Ethereum's 'Glamsterdam' Upgrade Accelerates Ahead of 2026 Launch
- Significant Upgrade Progress: The latest technical brief from the Ethereum Foundation indicates that the core objectives of the Glamsterdam upgrade have largely been achieved, including raising the minimum consensus limit to 200 million gas, ensuring stable operation of the ePBS process, and successfully defining EIP-8037 parameters, laying a solid foundation for the mainnet upgrade in 2026.
- Transaction Capacity Boost: The upgrade will increase the block gas limit from the current 60 million to 200 million, theoretically expected to enhance the network's transaction capacity to 10,000 TPS, marking the largest performance increase since the Ethereum Merge, potentially attracting more users and developers.
- Architectural Optimization Measures: To address data growth and node load, significant architectural changes will be implemented, including the deployment of Verkle Trees and a “state expunging” mechanism that will remove data older than one year, stored by decentralized storage solutions and archive nodes, thereby controlling hardware requirements for validator nodes.
- Increased Fee Competition: The anticipated reduction in mainnet data settlement costs is projected to decrease rollup fees by approximately 70%, intensifying competition among major L2 solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base, further solidifying Ethereum's position as a secure consensus layer while promoting fee competition in high-frequency, low-cost transactions.
