#比特币与黄金战争 The major Ethereum upgrade has been scheduled. Will 2026 really arrive?



Latest news: Ethereum's three-year technical roadmap has been finalized. The Glamsterdam fork is confirmed to launch in 2026. How significant is this upgrade? From another perspective, it marks the end of Ethereum's "congestion era."

What exactly is changing? Just look at these three points:

**1. Transformative Transaction Processing Capacity** — Currently, Ethereum operates on a single thread, with queues waiting. After the upgrade, it will process transactions in parallel—imagine changing from one lane to ten. The increase in TPS isn't just double; it's a leap in magnitude. On-chain user experience will finally be comparable to traditional internet applications.

**2. Dramatic Increase in Gas Limit** — From 60 million directly to 200 million, an over 3x increase. What does this mean? Complex DApp interactions and large-scale activities can now be accommodated within a single block. No more "I want to do it, but the fees are too high" situation.

**3. Clear Timeline** — The 2026 target provides developers, project teams, and capital with ample planning time. A certainty of a year and a half is enough for the ecosystem to prepare.

Why is announcing this now so important? Look at what's happening recently. Dubai supports Ethereum payments, PayPal integrates into the network, multiple countries are exploring stablecoin issuance—these are real commercial demands. Global traffic is coming in—can Ethereum handle it? This upgrade is the answer.

Once the technical bottleneck is broken, Ethereum will no longer just be a "programmable ledger," but will evolve into a settlement infrastructure capable of supporting global business and financial activities. The pricing logic will also shift from mere narrative imagination to an assessment of actual capacity.

The historical watershed has been set. Are you seeing a technical upgrade, or something else?

honestly the "infrastructure narrative" framing here is doing a lot of heavy lifting... network effects don't just materialize because you increase tps numbers, ngl. but yeah if they actually deliver parallel processing that's the kind of actual technical progress that separates protocol sustainability from vaporware. 2026 seems... optimistic? we've heard timelines before lmao

2026? That will have to wait two years. Who knows what the crypto world will look like by then.

We still have to wait another year and a half in 2026. Will it get shelved again during this period? Haha

Is 2026 still far away? Let's see what the L2s have to say first. It feels more like boosting our confidence this time.

2026, huh? If Ethereum can really achieve ten times the TPS and gas fees drop by then, the ETH I hold now will be worth something.

2026 is still far away. It's not too late to lower the current gas fees before bragging.

Ten lanes vs single lane, the difference is really huge. See you in 2026.
