Ethereum is preparing for what could become its biggest transformation since The Merge.
The upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade has officially entered its final testing phase, bringing together a series of changes designed to dramatically expand Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency.
Among the most important upgrades:
• Gas limit target increased from 60M to 200M per block
• Throughput ambitions reaching up to 10,000 TPS • Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) to reduce MEV-related centralization risks
• Block-Level Access Lists enabling more efficient and parallel transaction processing
• Potential fee reductions of up to 78.6%
The network is attempting to scale while preserving decentralization and security, a challenge few blockchains have managed to solve at scale.
If the current roadmap delivers as planned, Glamsterdam could fundamentally change how developers, users, rollups, and institutions interact with Ethereum.
We are living through a historic period for crypto infrastructure. Ethereum developers are working on upgrades that could reshape the network for the next decade.
