Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade: How ePBS and EIP-7732 End the Flashbots Era and Rewrite MEV
Ethereum's 2026 Glamsterdam hard fork brings Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation into the protocol itself. Here is what EIP-7732 changes, why it guts the Flashbots relay business, and what it means for the $500M MEV market.
Ethereum Glamsterdam: The Upgrade That Could End Four Years of ETH Underperformance
Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade (targeting May/June 2026) introduces enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation and Block-Level Access Lists to cut MEV extraction by 70% and unlock parallel transaction execution — arriving as the ETH/BTC ratio shows its first meaningful recovery in four years.
Monad Mainnet Is Live — But Does 10,000 TPS Still Matter When Base Owns 46% of L2 DeFi TVL?
Monad's public mainnet launched with 10,000 TPS and 400ms blocks, proving parallel EVM works at scale. But with Base commanding $4.1B TVL at 2-second blocks, the real question is whether raw throughput ever drives market share more than distribution.
Ethereum's Glamsterdam Hard Fork Explained: How Parallel Execution and ePBS Target 10,000 TPS
Ethereum's Glamsterdam hard fork targets H1 2026 with parallel execution via Block-Level Access Lists (EIP-7928), enshrined proposer-builder separation (EIP-7732), and gas repricing that could push L1 throughput to 10,000 TPS while cutting fees by 79%. We break down the architecture, the competition, and the risks.
