Ethereum developers vetoed listing "block trading" as a key focus of the Hegota upgrade, and Vitalik's endorsement failed to have an effect.

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum developers decided in a virtual meeting on Thursday not to list “frame transactions” as a key proposal for the Hegota upgrade expected to launch in the second half of 2026, despite Vitalik Buterin’s public support. Client developers believe the complexity of the proposal is too high and worry it will delay the upgrade process.

Frame transactions aim to introduce native account abstraction and quantum resistance to Ethereum, providing users with a login experience similar to traditional networks and supporting fee-less transactions. Supporters warn that if it is not prioritized, native account abstraction may be difficult to achieve in the long term. The first confirmed key proposal for Hegota is FOCIL, which aims to enhance the network’s censorship resistance. Frame transactions have ultimately been marked as “considered for inclusion” and will continue to be reviewed as a non-priority proposal in subsequent meetings.
