Welcome to 2026. Amber is back.
Ethereum made major progress in 2025. Gas limits were raised, blob capacity expanded, node software became more robust, and zkEVMs smashed key performance targets. With the combined impact of zkEVMs and PeerDAS, Ethereum took one of its biggest steps yet toward becoming something fundamentally different — and far more powerful — than a traditional blockchain (more on that later).
Ethereum exists as a response to that shift.
To fulfill this role, Ethereum must be both scalable and genuinely decentralized. That means progress on two fronts:
(a) the blockchain layer — including the software used to run and interact with the network — and
(b) the application layer built on top of it.
Every part of this stack needs improvement. Progress is happening, but it must accelerate.
The good news is that we already have powerful tools at our disposal. What’s left is to use them effectively — and we will.
Here’s to an ambitious and exciting 2026.
Amber
