Ethereum Developers Plan ‘Glamsterdam’ and ‘Hegota’ Upgrades for 2026
Ethereum developers plan two major upgrades, 'Glamsterdam' and 'Hegota,' for 2026 to establish a biannual release cadence.Summary
Ethereum core developers have outlined a strategic shift toward a biannual upgrade schedule, planning two major network upgrades for 2026: 'Glamsterdam' in the first half and 'Hegota' in the second half. Glamsterdam will focus on immediate efficiency gains through gas optimizations and implementing Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) to enhance decentralization and reduce censorship risks. Hegota will combine the 'Bogota' execution-layer update with the 'Heze' consensus-layer update, with scoping discussions beginning in January. Concurrently, the Ethereum Foundation is prioritizing security hardening, aiming for "128-bit provable security" by the end of 2026 to support institutional-grade financial applications, citing the critical nature of soundness for zkEVMs.
