Ethereum Foundation confirms two mandatory EIPs for the Homestead upgrade

TechFlow reports that on September 8, Cointelegraph noted that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) has confirmed EIP-7805 (FOCIL) and EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) as mandatory proposals for the Hegotá upgrade. This marks them as core changes to the consensus and execution layers, with the EF stating that if either proposal faces obstacles, the upgrade should be delayed rather than canceled.

FOCIL aims to provide users with decentralized transaction packaging mechanisms, reducing reliance on centralized block builders and thereby enhancing the network's censorship resistance. Meanwhile, EIP-8141 will introduce native account abstraction features and post-quantum authentication pathways, potentially offering underlying protocol support for privacy applications.
