### **Ethereum Upgrades in 2025**
1. **The Surge (Danksharding)** – Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844) rolls out, boosting scalability for L2s (100K+ TPS future).
2. **The Scourge** – Tackles MEV/censorship via PBS (Proposer-Builder Separation).
3. **The Verge** – Verkle Trees replace Merkle Trees, enabling stateless clients & lighter nodes.
4. **The Purge** – EIP-4444 cuts historical data bloat, reducing node storage needs.
5. **The Splurge** – Minor optimizations for security and UX.
