#Gate广场四月发帖挑战 Ethereum Foundation Researcher: FOCIL has been confirmed to be included in future major upgrades, directly encoding resistance to censorship into the consensus layer. Ethereum Foundation researcher Jihoon Song introduced the progress of FOCIL, also known as EIP-7805, at the EthCC conference. He pointed out that currently, over 80% of Ethereum blocks are produced by a small number of builders, leading to significant censorship risks due to high centralization. FOCIL aims to transfer transaction inclusion rights from a single builder to a decentralized validator committee.

The core process of FOCIL consists of three steps: each slot randomly selects 16 validators to form a committee; members publish local inclusion lists based on their observations of the mempool; proposers aggregate these lists, and validators vote to reject blocks that do not include transactions from the valid list. This means resistance to censorship is no longer based on moral commitments but is directly encoded into fork rules. Compared to previous schemes, the committee mechanism significantly reduces the risk of bribery and extortion attacks and provides native support for account abstraction (AA) and privacy protocols. Jihoon revealed that FOCIL has been identified as a core feature for Ethereum’s upcoming major upgrade. Most client implementations have completed prototype development, and the community is optimizing proof size and gas efficiency to support future scalability at the "GigaGas" level.
