This marks the resumption of this land oil transport route for Iraq after 13 years. The Rabia crossing, located in Iraq's northwestern Nineveh province, had been closed for a long time since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011 and was just reopened in April this year. The crossing is not far from the oil fields in northern Iraq, including Mosul and Kirkuk.

On May 4, the Ethereum Foundation published a summary of the Soldøgn Interop work, stating that the key goals of the Glamsterdam upgrade have been largely achieved. This includes reaching a consensus on the 200 million Gas Limit minimum after the upgrade, ensuring stable operation of the ePBS external Builder process, and finalizing the EIP-8037 Gas repricing parameters. The focus of the Glamsterdam upgrade is to enhance security by raising the Gas Limit to expand Ethereum's throughput capacity, while EIP-8037 aims to prevent state bloat caused by high Gas Limits by increasing the cost of state creation. The Ethereum Foundation also noted that most clients have completed stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and successfully tested the entire external Builder process. Additionally, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and functionalities related to the Hegotá upgrade. In the coming weeks, core developers will continue to advance client hardening, testing, and code merging, with final parameters to be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs meeting.

On May 4, Barry Silbert, founder of Digital Currency Group (DCG), the parent company of Grayscale, stated on the X platform that in 2015, the market was not yet aware of the $2 trillion demand for decentralized digital value storage tools like Bitcoin. At that time, the industry generally believed that Bitcoin itself was sufficiently private and could serve as a relatively discreet global value storage and transfer tool. However, as market awareness has increased, the demand for privacy has become more clearly recognized. Consequently, privacy coins like Zcash will benefit from this 'prophet advantage'.

On May 2, the Ethereum Foundation released a summary of the Soldøgn Interop Recap event. At the end of April 2026, over 100 Ethereum core developers participated in the Soldøgn interoperability event, focusing on the upcoming Glamsterdam network upgrade. The event achieved three core objectives: establishing the gas limit lower bound at 200M after the upgrade, ensuring ePBS operates stably across multiple clients (supporting external builders), and setting the gas repricing parameters for EIP-8037. Progress was also made in optimizing block access lists, making decisions on multiple Glamsterdam EIPs, and laying the groundwork for future features such as FOCIL for Hegotá and native account abstraction. Through intensive coding, stress testing, and breakout discussions, the team successfully built a stable devnet, resolved numerous cross-client edge issues, and optimized state growth control and execution efficiency, providing reliable data support for enhancing throughput security.
