[Vitalik: Hegota May Be Ethereum's Last 'Regular' Hard Fork Next Year] According to a report by BeInCrypto on September 28, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a personal blog post on September 27 that, based on the long-term roadmap Strawmap, the Hegota upgrade planned for next year is likely to be Ethereum's last 'regular' fork, with features and technology still recognizable to people from 2015. Afterward, work will shift toward recursive STARKs, automated formal verification, highly optimized consensus, and quantum security. He mentioned that Hegota is still in the early planning stages, with Ethereum's official website listing two proposed changes: FOCIL and framework transactions. The 2030 goals include block times of approximately 4-8 seconds, final confirmation in about 8-32 seconds, nodes transitioning to verifying cryptographic proofs, and adopting PeerDAS.
