There is breaking news from the Ethereum technical roadmap—by 2026, the network is expected to undergo a significant upgrade. The core highlight of this update is the launch of the Glamsterdam fork, which introduces several groundbreaking improvements long anticipated by the industry.

The upgrade focuses on introducing a parallel processing mechanism, meaning that multiple transactions can be executed simultaneously within a block, greatly increasing the network's transaction throughput. Additionally, the gas limit will be raised from the current level to 200 million, providing more computational space for on-chain applications. The addition of expanded data blocks further enhances data capacity, laying a foundation for complex applications within the ecosystem.

Most notably, progress in zero-knowledge proof solutions is expected—approximately 10% of the network traffic will gradually migrate to zero-knowledge shared Rollups, marking another exploration of Ethereum's scalability solutions. The rollout of this suite of upgrades reflects Ethereum's technical commitment to continuously optimizing performance while maintaining security and decentralization.
