Hegotá planning shifts from faster slots toward security choices
The Quick Slots authors withdrew their Hegotá proposal. Post-quantum key registration remains a discussion item, rather than an activated Ethereum capability.
The official record for the November 12 Ethereum consensus call captures a concrete scope change: Barnabé Monnot, an author and champion of Quick Slots, withdrew the feature from Hegotá. The agenda also brought post-quantum material registration forward for discussion.
Those are different kinds of progress. Removing a timing proposal narrows the work under consideration; discussing future keys does not decide the signature scheme, transition architecture or activation date. The same thread contains competing ideas about how to test post-quantum aggregation, which reinforces that important design choices remain open.
For application teams, the useful response is to separate roadmap signals from integration requirements. Keep track of client specifications and accepted upgrade scope before changing signing or operational assumptions. Security prioritization deserves attention, but this meeting record is not evidence that Ethereum has already migrated its consensus cryptography or canceled every other feature.
