Ethereum developers plan to upgrade Gramsterdam at the end of 2025 as one of the major milestones in the network’s long-term roadmap. This upgrade addresses scalability, security, interoperability, and general user experience enhancements. One of the most influential Ethereum improvement proposals introduced in recent years and central to this change is EIP-7732.
EIP-7732 Introducing on-chain proposer and constructor separation
EIP-7732 proposes built-in proposer-constructor separation (ePBS) as a direct part of the Ethereum protocol. Ethereum uses block construction rather than external systems such as MEV-Boost relays. This change reduces reliance on centralized infrastructure and strengthens Ethereum’s decentralization guarantees.
Gramsterdam reduces finality and reduces MEV risk
Gramsterdam’s proposer time check is used by Ethereum to validate blocks more quickly and ensure that uncertainty is minimized. Increased and faster block creation reduces malicious MEV mining plans. Developers believe these advances will enable near real-time DeFi applications, such as on-chain trading and gaming applications. Ethereum has a protocol that incorporates block construction logic that simplifies the execution flow. This design enhances scalability and develops cleaner interfaces for layer 2 networks and cross-chain systems. Builder and rollup execution conditions are now more predictable, improving interoperability within the ecosystem.
Predictability means user experience
EIP-7732 minimizes the risk of transaction reordering and unnecessary delays. Users benefit from stronger confirmations and smoother execution of transactions. The payment guarantees provided by Ethereum will help wallets, dApps, and institutions have more confidence and increase adoption. Gramsterdam and EIP-7732 believe that Ethereum prioritizes security and decentralization rather than focusing on short-term rapid profits. Structural resilience is selected by the network rather than brittle optimization. This direction makes Ethereum a reliable foundation for financial infrastructure, institutional deployments, and international Web3 applications.
