Summary
The Ethereum Foundation has shared its 2026 protocol update roadmap, focusing on scalability, user experience, and L1 security. Key goals include expanding L1 execution through blob expansion, raising the Gas Limit to 100M or higher, and advancing ePBS and blob parameters. The network upgrade, Glamsterdam, is scheduled for early 2026, followed by Hegotá later in the year. Work on native account abstraction, cross-chain interoperability, and post-quantum security also remains a priority.
