On December 21, Ethereum developers successfully completed the Fusaka upgrade and reduced node costs. They have now begun to fully plan the "Glamsterdam" upgrade, targeted for 2026. The name "Glamsterdam" is a combination of two upgrades happening simultaneously on the Ethereum core layers. The execution layer (where transaction rules and smart contracts reside) will undergo the Amsterdam upgrade, while the consensus layer (which coordinates validators and finalizes blocks) will undergo the Gloas upgrade. The core of this upgrade is the separation of proposer builder (ePBS) and block-level access control lists, which can reduce opportunities for manipulation and abuse related to maximum extractable value (MEV).
