Upcoming Upgrade: Ethereum's next hard fork, named Hegota, will follow the Glamsterdam upgrade in 2026, with its main improvement yet to be determined as development progresses.
Development Cycle: Ethereum is transitioning to a twice-yearly release cycle, with Glamsterdam expected in the first half of 2026 and Hegota later in the year, focusing on incremental improvements rather than major changes.
Focus Areas: Glamsterdam aims to enhance Layer 1 efficiency and decentralization, with proposals under review including proposer-builder separation and gas cost adjustments, while Hegota may incorporate longer-term roadmap items.
Long-term Roadmap: The naming of Hegota aligns with Ethereum's multi-stage technical roadmap, which includes phases for scalability and simplification, with potential integration of Verkle Trees to support node operation and reduce hardware requirements.
