Ethereum developers earlier this month agreed on the name and rough timing of the network’s second major upgrade scheduled for 2026, settling on “Hegota” as the next milestone in the blockchain’s development roadmap.
Hegota will follow “Glamsterdam,” Ethereum’s next major upgrade, which is currently expected to roll out in the first half of 2026.
The decision reflects a relatively new approach to Ethereum development, with core contributors aiming to ship network changes more frequently rather than bundling large numbers of upgrades into releases that happen roughly once a year.
As with past upgrades, the name “Hegota” follows Ethereum’s convention of combining a Devcon host city with a star name. In this case, the name is derived from “Bogota,” the execution layer upgrade, and “Heze,” the consensus layer upgrade.
