Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade Goes Live on Sepolia Testnet with Lower Gas Limit Than Expected
Ethereum developers activated the Glamsterdam hard fork on the Sepolia test network on schedule, revealing a gas limit of roughly 64 million rather than the widely discussed 200 million figure.
The Ethereum Foundation activated the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Sepolia testnet on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 13:53:36 UTC, exactly as scheduled three weeks earlier. On-chain data confirmed the transition at slot 11,296,768 and execution block 11,856,337, introducing new header fields including Block-Level Access Lists and a declared slot number.
While market commentary had focused on an anticipated gas limit of 200 million—up from the prior 60 million baseline—analysis by cryptoticker.io found that the gas limit stood at 64,238,034 roughly an hour after the fork. Before the upgrade, the parameter held steady at 60,000,000, subsequently climbing incrementally in the blocks following activation.
The piece notes that while the current figure does not contradict development plans, the measured difference on the test network explains why a definitive deployment date for the Ethereum mainnet has yet to be scheduled.
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.
