Attention friends optimistic about Ethereum— the 2026 upgrade might be more powerful than you imagine.

First, remember one key term: Glamsterdam fork. Don’t be unfamiliar with the name; this thing is actually a deep overhaul of Ethereum, not just patching.

The two most core changes, each powerful enough:

**1. True parallel transaction processing**

What’s the current situation? All transactions queue up in a single lane, processed one after another. After the upgrade, it’s different—the network can process multiple transactions simultaneously in parallel, like turning a single-lane road into a ten-lane highway. The obvious benefits are: speed skyrockets, user experience becomes smoother, and Gas fees are expected to improve due to increased throughput.

**2. Gas limit directly triples**

The current block Gas limit is about 60 million; after the upgrade, it’s raised to 200 million. This means the volume of transactions and the complexity of contracts that can be packed into a single block have qualitatively increased. Ecosystems like DeFi, blockchain games, and social applications that consume heavy resources will finally no longer bottleneck each other. The network’s capacity ceiling is thoroughly broken through.

**The core message: Faster, stronger, more capable.**

This isn’t just a performance upgrade. Essentially, it’s laying the groundwork for the next wave of millions of users and explosive growth of DApps. Like expanding a highway from two lanes to ten, and then raising the speed limit—naturally attracting more applications and users.

You might be thinking: what does this mean for my investments?

The answer is—opportunities may be hidden in the combination of "lower latency + huge capacity." When the performance ceiling is broken, many currently impossible gameplay modes become feasible. New application types, new business models, and even new leading projects could emerge after this upgrade.

From a track perspective, DeFi protocols, cross-chain solutions, and high-frequency trading applications might be the first to benefit. But honestly, the most promising things are often those no one has thought of yet.

What do you think about this upgrade? Which tracks do you believe will be the first to take off? Where will the next killer ecosystem applications appear? Share your judgment.
