Ethereum core developers have revealed plans to execute two major network upgrades in 2026, codenamed 'Glamsterdam' and 'Hegota.' This decision marks the blockchain network's continued strategic pivot toward a faster release cadence. The roadmap positions Glamsterdam for release in the first half of 2026, focusing on immediate scalability and efficiency fixes, primarily through gas optimizations and Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation. Hegota targets the latter half of 2026, combining execution-layer and consensus-layer changes.
