[Ethereum Developers Remove Quick Slots from Hegotá Upgrade] According to The Defiant, Ethereum developers removed Quick Slots from consideration for the Hegotá upgrade at their core developer consensus meeting on November 12th, while discussing accelerating work on quantum-resistant security. The proposal aimed to reduce slot times from 12 seconds to 10 seconds. Developers agreed to discuss a proposal allowing validators and block builders to register quantum-resistant public keys, but have not yet committed to implementation. FOCIL remains on the upgrade list, and its compatibility with quantum-resistant cryptography requires further investigation; developers have also not yet decided whether to adjust the existing Gasper consensus protocol or switch to a redesigned quantum-resistant consensus system. Researcher Christine D. Kim stated that development is paused until the developers determine a new direction; the report points out that this does not mean all development work has stopped, and gas repricing work on Glamsterdam is still ongoing.
