Ethereum Locks In FOCIL for 2026, Shifts $6.8M ETH to Staking💥🔥
Ethereum has locked in the FOCIL plan, which further empowers censorship resistance, and will be part of the Hegota upgrade in the latter half of 2026.
This move is aimed at centralized block builders by essentially compelling validators to include certain transactions, thus making the base layer more resistant to filtering.
Executing FOCIL...
Confirming FOCIL: EIP, 7805 will mandate transaction inclusion, thus ending the builder censorship monopolies.Pivoting to Treasury Staking: The Ethereum Foundation has converted 2, 016 ETH ($6.8M) into staking contracts and has set a target of 70, 000 ETH for yield generation.Upgrade Schedule: The Hegota upgrade is planned for the second half of 2026, following the Pectra and Glamsterdam upgrades.Vitalik Buterin, supported FOCIL proposal is targeting to make censorship not only harder from a technical perspective but also more expensive.
A move to staking by the Ethereum Foundation treasury reduces the overhang of selling pressure in the market over the long haul and at the same time, it indicates a well, controlled treasury approach.
Wondering how FOCIL would impact Ethereum's censorship resistance or the Hegota upgrade schedule?
