> The roadmap includes FOCIL, EIP-8288, consensus changes, state management updates and privacy-focused mempool improvements.

Ethereum’s future architecture will combine blockchain technology with modern cryptography, with post-Hegota plans aimed at enabling stronger features across the network.

The roadmap includes FOCIL and EIP-8288, along with a simplified consensus layer and changes to state management. It also includes work on formal verification, a method used to mathematically check whether systems behave as intended.

Ethereum’s mempool is set for further improvements that include privacy features. Longer-term work will focus on obfuscation technology.

The plans describe Ethereum evolving beyond being just a blockchain into a hybrid architecture that combines blockchain technology with modern cryptography.
