🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨
Glamsterdam goes live on Hoodi on Monday!
This is the second and final testnet fork before mainnet, following Sepolia on October 6. Once Hoodi forks smoothly, the next step is setting a mainnet date.

Glamsterdam on Hoodi, scheduled for Monday October 26, has been postponed. No new date has been set yet.
This is what testnets are for. Core developers found something worth a closer look, and catching it before mainnet is the process working as intended.
We will share the new date and livestream once they are set.
The livestream starts in 10 minutes!
Glamsterdam forks on Sepolia at 13:53 UTC.

The first Ethereum testnet forks to Glamsterdam tomorrow!
A smooth fork will be followed by a fork to Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet, then mainnet. After this fork, we'll have a pretty good idea of when we're going live on mainnet.
The headliners are enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS, EIP-7732) and block-level access lists (BAL, EIP-7928), and some other highlights are an increase in the max contract size and faster consolidation queues.

big event in ethereum land today:
1️⃣ frame txs confirmed as a headliner for hegota (the upgrade following glamsterdam)
2️⃣ client teams presented their EIP preferences, then immediately began whittling down the list of candidates. future meetings will identify which to CFI
⚡ ACDE #245 - ultra tl;dr:
→ 8141 (frame tx) confirmed as a Hegota headliner, alongside 7805 (FOCIL) 🏆
→ first 14 DFI decisions made: 7819, 7851, 2488, 8219, 8182, 7645, 7923, 8200, 8188, 8358, 8115, 7862, 7807, 8094 🪓

Following up on our execution EIP tier list, we wanted to share our combined execution and consensus rankings for Hegota. We've followed the same EF Protocol scoring system and tier definitions for both lists.
We'd also like to make a special mention of the post-quantum-ready deposit contract proposal. It didn't make it onto the Hegota EIP selection list, but we think proposals like this one should be included in the fork to prepare validator deposits for future post-quantum credentials.
We'll expand on our thoughts about Hegota and the reasoning behind our rankings in the blog post we're preparing.
Over the last few months, we've been working with EF researchers and EIP authors on Hegota proposals, implementing them in ethrex and opening our public testnets to users and other client teams.
We wanted to share our execution EIP tier list, which follows the EF Protocol team's scoring system and tier definitions. After spending these months building and testing several of these proposals, we're excited to contribute to the discussion of what should come next for Ethereum.
We'll also share our consensus EIP tier list soon, as part of a blog post where we'll expand on our thoughts about Hegota.

We believe Ethereum upgrades could benefit from a tick-tock cadence.
Glamsterdam is the big upcoming "tick": ambitious, complex, and feature-heavy. With it shipping shortly, we think Hegotá should be the shorter "tock" focused on maintenance, cleaning up technical debt, and making a few targeted improvements ahead of the next major upgrade.
Alongside FOCIL, we favor proposals with clear near-term benefits and low implementation and testing complexity. More ambitious changes should wait for the next "tick".
Our consensus-layer EIP rankings are below. For more details on the reasoning behind each ranking, read the linked article 👇

We reviewed all 60+ EIPs proposed for Hegotá and updated our view on what Ethereum should prioritize.
Our rankings follow four themes:
1. Stronger censorship resistance: Ethereum can only become a settlement layer for everyone if it stays neutral toward everyone. We strongly support FOCIL.
2. Faster Ethereum: Shorter slots mean faster confirmations, fresher onchain prices, and faster finality. We strongly recommend Quick Slots to make a first reduction in Hegotá and further reductions easier in subsequent forks.
3. Native account abstraction: Ethereum is long-due for native AA. Frame Transactions bring passkey wallets, sponsored transactions, gas paid in tokens, batching, and better support for privacy and post-quantum security. Adoption will take work across wallets, L2s, and the rest of the stack, and we intend to keep helping with that.
4. Performance engineering: continued L1 scaling & a faster Ethereum. Performance should remain a first-class concern in both client work and protocol design. The gains can go toward more capacity, shorter slots, lower node requirements, or all three.
Thanks to everyone who put forward proposals and helped us work through them. We’ll keep updating our view as client and testing teams assess the work involved.

✨ so proud ✨
Native AA on Ethereum ⚡
Frames Breakout Call #4 - tl;dr:
→ test specs v0.3.0 release
→ 3 clients ready for frames-devnet-0: @ethrex_client, @nethermind, @go_ethereum
→ devnet date pending, but @ethrex_client testnet unlocks immediate interop testing

my hegotá ranking 😎
Forkcast is shipping a steady stream of updates:
Rank page:
⇥ Click any EIP number to open its details without leaving the page.
⇥ Download your tier list as an image or copy a link to share it (thanks @casparschwa).
⇥ EIPs are now grouped into categories, to help parse the long list (thanks @nero_eth).
The last of the proposals are making their way onto the rank page now. Anyone is welcome to rank EIPs and share their tier list to contribute to the conversation and help inform what ships in Hegotá (expected 2027).
forkcast.org/rank
EIP champions: add context (benefits, tradeoffs, faq, resources) to your EIP in forkcast, so reviewers can better understand and advocate for your proposal.
Also shipped: forkcast.org/networks now includes Platåberget, the first public Glamsterdam testnet, and relevant @ethpandaops tooling. Global search is also live across the site.
Reach out with feedback, feature requests, or help with champion support.
