🧪Ethereum Upgrade Roadmap Exposed: Fusaka and Glamsterdam Will Ignite a New Wave of On-Chain Innovation
On August 2, 2025, the 217th Ethereum Core Developer Meeting concluded, and Tim Beiko announced the upcoming two major upgrade codenames—Fusaka and Glamsterdam. This is not just a technical discussion, but a bellwether for the future direction of the entire ETH ecosystem.
🧱 Fusaka Upgrade:
• 8/4 will confirm EIP-7825
• Simultaneously adjust the Gas Limit cap for single transactions
👉 This means that execution efficiency will be optimized, allowing for more complex transaction logic to be completed in a single transaction, which is a positive for Layer2 and DeFi automation.

🧬 Glamsterdam Upgrade:
• 8/7 will decide on the specific upgrade plan
• Discussion includes:
• Block-Level Access Lists (BAL)
• ePBS (Encapsulated Proposer-Block Separation)
• EIP-7862: Delayed Execution Mechanism
⚠️ If ePBS is ultimately chosen, then BAL may be included in the Execution Layer (EL) core proposal.
Behind this debate is the philosophical tug-of-war within Ethereum regarding decentralization vs. modular efficiency.

This is not merely a "technical upgrade," but another step for Ethereum on the path towards modularization, Rollup-centric design, and layered governance of proposals.
Imagine:
• Fusaka = Adjusting fuel usage rules (Gas) for more precise driving
• Glamsterdam = Deciding who can use which lane and how to steer
These discussions will ultimately shape:
• The cost structure for Builders
• The role positioning of Validators
• The transaction efficiency for users
• The scalability of new EVM modules

📉 Currently, ETH has dropped to $3,521 (-4.53%)
Market sentiment is bearish in the short term, but don't forget, the true battleground of bulls and bears has never been in the price, but in every line of code in the evolution of the protocol.
Next week (8/7) is a key observation day. The choice of technical details will determine the infrastructure layout of Ethereum for the next two years.
