Hegotá Ethereum Upgrade Timeline

The Ethereum Foundation outlined the tentative timeline for Hegotá, the second Ethereum upgrade in 2026, following Glamsterdam. The proposal period for Headliner EIPs, which provide flagship features that define the upgrade's scope, will open January 8, 2026. There is typically only one headliner EIP per layer. Core developers will discuss Headliner EIP candidates starting with the February 5th ACD call, aiming for a final selection by February 26th. Then, a 30-day window will follow for non-headliner EIPs. FOCIL (EIP-7805), a censorship-resistance feature deferred from Glamsterdam, is already considered for inclusion in Hegotá.

Fileverse Introduces Social ZKovery

Fileverse, an onchain file-sharing platform, introduced Social ZKovery, a new account recovery mechanism. Social ZKovery is privacy-enhancing and serverless, leveraging Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs and smart contracts, to allow users to regain access to their Fileverse account. To set it up, users add two trusted individuals to their recovery set; in the event of lost access, both individuals must act to initiate the recovery. The feature is now live across dDocs and dSheets products.

L2Beat Outlines Ethereum Interop Layer

L2Beat outlined the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), a proposal designed to unify Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem into a single, cohesive user experience. By making the user the primary executor of transactions, the EIL design prioritizes security and eliminates the need for trusted intermediaries like the solvers and relayers. The EIL provides greater censorship resistance, improved liveness, and overall safety. It also introduces cross-chain Liquidity Providers (XLPs), which replace traditional relayers by supplying liquidity directly to destination smart contracts. L2BEAT is developing its new interoperability risk framework, noting that the EIL may be one of the first designs likely to achieve a perfect safety rating.

Spire Launches The Human Appchain

Spire Labs, cLabs, and Self Protocol introduced The Human Appchain on Celo, a synchronous composability appchain that allows applications to verify human identity natively. Synchronous composability enables apps to instantly view and interact with shared data during a single transaction, removing the need for multiple steps. A demo is now live, allowing users to mint a commemorative Human NFT verifying their identity. The Human App aims to serve as an identity layer, unlocking bot-resistant experiences for airdrops, DeFi, and stablecoins. The app leverages Spire’s Pylon platform and Self Protocol’s Proof of Humanity protocol.
