Ethereum core developers have confirmed that the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade will retain trust payments as part of the enhanced proposer-builder separation (ePBS) while removing the FOCIL feature. This decision was announced during the 171st consensus layer meeting. The Glamsterdam upgrade follows the successful activation of the Fusaka upgrade on December 3 and the blob parameter hard fork on December 9, with network operations remaining stable. These iterative improvements are part of Ethereum's ongoing development strategy.
