Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 19 — The Ethereum Foundation released the 2026 Protocol Priority Update, which outlines three main tracks:
Scalability (unifying L1 execution capacity and data availability expansion, including increasing gas limits, blob extensions, and state sharding, such as EIP-7928 and zkEVM productionization)
User Experience Improvements (focusing on native account abstraction like EIP-7701/EIP-8141 and interoperability frameworks, supporting seamless cross-L2 interactions and quantum-resistant signatures)
Strengthening the L1 Layer (ensuring security, censorship resistance, and resilience, including post-quantum readiness, EIP-7805, and statelessness)
Additionally, the next major upgrade, Glamsterdam, is targeted for the first half of 2026, with Hegotá planning to follow up later this year.
