Analysis: 2026 Will Be Ethereum's Key Scalability Moment, Gas Limit to Increase Significantly from 60 Million to 200 Million

BlockBeats News, December 25th, according to Cointelegraph, the coming year will be a key period for Ethereum's scalability. By 2026, Ethereum will see the Glamsterdam fork, which will bring nearly perfect parallel processing capabilities to the mainnet and significantly increase the Gas limit from the current 60 million to 200 million.

A large number of validators will transition from re-executing transactions to validating zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. This shift will enable Ethereum Layer 1 to embark on a development path that can scale to 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) or even higher, although this goal will not be achieved in 2026.

At the same time, data blocks will increase (each block could reach 72 or more), allowing L2 to process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. L2 is also becoming more user-friendly; ZKsync's recent Atlas upgrade allows funds to stay on the mainnet but transact within the ZKsync rollup chain's fast execution environment. The planned Ethereum interoperability layer will facilitate seamless cross-chain operations between L2s, with a focus on privacy, and the goal of the Heze-Bogota fork is to enhance censorship resistance by the end of the year.
