Ethereum Prepares Glamsterdam Testnet Deployment With Higher Gas Limit
Developers plan to activate the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet, expanding block gas limits to 200 million.
The Ethereum Foundation's protocol team announced that the Glamsterdam upgrade will activate on the Hoodi test network on October 26, 2026. The deployment increases Hoodi's gas limit from 60 million to 200 million, following an earlier activation on the Sepolia testnet on October 6.
Glamsterdam introduces core protocol changes, including proposer-builder separation via EIP-7732 to integrate block production directly into consensus rules, and block-level access lists under EIP-7928 to facilitate parallel processing. The Foundation has not established a timeline for deploying these changes to the mainnet.
Market prices remained muted following the announcement, with Ether trading around $2,395 on October 18, down 3.4% over the week. Meanwhile, Solana traded near $103 ahead of its scheduled Alpenglow upgrade on October 21.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
