According to Blockbeats, Ethereum is set to undergo a major scalability upgrade in 2026 with the Glamsterdam fork. The update will introduce near-perfect parallel processing and increase the gas limit from 60 million to 200 million, enabling Layer 1 to scale toward 10,000 TPS or higher. Block size will also expand, allowing L2s to process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. ZKsync's recent Atlas upgrade enables fast execution while keeping funds on Layer 1, and future Ethereum interoperability layers aim to improve cross-chain operations and privacy.
