Ethereum to launch native smart accounts in H2 2026 via Hegota and EIP-8141
Ethereum plans to introduce native smart accounts in the second half of 2026 through the Hegota upgrade. The proposal EIP-8141 would merge wallet and contract accounts, add gas fee flexibility, and embed programmable security. Hegota follows Glamsterdam in H1 2026 and may also ship FOCIL to curb validator-level censorship.
