Fireside Chat On The Future of Ethereum Protocol
summary
Roadmap announces two named upgrades, Fusaka and Glamsterdam, that push blob capacity via a client-agreed parameter change to avoid frequent hard forks and aim to make L2 scaling credible for enterprises. ZKVMs move from prototypes toward sidecar provers run by validators (targets: <10 kW, <$100k capex) to enable blocks in the hundreds of millions gas; client optimizations aim for ~100M gas now and ~300M with ZKVMs. Institutions ask about fee capture and many custom L1s are migrating to Ethereum L2s for usage and integration.
