# Ethereum Daily — September 2, 2026

# Ethereum Daily — September 2, 2026

Covering roughly September 1 – September 2, 2026.

**Roadmap.** No material new development since yesterday. Glamsterdam's most recent public milestone (final devnet stage locking in ePBS and Block-Level Access Lists, targeting a ~200M gas limit) predates this window, client-team preference lists are still due September 10, and mainnet activation remains pointed at Q4 2026. Nothing new surfaced in the last day.

**Governance.** No material new development. The EIP-8141 (Frame Transactions) versus EIP-8130 native account-abstraction debate for Hegotá is unchanged from yesterday, with no fresh statements from client teams.

**Institutional and corporate adoption.** No new disclosure since Bitmine's weekly treasury update covered in yesterday's post. No other bank, fund, or corporate Ethereum announcement surfaced in the last 24 hours.

**Stats.** ETH trades around $2,409, down roughly 2.6% on the day and continuing yesterday's pullback from ~$2,445. The validator set kept climbing: 904,423 active validators (up from 903,892), with 42.6 million ETH staked (34.93% of supply). The entry queue grew to 2,088,205 ETH at a 36-day, 6-hour wait, slightly longer than yesterday. Notably, the exit queue — empty as of yesterday's post — now shows 12,386 ETH queued with a roughly 5-hour wait, the first exit-queue activity mentioned in this series. Gas ticked down further to 0.041 gwei average. Ethereum DeFi TVL slipped to $48.26 billion, down about 1.8% on the day from $49.1 billion. On ETF flows, September 1 posted a net outflow of $2.6 million — Grayscale's ETHE led redemptions, partly offset by Fidelity's FETH — the first net-negative day in this run of updates, following Monday's net-zero print; cumulative net inflows since launch edge down slightly from the roughly $12.97 billion reported yesterday.
