In 2026, Ethereum will undergo the Glamsterdam fork, increasing the gas limit to 200 million and enabling perfect parallel processing. Validators will shift to verifying zero-knowledge proofs, setting the stage for 10,000 TPS and enhanced layer 2 scaling capabilities.

The upcoming Glamsterdam hard fork will introduce Block Access Lists and Enshrined Proposer Builder Separation, enhancing Ethereum’s blockchain efficiency. The separation of block builders and proposers aims to improve security and decentralization, while also preparing Ethereum for the transition to ZK technology.

Ethereum’s gas limit is set to increase significantly in 2026, with estimates ranging from 100 million to potentially 300 million gas per block. The shift to delayed execution and improvements in scalability will enable higher gas limits and further enhance Ethereum’s transaction throughput.

The Heze-Bogota fork in 2026 will focus on enhancing censorship resistance and empowering validators to include specific transactions in each block. While not primarily focused on scaling, this fork will contribute to Ethereum’s core values of decentralization and security. Stay tuned for more insights on scaling with ZK-proofs.
