TechFlow news: On February 19, the Ethereum Foundation released its 2026 Protocol Priorities Update, outlining progress along three tracks:
- Scalability (unifying L1 execution capacity and data availability scaling—including raising the gas limit, blob scaling, and state scaling, e.g., EIP-7928 and zkEVM productionization)
- User Experience Improvements (focusing on native account abstraction—e.g., EIP-7701/EIP-8141—and interoperability frameworks to support seamless cross-L2 interactions and quantum-resistant signatures)
- Strengthening the L1 Layer (ensuring security, censorship resistance, and resilience—including post-quantum readiness, EIP-7805, and statelessness)
Additionally, the next major upgrade, Glamsterdam, is targeted for the first half of 2026, with Hegotá planned to follow later this year.
