A H-star name is needed for the Consensus Layer upgrade after Glamsterdam (EIP-7773: Hardfork Meta - Amsterdam).
Assumes a cross layer upgrade combined with the Execution Layer upgrade (Bogotá)
The consensus layer uses star names for upgrades whilst the execution layer uses Devcon cities.
See: Post-Merge Network Upgrade Naming Schemes
Recent upgrade names:
Shapella (Shanghai + Capella)
Dencun (Cancun + Deneb)
Pectra (Prague + Electra)- Fusaka (Fulu + Osaka)
- Glamsterdam (Gloas + Amsterdam)
Assuming a cross layer upgrade, any H-star name will be combined with the execution layer name Bogotá in a portmanteau (Portmanteau generator), so any name choice should also consider this.
(Apologies if I am stepping on the process for selecting star upgrade names, I’m not a core dev)
