Treat The Considered List As A Menu And Not A Roadmap
Metal · 30 Oct 2026
A list of considered proposals can look like a roadmap, but reading it that way would be a mistake, and the Oct. 29, 2026 core developer call illustrates why.
Several ideas reached considered status, yet none is guaranteed a place in Hegotá.
What Is On The List
One proposal would bundle attestations before sending them. Another would align block retention with the rule for blob and historical data. A third would send execution payloads in chunks. A fourth would adjust related data handling.
What The Label Means
Considered means developers like the idea enough to study it. Client teams will decide whether to support building it.
What Could Happen
A proposal might be promoted to scheduled, moved to another upgrade or dropped. All outcomes are possible, and each depends on testing and support.
Signals Worth Watching
Client teams stating support is a good sign. Simulation results that hold up on test networks are another. Open questions that get resolved also matter.
Why Caution Is Wise
Counting on a considered proposal can lead to disappointment. Observers do better by waiting for scheduled status.
What Is Scheduled
Only the beacon state cleanup holds that status so far.
How To Compare Proposals
When a pair of proposals address similar goals, developers compare them on effort, benefit and effects on existing behavior. A simple idea with moderate benefit may beat a complex one with a larger promise. The considered list gives room for that comparison, since proposals can be studied side by side. This is part of why the stage exists, and why not every item is expected to advance.
Why Patience Pays
Waiting for scheduled status before relying on a proposal saves effort. Observers who follow only scheduled items see a cleaner picture, while those who track considered ones gain early warning of what may come. Either approach is reasonable, as long as readers remember that the considered list can change and that the label carries no promise.
A Practical Example
Suppose a pair of proposals both reduce traffic, and only one has client teams ready to build it. Developers would likely favor the supported one, even if the other has appeal on paper. That kind of practical reasoning explains many choices on the call, and it shows why support from builders carries so much weight in shaping the final list.
Hegotá remains an expectation of around mid-2027, with Glamsterdam aimed at late 2026 and no dates confirmed. Daily X Spaces on the Crypto Spaces Network invite the Doginal Dogs community to compare notes on considered proposals.
