Ethereum researcher Soispoke.eth proposed Fork-Choice Enforced Inclusion Lists (FOCIL) EIP-7805 as the headliner proposal for the Glamsterdam upgrade, which is the fork after Fusaka. FOCIL improves censorship resistance by allowing multiple validators to enforce the inclusion of any transaction valid under protocol rules, ensuring that no single block builder can exclude them. FOCIL benefits users by ensuring timely inclusion of transactions when the network isn’t congested, without depending on a few centralized builders. It targets growing centralization risks due to MEV and private order flow. Headliner proposals represent the primary feature of an Ethereum upgrade that aligns with the fork’s focus.
Based on data from the gaslimit.pics dashboard created by Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrstätter, over 150,000 Ethereum validators are now signaling support for a block gas limit above 60 million—nearly double the current limit of 36 million. It represents roughly 15% of all validators. Increasing the block gas limit enables each block to carry more data, thereby enhancing L1 transaction throughput. Changing the gas limit does not require a hard fork. Validators can raise the gas limit simply by adjusting their node configurations when proposing blocks. Once more than 50% of validators signal for an increase, the gas limit will automatically adjust to the next threshold. Validator operators can find more information at pumpthegas.org.
Rocket Pool integrated Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to enable rETH transfers between Ethereum and the Ronin Network. The integration uses Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard, allowing rETH, a token representing staked ETH on Ethereum via Rocket Pool node operators, to be securely represented and used on other chains. CCIP supports secure cross-chain messaging and, combined with Chainlink’s pricing data and smart contract automation, enables improved capital efficiency across DeFi for cross-chain LST protocols. Rocket Pool is currently the third-largest liquid staking protocol, with over 660,000 ETH staked and $1.7 billion in total value locked.
