Ethereum’s Glamsterdam Upgrade Targets Higher Gas Limits
- The Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade is in devnet planning with a mainnet target for H2 2026.
- EIP-7732 focuses on enshrined proposer-builder separation, addressing block-building centralization concerns.
- EIP-7928 introduces block-level access lists to improve execution predictability and throughput.
- The upgrade aims for a potential path to a significant increase in the gas limit, targeting up to a possible 200 million.
The Glamsterdam upgrade is crucial for Ethereum as it addresses long-standing issues of block production and execution capacity, focusing on decentralization and scalability improvements. The proposed changes could help manage higher throughput while maintaining network stability.
If successful, the Glamsterdam upgrade could significantly enhance Ethereum’s base-layer capacity without compromising its decentralization goals, marking a substantial evolution in its scaling strategy. (Source)
