Ethereum sets October 26 for Glamsterdam upgrade on Hoodi testnet

Ethereum is scheduled to activate the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet on October 26, as reported by WuBlockchain. This upgrade will increase the testnet’s gas limit to 200 million. The Glamsterdam protocol upgrade, previously implemented on the Sepolia testnet, involves updates to gas pricing for state-creation and state-access, along with broader execution and block-accounting changes. While the testnet change is confirmed, no mainnet activation date has been announced. Market participants will closely monitor the Hoodi testnet for any technical issues or bugs that could affect the upgrade’s success.
