Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter stated that the protocol architecture team hopes to prioritize the advancement of Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) and FOCIL (EIP-7805) in the Hegotá upgrade planned for 2027. Frame Transactions can collaborate with Keyed Nonces and Recent Roots (EIP-8272) and Transaction Assertions (EIP-7906) to allow privacy pools to autonomously pay transaction fees and enable wallets to set execution conditions after transaction submission.FOCIL can provide protocol layer inclusion guarantees for eligible transactions. Currently, FOCIL is the only proposal confirmed for inclusion in Hegotá, while the Frame Transactions-related proposals are among the 66 proposals under evaluation. Other candidate proposals involve transaction pricing, state growth, block access lists, and optional zkEVM proofs on the mainnet. Vitalik Buterin previously proposed enhancing Ethereum's privacy, quantum resistance, and reducing reliance on layer two networks. Hegotá will be launched after Glamsterdam, with developers planning to complete Glamsterdam by the end of 2026.

KOL Ansem (@blknoiz06) announced the launch of the first on-chain index z500 on Ansem.io. The protocol allows new project teams to airdrop a portion of their token supply to $ANSEM holders at the time of token issuance, and to demonstrate long-term alignment intentions by buying and burning $ANSEM, thereby improving their ranking on the z500 leaderboard. $ANSEM holders only need to hold one token to gain exposure to multiple successful projects through automatic airdrops.Ansem stated that Pump.fun solved the token creation problem but has yet to address the filtering and curation issues. z500 requires teams to invest value upfront (such as buying and burning $ANSEM) to enhance transparency and filter long-term projects, reducing bundled sell-offs and quick exits. The leaderboard will showcase teams that buy and burn the most $ANSEM and those with the best market performance of airdropped tokens. Ansem claims it will actively share the top projects on the list and noted that the market cap of $ANSEM has risen from about $200,000 to over $200 million since its takeover.This mechanism aims to flip the creator economy model, allowing brands to deliver value directly to $ANSEM holders instead of paying KOLs who might sell off, thus providing productized alignment marketing for quality teams while enhancing network effects.
