Summary
- Ethereum developers are weighing whether to include Frame Transactions in the 2027 Hegotá upgrade, a change that would let users customize how transactions are approved, executed and paid for.
- Together with two related proposals, Keyed Nonces and EIP-8272, Frame Transactions aims to reduce the outside infrastructure needed for private payments on the blockchain, while leaving ordinary ether (ETH) transfers as transparent as they are today.
- Only one change has been approved so far — a censorship-related measure called FOCIL — and core developers will decide in coming meetings which of the remaining 66 will advance.
