One of Ethereum's biggest upgrades is now in the final testing phase.
Mainnet is loosely targeted for the second half of 2026, and one of the EF devs is already calling it the biggest fork since the Merge.
These are some of the planned upgrades:
→ ePBS (EIP-7732): block-building gets baked into Ethereum itself
→ Block-level access lists (EIP-7928): blocks start running in parallel
→ Gas repricing: compute gets cheaper, state growth gets pricier
→ Gas limit: increased over time from ~60M toward 200M
IMO, the most significant change is ePBS.
Right now, close to 90% of blocks are built by outside builders and passed through offchain relays like MEV-Boost, which is critical infrastructure that Ethereum doesn't control.
ePBS builds that step directly into Ethereum, which cuts out the relay middleman and the ordering/censorship risk that comes with it.
Do you think this will put ETH into the spotlight again?
