According to the Ethereum Foundation, the Glamsterdam upgrade is expected to roll out to mainnet around June 2026, with the block gas limit increasing from 60 million to 200 million. Development is accelerating, with core objectives largely achieved, including raising the minimum consensus limit and stabilizing the ePBS process. The upgrade aims to boost network transaction capacity to 10,000 TPS. With reduced data settlement costs on mainnet, Layer 2 rollup fees are projected to decrease by approximately 70%, intensifying fee competition among solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.
