Ethereum Foundation Sets 2026 Protocol Priorities with Two Hard Forks per Year and Three-Pillar Development Track

The Ethereum Foundation released its "Protocol Priorities Update for 2026" on Feb. 18, outlining a roadmap with two hard forks annually and development organized around three pillars: Scale, Improve UX, and Harden the L1. The plan builds on the 2025 Pectra and Fusaka hard forks and sets the stage for the 2026 Glamsterdam and Hegotá upgrades, marking a shift toward structured engineering delivery. Scaling priorities include Block-level Access Lists, ePBS integration, gas limits targeting over 100 million, and increased blob capacity, while UX improvements focus on intent-based interoperability, the Ethereum Interoperability Layer, native account abstraction via EIP7701 and EIP8141, and faster L1 confirmation rules that could cut finality to 15–30 seconds. Security enhancements center on FOCIL (EIP7805) for censorship resistance and post-quantum signature research, positioning Ethereum as a secure settlement layer with more predictable governance.
