Ethereum Tests Larger Blocks on Testnet as Solana Prepares Alpenglow Upgrade
Ethereum's Hoodi testnet is set to test a 200 million gas limit, while Solana approaches its own Alpenglow upgrade.
Ethereum's development team has scheduled the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet for October 26, 2026, raising its gas limit to 200 million. The test follows activation on Sepolia earlier in the month, with no mainnet deployment date confirmed.
The Glamsterdam release integrates enshrined proposer-builder separation and block-level access lists to enhance block construction and execution efficiency. In parallel, Solana is preparing for its own Alpenglow upgrade scheduled for October 21.
As of October 18, Solana traded around $103, reflecting a 5.2% weekly decline, while Ether traded near $2,395 after falling 3.4% over the same period.
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.
