What's coming next for Ethereum? Glamsterdam—the network's anticipated upgrade targeting 2026—is set to introduce significant protocol-level improvements.



The upgrade roadmap includes two major innovations: enshrined proposer-builder separation (ePBS) and block-level access lists. These changes aim to enhance network architecture and validator efficiency.

ePBS will fundamentally reshape how block production operates, while access lists at the block level offer refined transaction organization. Both represent meaningful evolution in Ethereum's infrastructure design.

With 2026 on the horizon, the ecosystem should begin preparing for these changes. Understanding what Glamsterdam brings to the table becomes crucial for developers, validators, and network participants looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Is 2026 still far away? It feels a bit too ahead of its time to discuss these now... However, if ePBS can truly be implemented, the issue of builder monopoly might gradually be alleviated.

ePBS might sound complicated, but it's really just a redistribution of responsibilities. It's still early for 2026, so what's there to worry about?

ePBS sounds good, but we'll have to wait two more years until 2026. Let's solve the current problems first.
