Gate News, April 1, at the EthCC[9] conference, Ethereum Foundation researcher Jihoon Song introduced the progress of FOCIL (Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists, i.e., EIP-7805). He noted that currently more than 80% of Ethereum blocks are produced by a small number of builders, and the high centralization brings significant censorship risks. FOCIL aims to move the right to include transactions from a single builder to a decentralized committee of validators. FOCIL’s core process consists of three steps: for each Slot, 16 validators are randomly selected to form a committee. Members publish local inclusion lists based on their observations of the mempool. After the proposer aggregates these lists, validators vote to reject blocks that do not include transactions with valid lists. This means that resistance to censorship no longer depends on moral agreements, but is directly encoded into fork-choice rules. Compared with the earlier proposal, the committee mechanism significantly reduces the risks of bribery and extortion attacks, and provides native support for account abstraction (AA) and privacy protocols. Jihoon Song revealed that FOCIL has been identified as a core feature of Ethereum’s next major upgrades; most clients have completed prototype implementations, and the community is optimizing proof size and Gas efficiency to support future “GigaGas”-level scalability.
