Ethereum Dev Update: Recent Upgrades
Fusaka Upgrade (Jan 2026)
Ethereum completed the Blob-Parameters-Only (BPO) fork, increasing the blob limit per block from a target of 10 to 14 and max from 15 to 21. This boosts data throughput for Layer 2 rollups and can reduce Layer 2 fees by approximately 60%.
Upcoming Forks - Glamsterdam & Hegota (2026):
Glamsterdam (mid-2026): Combines the execution-layer "Amsterdam" and consensus-layer "Gloas" upgrades. Introduces proposer-builder separation (ePBS) and block-level access lists aimed at enhancing MEV fairness.Hegota (late 2026): A follow-up upgrade with additional improvements.
Staking Flows Normalized: As of January 2026, validator deposit and withdrawal queues are cleared, allowing near-instant joining or exiting of validators. Staking rewards are steady at about 3%, with no long lockups.
Research & Privacy: The Ethereum Foundation appointed new leadership for a Privacy Research Cluster to advance work on zero-knowledge proofs and secure computation, supporting privacy and scaling enhancements.
