🌐What’s Next for Ethereum: Glamsterdam, Hegota & the Road Ahead
🛠Ethereum has been rolling out upgrade after upgrade since 2022 — not one big “ETH 2.0” moment, but steady improvements that make the network faster, cheaper, and easier to use.
🔹 Recent Milestones:
• The Merge (2022): Switched to proof-of-stake, cutting energy use by 99.95%.
• Shanghai (2023): Allowed stakers to finally withdraw $ETH .
• Dencun (2024): Slashed layer-2 fees with new “blob” data space.
• Pectra (2025): Smarter wallets + higher validator limits.
• Fusaka (2025): Upgraded data availability so rollups can scale even more.
🔮 Coming in 2026:
• Glamsterdam (mid-2026) — Better scaling, more parallel transactions, improved block building, and lower long-term storage costs.
• Hegota (late-2026) — Major step toward “stateless Ethereum” using Verkle Trees, making nodes lighter and increasing censorship resistance.
watching Ethereum evolve piece by piece feels like seeing a huge machine being upgraded while still running at full speed.🫡
