Ethlabs recommends faster blocks, stronger censorship resistance, native account abstraction, and continued L1 scaling for Hegotá upgrade

Ethlabs, an eight-week-old non-profit R&D lab, says FOCIL (EIP-7805) is already confirmed as the upgrade's headliner, with three Ethlabs members among its co-authors. Its top additional priority is EIP-8198 Quick Slots, rated S-tier, proposing a one-time slot-time refactor plus a first decrease from 12 to 10 seconds in Hegotá, with further cuts in later forks. It cites faster confirmations, fresher onchain prices, faster finality, and stronger censorship resistance, and addresses pushbacks including zkEVM proving overhead and the post-quantum transition. Most other EIPs remain at the permissionless Proposed-for-Inclusion stage.
