$ETH . GLAMSTERDAM IS COMING. The Biggest L1 Upgrade Since The Merge?
Ethereum has just fixed the date.
Glamsterdam → Sepolia Testnet 📅 October 6, 2026 | 13:53:36 UTC | Epoch 353,024 This represents the first time that Ethereum has carried out one of its most ambitious forks in a live setting.
After Fusaka, Glamsterdam comes next in Vitalik's L1 scaling plan. And it's huge.
What is Glamsterdam? Amsterdam (Execution) + Gloas (Consensus) = Glamsterdam
3 things that will change ETH forever:
1. ePBS (EIP-7732) — the enshrinement of proposer-builder separation We'll no longer have to rely on MEV-Boost. Block construction will be carried directly into the protocol, making it more fair and secure, and the protocol will automatically reward the validators.
2. BALs (EIP-7928) — Block-Level Access Lists Here's the alpha: transactions inform Ethereum of what actions they will carry out → Ethereum is then able to carry them out in parallel. Outcome: Higher transaction processing speed, quicker synchronization, and less state bloat. The L1 system finally achieves scalability.
3. Smarter Gas Pricing Gas now takes into account the actual cost of execution and the growth of the state. This is better for the long term.
River Financialは、マイニング・ホスティング契約に基づく未払い金をめぐり、未払い分の支払いを求めてBlockstream Services Canadaを提訴することにした。総額は、2024年末に契約を解除した後、約6.7百万ドルになるという。前払い手数料と、翌年から始まる月額支払いを伴う早期退出ペナルティをカバーする解約合意があった。
