Happy Monday, August 17, 2026. Ethlabs and the Ethereum Foundation's Protocol Architecture team outline their priorities for Hegotá. The Platåberget testnet is open for developers. And Farcaster is looking for a new home. Ethlabs Hegotá Priorities Ethlabs, an independent Ethereum R&D lab, published its priority recommendations for Hegotá, Ethereum's next upgrade after Glamsterdam. Of 66 proposed EIPs across the execution and consensus layers, Ethlabs organized its focus around four themes: censorship resistance, network speed, native account abstraction, and L1 scaling. Its S-Tier rankings, strongly recommended for inclusion, include Quick Slots (EIP-8198), which reduces Ethereum's slot times from 12-second to 10-seconds, Data Repricing Bundle (EIP-8131), which extends transaction floor pricing to cover all transaction content bytes, including dynamically created Block Access List bytes (EIP-8279). Ethlabs A-Tier rankings, recommended for inclusion, include Frame Transactions (EIP-8141), which extends native account abstraction capabilities, Keyed Nonces for Frame Transactions (EIP-8250), which enable parallel transactions and cheaper nullifier storage for privacy protocols, and Block Access List Sidecars (EIP-8146), which improves propagation. Additional A-tier recommendations cover post quantum signature precompiles, staking cleanup, BLS retirement, EVM improvements, and P2P scaling. Ethlabs declined to assign a tier for the Tapered Issuance Burn (EIP-8363), stating issuance is a monetary policy question requiring broader community consensus rather than a core dev decision. It recommended 14 EIPs for rejection from Hegotá. EF Hegotá Priorities The Ethereum Foundation's Protocol Architecture team published its priority list for Hegotá EIPs. The team is focused on censorship resistance, native privacy, data and state repricing, and zkEVM preparation. FOCIL (EIP-7805) is the headliner proposal, already scheduled for inclusion. On the execution layer, the team is pushing Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) paired with Keyed Nonces (EIP-8250) and Recent Roots (EIP-8272). These EIPs remove the need for trusted relayers for pooled privacy protocols. Other EIPs on its recommendation list are Transaction Assertions (EIP-7906) and data and state repricing EIP-8131, EIP-8279, EIP-8368, and EIP-8146. On zkEVM preparation, the team is recommending Optional Execution Proofs (EIP-8025) The team also supported Quick Slots (EIP-8198) if there is no delay in the fork shipping time. Platåberget Testnet Is Open Platåberget, a short-lived public testnet for Glamsterdam, is now live and open for developers. Platåberget will activate the Glamsterdam hard fork on August 20th, allowing developers to test the transition. Glamsterdam will bring Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation, Block-Level Access Lists, Gas Repricings, Larger Contracts, and Forward-Compatible Consensus Data Structures. Anyone can now deposit a validator, deploy contracts, and test the upcoming changes. Developers hardcoding the gas limit in their contracts should expect breaking changes from gas repricing changes. Platåberget is intended to run for several months in the lead to Glamsterdam, which is anticipated to activate on mainnet in Q4 2026. Farcaster Looks For A New Home Neynar founder Rishav Mukherji announced the company is stepping back from running Farcaster, Clanker, and its own Neynar developer products, and is searching for a new team to take them over. Neynar will return its remaining balance sheet to investors and is winding down as a company. The current team members will move on to other projects. Rish cited a changing ecosystem as a reason for the wind down. Rish said running the full stack currently costs roughly $100,000 per month, down from a peak of about $500,000 per month, with further optimization seen as capable of bringing costs closer to $60,000 per month. The move comes as Avara, the parent company of Aave and Lens, handed off the Lens Protocol to Mask Network earlier this year. The industry as a whole has flocked away from consumer crypto.
