Ethereum Upgrade 2026 Protocol Priority: Glamsterdam Upgrade Scheduled for H1

2026.02.19 09:57:41

On February 19, the Ethereum Foundation released its 2026 Protocol Priority Update, outlining progress across three key focus areas: 1. **Scalability** (improving unified L1 execution capacity and data availability—including raising the gas limit, blob extensions, state scaling via EIP-7928, and operationalizing zkEVM); 2. **Enhancing User Experience** (focused on native account abstraction—covering EIP-7701 and EIP-8141—and an interoperability framework enabling seamless L2 interactions, plus quantum-resistant signatures); 3. **Strengthening the L1 Layer** (securing, anti-censorship, and resilience—including post-quantum readiness, EIP-7805, and statelessness). Additionally, the next major upgrade—Glamsterdam—is targeted for the first half of 2026, with Hegotá scheduled to follow later that year.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Reveals Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Plan Is Advancing at a Cautious Pace

June 4 — U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced during a Senate Banking Committee hearing that the Treasury Department is advancing its planned strategic Bitcoin reserve with “deliberate speed.” The initiative stems from a prior executive order issued by former President Donald Trump, and the reserve would be funded primarily by Bitcoin seized by the government through criminal or civil forfeiture cases. Yellen noted the process is complex, but the Treasury will follow best practices to ensure the reserve’s long-term stability. In April, the White House’s digital asset advisory team signaled there would be a significant upcoming announcement related to this plan, though no further developments have emerged since that time.
