Ethereum Network Development and Updates for 2026
Let’s look at some of the updates:
Lower transaction costs (see table)
Reasons include increased blob throughput, PeerDAS (selective blob verification by validators instead of downloading every blob), and raised L1 gas limits.

Vitalik Buterin says Hegotá could be Ethereum’s last ‘normal’ fork
Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin said PeerDAS marked the start of Ethereum’s transition “from being just a blockchain to being something much more powerful.”

Vitalik Buterin envisions Ethereum transforming into a "cryptographic world computer" post-Hegota upgrade. By 2030, block verification will use SNARKs & PeerDAS. Expect optimized PoS, recursive STARKs, formal verification, and quantum-resistant security. A huge leap for #ETH! #VitalikButerin

It's an underappreciated triumph of Ethereum client developers that PeerDAS has now been running for nearly a year with basically no problems.
PeerDAS was a complex task: it's the first large-scale instance of a blockchain that achieves consensus on the availability of data without needing any single node to download the entire block. Decentralized consensus without replication.
And yet, it worked.
