The Ethereum Foundation called 2025 one of its “most productive years,” highlighting two major network upgrades and the gas limit significantly increasing.$BTC $BNB

The Ethereum Foundation has announced it is targeting faster transactions, smarter wallets, better cross-chain transactions and quantum security measures as its “protocol priorities” in 2026.#ETH #Ethereum #ETHETFsApproved
In a statement published on Wednesday, the Ethereum Foundation outlined several goals, including continuing to scale the gas limit — the maximum amount of computational work a block can handle — “toward and beyond” 100 million, which has been a major topic of discussion among the Ethereum community in 2025. $ETH

Some Ethereum community members anticipate that the gas limit will increase significantly this year. In November 2025, Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said that the goal of significantly increasing Ethereum’s gas limit to 180 million in 2026 is a baseline rather than a best-case scenario. @Fabrice_Alice @HASSAN X1
“Post-quantum readiness” is a focus for Ethereum
The foundation pointed to the Glamsterdam network upgrade, set for the first half of 2026, as a major priority. It also emphasized “post-quantum readiness” in its trillion-dollar security initiative as a priority.#Write2Earn
On Jan. 24, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake said in an X post that the foundation had “formed a new Post-Quantum (PQ) team.” 
“Today marks an inflection in the Ethereum Foundation's long-term quantum strategy,” Drake said.@D E X O R A @DJ史珍香
The Ethereum Foundation said it will also focus on improving user experience in 2026, with an emphasis on enhancing smart wallets through native account abstraction and enabling smoother interactions between blockchains via interoperability.
“The goal remains seamless, trust-minimized cross-L2 interactions, and we're getting closer day by day. Continued progress on faster L1 confirmations and shorter L2 settlement times directly supports this.”
The foundation said that 2025 was one of the “most productive years,” citing two major network upgrades, Pectra and Fusaka, and the community raising the gas limit from 30 million to 60 million between the upgrades, for the first time since 2021.@陌上花开Hawk @波波掘金 BNB
Buterin’s big plans for Ethereum and AI
Ethereum Foundation’s Mario Havel said in an X post on Wednesday that, “It took us a while to push out the announcement because we were preparing the biggest curriculum so far.” #BTC走势分析
It comes just days after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his latest vision for Ethereum’s intersection with artificial intelligence on Feb. 10. Buterin explained that he sees the two working together to improve markets, financial safety, and human agency.  
Buterin said his broader vision for the future of AI is to empower humans rather than replace them, though he said the short term involves much more “ordinary” ideas.

Quantum Readiness, Gas Limits in 2026 Priorities
The Ethereum Foundation's 2026 roadmap prioritizes quantum readiness and gas limits as key areas of focus. The roadmap aims to enhance Ethereum's scalability and security by implementing ZK-proof validation and increasing the gas limit to over 100 million units per block. This expansion is part of a broader strategy to improve network throughput and efficiency, addressing the need for more transactions to be processed before congestion occurs. The roadmap also emphasizes the importance of PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling) and ePBS (Proposer-Builder Separation) to scale data availability without compromising network integrity. These upgrades are designed to work in tandem with the gas limit expansion, ensuring that Ethereum's infrastructure can handle the increased load without sacrificing performance.@油炸资本圈BoomBoomBoom @CriptoDineroPRO

Pakistan a dat aprobarea inițială pentru Binance, una dintre cele mai mari platforme de schimburi cripto din lume, și HTX, o platformă de active digitale, pentru a se înregistra la autoritățile de reglementare, a-și înființa subsidiare locale și a începe pregătirea cererilor complete pentru licențele de schimb, a declarat autoritatea pentru activele virtuale vineri.
Această acțiune vine pe măsură ce jurisdicții precum Emiratele Arabe Unite, Japonia și părți ale Uniunii Europene extind regulile formale de licențiere pentru schimburile cripto în contextul unei consolidări globale mai ample a reglementărilor.
