The Ethereum Foundation updated its 2026 roadmap emphasizing three key goals: scaling the network by raising the gas limit above 100 million, improving user experience through native account abstraction and cross-L2 interactions, and strengthening layer 1 security. In 2025, Ethereum doubled blob throughput, increased the gas limit to 60 million, and implemented major upgrades Pectra and Fusaka. Upcoming 2026 updates Glamsterdam and Hegotá will introduce parallel transaction execution, enhanced scaling, and post-quantum security features.
