🔥 Ethereum’s next upgrade could be much bigger than most people realize.
The upgrade is called Glamsterdam, and after a week-long core developer workshop in Svalbard, Ethereum contributors aligned on a bold target:
A 200M gas limit floor after Glamsterdam.
That number matters.
It means Ethereum Layer 1 could be preparing for a major jump — increasing capacity while still protecting decentralization, node accessibility, and long-term network health.
For years, the main Ethereum scaling narrative has been about Layer 2s.
Glamsterdam suggests something bigger:
Ethereum is not only scaling around the base layer. It is upgrading the base layer itself.
If this works, Ethereum L1 becomes faster, more powerful, and more sustainable — without simply sacrificing decentralization.
