Ethereum Advances Glamsterdam Upgrade For High TPS

Ethereum has entered final testing for the Glamsterdam hard fork, scheduled for the first half of 2026, aiming to implement Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) and Block-Level Access Lists (EIP-7928). The upgrade raises the gas limit to 200 million and targets 10,000+ TPS on the base layer, positioning Ethereum to support agentic AI microtransactions. Investors expect possible ETH–BTC decoupling and a pre-fork rally toward the end of Q1 2026.
