ETH Ethereum continues to evolve with its next major upgrade, The Surge. This phase aims to enhance scalability without sacrificing decentralization or security. As part of Ethereum’s long-term vision, The Surge will increase the network’s capacity to over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) across Layer 1 and Layer 2. This article explains everything you need to know about Ethereum's next step toward becoming the most scalable and efficient block chain.

The Surge refers to Ethereum’s shift toward scalability, primarily through Layer 2 (L2) solutions and rollups. Ethereum’s founder, Vitalik Buterin, introduced this concept as part of Ethereum’s roadmap to make the network faster and more efficient. The main goal is to handle more transactions while maintaining decentralization, security, and interoperability.

Ethereum currently processes about 15–30 TPS on its base layer. While this works for many applications, it causes congestion during peak times, leading to higher gas fees. The Surge aims to address these bottlenecks, improving Ethereum’s ability to serve global-scale applications.❤️❤️❤️
