Protocol builders should begin getting their systems ready right away, as the Glamsterdam upgrade is scheduled to arrive on the mainnet before the close of this year. This highly anticipated update introduces numerous EIPs designed to enhance and scale DeFi across the Ethereum network.
The deployment timeline is already progressing smoothly. On October 6, the Sepolia network successfully went live and achieved clean finalization. Next on the schedule is the October 26 launch of Hoodi. Consensus-layer clients, node operators, home stakers, and staking pools consider this specific testnet to be the most accurate practice run for the actual deployment. Following these essential preparatory steps, the official mainnet release will take place in December.
