The Ethereum blockchain is gearing up for major enhancements in 2026, with a focus on optimizing data storage and addressing contract size constraints. According to the results published in the material, these upgrades are expected to significantly improve the overall functionality and security of the network.
EIP-7864 Upgrade Overview
One of the key upgrades, EIP-7864, is set to improve state access and storage capabilities. This enhancement aims to mitigate the risks associated with large smart contracts, which can potentially lead to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, thereby bolstering the network's security framework.
Broader Initiative for State Management
In addition to EIP-7864, these upgrades are part of a larger initiative to refine state management and execution layers. By streamlining these processes, Ethereum developers hope to enhance the user experience, making the platform more efficient and user-friendly for developers and end-users alike.
In a notable contrast to Ethereum's upcoming enhancements, Bitdeer recently reported a significant increase in its Bitcoin production for November. For more details, see the full report here.
