Don't remind me again today

Ethereum's next major evolution is taking shape. The Glamsterdam upgrade—merging Gloas with Amsterdam—is penciled in for 2026.



Two game-changers are on the menu: enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS) and Block-level Access Lists (BALs). ePBS bakes builder-proposer dynamics directly into the protocol, while BALs introduce fine-grained control over block access. Both aim to tighten security and decentralization at the base layer.

The roadmap keeps moving. 2026 might seem distant, but for protocol-level shifts of this scale, the timeline's actually aggressive.

2026? Forget it, I'll just hold onto my coins for now. Anyway, I have to wait another two years.

We have to wait until 2026 again? This progress is really unbelievable... ePBS and BAL sound pretty good, but honestly, these names are getting more and more ridiculous.

The integration of ePBS into the protocol layer is, simply put, still about redistributing the influence between validators and builders. It all comes down to who actually benefits in the end—historically, these kinds of "perfect mechanism designs" often end up favoring the big players.

Not until 2026? I’d like to see how these builders are handling things now. Can ePBS really keep them in check?

2026 is still a long way off, just another bunch of promises... ePBS sounds good but we’ll have to see how it works in reality. Can BAL actually solve any real problems?
