EF: Gas Limit Lower Bound Set at 200M After Glamsterdam Upgrade

On May 2, the Ethereum Foundation released a summary of the Soldøgn Interop Recap event. At the end of April 2026, over 100 Ethereum core developers participated in the Soldøgn interoperability event, focusing on the upcoming Glamsterdam network upgrade. The event achieved three core objectives: establishing the gas limit lower bound at 200M after the upgrade, ensuring ePBS operates stably across multiple clients (supporting external builders), and setting the gas repricing parameters for EIP-8037. Progress was also made in optimizing block access lists, making decisions on multiple Glamsterdam EIPs, and laying the groundwork for future features such as FOCIL for Hegotá and native account abstraction. Through intensive coding, stress testing, and breakout discussions, the team successfully built a stable devnet, resolved numerous cross-client edge issues, and optimized state growth control and execution efficiency, providing reliable data support for enhancing throughput security.

  • a16zcrypto Policy Chief Criticizes Illinois Cryptocurrency Tax Law: Tax Logic is Absurd and Violates Multiple Federal Laws

    On June 17, Miles Jennings, the policy chief of a16zcrypto, stated that the digital asset tax law signed by the Governor of Illinois is one of the most restrictive regulations on cryptocurrency in the United States. The law imposes taxes on the exchange, transfer, and custody of digital assets: buying Bitcoin incurs a tax; storing Bitcoin on Coinbase also incurs a tax, and so on. Across the United States, there are virtually no similar financial transaction taxes on stocks, bonds, or derivatives. This means that cryptocurrencies are being treated differently, which violates multiple federal laws. Furthermore, the logic behind this taxation is nonsensical: transactions involving paper certificates of stocks, bonds, and derivatives are not taxed, yet transactions recorded on a blockchain are taxed simply because of their format? This is akin to taxing emails. Illinois could have embraced blockchain innovation and enjoyed the cost advantages it brings to the general public; however, the state is instead preparing to penalize local entrepreneurs and ordinary residents who use cryptocurrency. It is truly regrettable. Just recently, Illinois introduced a reasonably scoped Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act, demonstrating a positive and inclusive attitude towards blockchain technology. Yet, with this new tax policy, the attitude has taken a complete 180-degree turn. If states implement such discriminatory taxes that target only a single asset class, industry developers and ordinary users will migrate to other regions, ultimately resulting in losses for everyone.
