LATEST: ⚡ Tom Lee says AI will expose flaws in centralized finance and weak decentralized protocols, making “hardened and reliable” blockchains like Ethereum more valuable, not less.

Another week.
Another Ethereum staking all-time high! 📈
32.3% of the total ETH supply is now staked.
Nearly 1 in 3 ETH is locked.
While everyone is losing their shit, the people with actual skin in the game keep increasing their commitment to the network.
Despite social media & prices telling you otherwise confidence in Ethereum is not falling.
Ethereum gas fees could drop ~78% after Glamsterdam.
Every transaction on L1 today executes sequentially through a 60M gas limit. An ethereum:native swap, a USDC transfer, and an NFT mint queue one after another even when none of them touch the same contract.
A simple token transfer costs $0.0386 because of that.
Glamsterdam fixes it in three moves:
1. Block Access Lists require transactions to declare which state they touch upfront, so validators run non-conflicting transactions simultaneously.
2. The gas limit moves from 60M to a 200M floor because parallel execution makes that safe.
3. EIP-7976 cuts worst-case block size by 37% so home validators stay viable at the higher limit.
More transactions per block means less congestion per transaction.
A $0.0386 transfer could become roughly $0.0085.
Glamsterdam targets Q3 2026.
