The Ethereum Foundation has achieved several milestones for the next Ethereum update called “Glamsterdam” and has appointed three fresh leaders for its protocol team.
Ethereum Foundation he said on Monday in a blog post it said it had achieved a “credible post-Glamsterdam target” by setting a gas floor limit of 200 million, which would give the network a significant speed boost after the upgrade compared to the current gas limit of around 60 million.
“The most urgent goal is to ship Glamsterdam,” said the Ethereum Foundation, which originally planned the update for June, but is now likely to happen in the third quarter of 2026.
Glamsterdam is focused on scaling the Layer 1 chain by revamping the way the network processes transactions and manages its growing database, “fundamentally updating the way Ethereum creates and validates blocks.” According to to the Ethereum website.
The Ethereum Foundation also continues to prepare for Hegotà, the next major update, and refines Strawmap, its quantum-ready roadmap.
“Glamsterdam devnets are already operational and the search for Hegota is already at an advanced stage,” it was stated during an inter-operational meeting in Svalbard, Norway.
ePBS finalization and smarter data storage
EF also confirmed the stabilization of stored proponent-builder separation (ePBS), a system that allows validators to outsource block building responsibilities to a group of specialized builders.
The fresh saved version incorporates this separation directly into Ethereum’s rules, with less reliance on external relays, giving the network more time to safely handle larger blocks.

Work has also been completed on EIP-8037, which enables smarter pricing for data storage. The proposal increases the costs of the state formation operation, avoiding excessive state development within the increased block gas limits.

Changes in EF Protocol leadership
The Foundation also announced the “initiation of a leadership transition” for the Ethereum Foundation Protocol cluster with Will Corcoran, Kev Wedderburn and Fredrik as the fresh leaders.
Ethereum developers Barnabé Monnot and Tim Beiko are leaving the Foundation, and Alex Stokes will be on sabbatical, it said.
“A new chapter begins for the Protocol cluster. We welcome new leaders and coordinators and continue our work towards Glamsterdam, Hegotà and Strawmap”, he said Corcoran on X on Monday.
“My idea is to make Ethereum’s unique features more accessible to today’s users, just like participating in the many ways Ethereum is built.” he said Monnot.
