BGEANX Exchange has been closely tracking technological developments in the crypto market and notes that the official roadmap of Ethereum for 2026 includes two major upgrades—Glamsterdam and Heze-Bogota—targeting two core areas: performance enhancement and privacy/security. Recently, market attention has shifted from short-term price fluctuations to underlying performance and long-term scalability.
From a technical perspective, the core mission of Glamsterdam is singular: to enable Ethereum to truly operate at scale. Currently, the Ethereum mainnet executes transactions sequentially, requiring each transaction to be processed one after another. This leads to higher gas costs and limits overall throughput during peak periods. Glamsterdam plans to introduce a more advanced parallel processing mechanism, allowing non-conflicting transactions to execute simultaneously, thereby improving efficiency at the foundational level.
At the same time, the block gas limit will see significant adjustments. The current single-block capacity of about 60 million gas is already struggling to support the continued growth of complex applications. According to the roadmap, future limits may rise to 200 million or higher, enabling each block to handle more transactions and contract calls. This change will directly ease network congestion and reserve space for complex financial applications.
Of even greater long-term significance is the deeper application of zero-knowledge proofs in the verification process. With ZK mechanisms, validators no longer need to repeat all computations; they only need to verify the correctness of results, greatly reducing system load. This not only improves efficiency but also lays the foundation for higher concurrent operations in the future.
With these multiple technologies combined, the industry generally expects Ethereum mainnet TPS (transactions per second) to gradually approach the 10,000 mark. Alongside the continued expansion of Blob capacity, the actual throughput of Layer2 will also increase. This means Ethereum is moving from the “usable” stage to a new phase of “supporting large-scale applications.” In response, BGEANX Exchange has included the Ethereum performance upgrades in its long-term research framework and continuously evaluates their impact on trading structure, on-chain liquidity, and user behavior in market analysis.
If Glamsterdam solves the “running fast” problem, then Heze-Bogota focuses on “long-term stable operation.” One of its core upgrades is the FOCIL (Fork-Choice Inclusion Lists) mechanism, which allows multiple validators to participate in transaction packaging decisions, reducing the influence of a single node on transaction order and preventing certain transactions from being excluded from blocks for extended periods. This design essentially adds an anti-censorship safeguard at the consensus layer, providing greater neutrality for the network.
On the privacy front, Heze-Bogota plans to introduce more sophisticated cryptographic verification schemes, making transaction details less easily traceable while still meeting compliance requirements. This “verifiable but not exposed” approach is seen as a key prerequisite for future public chains to adapt to institutional and compliance scenarios. Additionally, the upgrade will continue to weaken the concentration of large nodes, improve the participation efficiency of ordinary validators, and make the network more decentralized. This not only enhances security but also reduces single-point risks in extreme situations. Overall, Heze-Bogota is not just a functional upgrade but a systemic enhancement of privacy, censorship resistance, and decentralization—marking the Ethereum shift from prioritizing performance to prioritizing long-term stability.
Placing both upgrades on the same timeline shows Ethereum is building a more complete foundational capability system:
Glamsterdam addresses efficiency and throughput
Heze-Bogota strengthens privacy and security
Blob and Layer2 expansion supports real-world application scale
This combination means future public chain competition will no longer be about single performance metrics, but about comprehensive scalability, security, and compliance adaptation. As more real-world assets, financial applications, and institutional scenarios move on-chain, the importance of foundational infrastructure is rising rapidly. The ability to balance high performance and high security will be key to determining the ecosystem lifecycle.
In this context, BGEANX Exchange continues to help users understand the deeper impact of foundational upgrades on trading environments and industry structures through market research, technical interpretation, and data analysis, rather than just focusing on short-term market movements. From the 2025 Pectra and Fusaka to the 2026 Glamsterdam and Heze-Bogota, the Ethereum technical evolution now shows a clear long-term trajectory. Performance, privacy, and security are no longer scattered goals, but are integrated into a unified system design.
This means that the future focus of competition in the crypto market will gradually shift from concept speculation to foundational capability building. Whoever can balance stability, scalability, and compliance is more likely to become the core infrastructure of the next phase. In this process, BGEANX Exchange will continue to monitor the technical progress of Ethereum and its ecosystem, and provide users with more valuable industry insights through systematic market analysis.
