The "Scheduled for Inclusion" (SFI) status in Ethereum's upgrade process has been updated with a tighter definition to bring more clarity for developers building on upcoming network features. Under the updated definition, an EIP only reaches SFI if it meets four criteria: it's running in a devnet and stable, the spec is near-final, its interactions with other features are known, and it's thoroughly tested.

The full EIP pipeline runs from No status → Proposed (PFI) → Considered (CFI) → Scheduled (SFI) → Included. SFI is the last gate before a feature is locked into a hard fork. SFI status allows builders to start planning for new protocol features with reasonable confidence.

ETHConf lands in NYC June 8-10, bringing together 5,000+ attendees, 150+ speakers, and 100+ companies across Ethereum, stablecoins, and institutional adoption.
