Glamsterdam with EIP-7928 (Block-Level Access Lists) is approaching the final mile, and things look great: * Significant throughput increase thanks to parallelism * Faster and simpler sync via snap v2 * Future-compatible with zkEVMs, partially stateful nodes, inclusion lists, and trie migrations When we started working on the idea, we saw it as a nice scaling feature and didn’t yet realize that adding state diffs would have a bunch of positive side effects: making tracing faster, improving inclusion list quality under FOCIL (EIP-7805), and helping nodes catch up faster after being offline. Glamsterdam will be one of the biggest forks we’ve seen, and it took correspondingly long, but the result will be worth it.
