1. Ethereum to Implement Glamsterdam and Heze-Bogota Hard Forks in 2026
According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum plans to implement several major upgrades in 2026, including the Glamsterdam and Heze-Bogota hard forks, aimed at achieving L1 scaling and the application of Web3 technologies. The Glamsterdam hard fork is expected to launch in mid-2026, focusing on introducing "block access lists" and "built-in proposer-builder separation" (ePBS), which will enhance transaction processing speed and block generation efficiency, while providing more time for zero-knowledge proof validation. The gas limit is expected to increase from 60 million to between 100 million and 200 million, with the number of data blocks increasing to over 72 per block, supporting hundreds of thousands of transactions per second on L2. The Heze-Bogota hard fork at the end of the year will focus on optimizing privacy protection and censorship resistance. Developers have named the subsequent upgrade to Glamsterdam as "Hegota." -Original
