Ethereum: ePBS debated with builder deposits and relays
- —EIP-7732, in Review status, allows an ETH builder deposit and trusted payments
- —The deposit prevents the funds from being used otherwise, and loss risk remains if a block fails
- —Titan Builder does not plan to open an endpoint directly, expecting to connect through relays
- —Glamsterdam is being tested in devnet, with mainnet targeted for roughly Q4 2026
Why it matters: The change to the block-building market will affect validator returns and competition between builders and relays.
