Ethereum's next major upgrade "Hegotá" is taking shape - they've narrowed down 66 proposals with a clear focus on privacy enhancements.
Key confirmed feature: FOCIL (censorship resistance mechanism) is locked in.
This matters because privacy has been ETH's weak spot vs competitors. If Hegotá delivers on censorship resistance + better privacy primitives, it could shift the narrative around $ETH as "just a settlement layer."
Watch this space - privacy upgrades typically drive developer interest in new use cases (DeFi privacy, private transfers, etc). Could be a catalyst for ETH ecosystem growth beyond just L2 scaling.
