Vitalik Buterin outlined Ethereum’s short- and long-term scaling roadmap. In the near term, the Glamsterdam upgrade will increase capacity by enabling parallel block verification, improving ePBS, and updating gas pricing. The upgrade will bring multidimensional gas, which separates state growth costs from execution. Multidimensional gas allows Ethereum to raise throughput while limiting state expansion and supporting larger contracts. In future upgrades, each resource type will have its own floating gas price to improve efficiency. Long term, the focus is on blobs for data scaling and ZK-EVM for execution scaling. ZK-EVM clients are expected by the end of this year, with broader use in 2027. The goal is to significantly scale Ethereum while preserving decentralization, security, and solo staking.
Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 network built on the Arbitrum tech stack, has surpassed 10 million transactions on testnet. The EVM-compatible testnet went live earlier this month for developers and users to build and test apps ahead of a planned mainnet launch later this year. Robinhood Chain aims to accelerate onchain financial services and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The company plans to eventually migrate its 2,000+ tokenized U.S. stocks and equities to the network and is committing $1 million to support developers through the 2026 Arbitrum Open House program. Robinhood token stocks have already processed over $74 million in cumulative trading volume on Arbitrum One.
Colossus introduced its stablecoin-native credit card network that settles transactions noncustodially on its Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack, featuring 1-second blocks and 100ms Flashblock preconfirmations. The solution works with existing EMV terminals by converting EMV card signatures into onchain stablecoin transfers. When a card is tapped, the EMV chip signs the transaction data using ECDSA P-256. The terminal sends a standard authorization request to the acquirer, and Colossus middleware extracts the EMV data and signature to construct an ERC-4337 UserOperation. The EMVValidator then verifies the signature via the RIP-7212 precompile, and the EMVSettlement module executes the stablecoin transfer automatically. Colossus is still under development.
Startale Group and SBI Holdings introduced JPYSC, a Japanese yen stablecoin backed by a trust bank. Issued by Shinsei Trust & Banking under Japan’s trust framework, JPYSC is designed as a compliant, institutional-grade digital yen aiming to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance. The stablecoin is targeted for launch in Q2 2026, pending regulatory approvals. Startale Group is leading the technical development and is also behind Soneium and Astar Network.
