According to official news, the Ethereum Foundation has released the 2026 protocol priority update, which indicates that it will advance along three tracks: scalability (integrating L1 execution with Blob scaling), improving user experience (focusing on native account abstraction and cross-chain interoperability), and strengthening the L1 layer (enhancing security, censorship resistance, and network resilience).Moreover, the Ethereum Foundation stated that it will continue to push the Gas Limit to 100M and above, promote ePBS and further Blob parameter adjustments, advance the zkEVM attester client, as well as work on censorship resistance and post-quantum security; the next major upgrade, Glamsterdam, is targeted for the first half of 2026, with Hegotá planned for follow-up later in the year.
