is the Hegotá upgrade expected to start?
Reports show that the Hegotá upgrade target time is 2027, but the specific scope and timetable depend on the results of the ongoing proposal review.
