【Blockchain Rhythm】Ethereum developers have recently made another big move. After completing the Fusaka upgrade to reduce node costs, they are now turning their attention to the next major upgrade—“Glamsterdam,” which is scheduled to go live in 2026.
The name of this upgrade sounds a bit special; it is actually a combination of two upgrades. The execution layer (which handles transactions and smart contracts) will undergo the Amsterdam upgrade, while the consensus layer (responsible for coordinating validators and confirming blocks) will be upgraded to Gloas. The two layers will advance in sync, which sounds very ambitious.
Where is the real substance? The core is the introduction of proposer builder separation (ePBS) and block-level access control lists. In simple terms, these two innovations can significantly reduce the manipulation and abuse space caused by the maximum extractable value (MEV). For developers who want to make Ethereum fairer and more transparent, this is a tangible progress.

Is it going to take until 2026 to resolve MEV? This speed is a bit slow, I can't wait.

Ha, another upgrade is coming? It won't be online until 2026... The MEV vampires must be having sleepless nights.

Is ePBS really coming? 2026 is still too far away, let the MEV vampires have their fun first.

ngl 2026 feels like forever away but ePBS is gonna be *chef's kiss* for actual fair transactions... finally someone's taking MEV seriously instead of just talking about it
Ethereum Glamsterdam Upgrade Arrives: Achieving ePBS and MEV Regulation by 2026
