Ethereum’s ‘Hegota’ Upgrade Planned for Late 2026
- Ethereum developers have named the upcoming upgrade ‘Hegota,’ scheduled for the second half of 2026.
- ‘Hegota’ will follow the ‘Glamsterdam’ upgrade, expected in the first half of the same year.
- This marks a shift towards more frequent upgrades, responding to community feedback about development speed.
- Initial discussions suggest potential features for Hegota may include Verkle Trees, improving data storage efficiency for Ethereum nodes.
- The name ‘Hegota’ combines elements from previous upgrades, following Ethereum’s naming convention.
The decision to accelerate Ethereum’s upgrade schedule reflects a commitment to meet growing network demands and enhance decentralization through improved node operation efficiency.
With ‘Hegota’ set for late in the year and ‘Glamsterdam’ anticipated earlier, Ethereum aims to implement significant improvements in protocol functionality and performance.(Source)
