Ethereum postpones Glamsterdam on Hoodi: October 26 date withdrawn

The Ethereum Foundation announced on October 22, 2026, that the activation of Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet, scheduled for October 26 at 17:42:48 UTC, has been postponed. No replacement date has been set yet.

Developers want to investigate how EIP-8037 interacts with existing contracts. On October 13, ChainSecurity explained that changes to gas accounting may alter how a contract responds to a failed call, even without changing its code. This is a compatibility risk that requires testing.

The scheduled activations on the execution and consensus layers are being withdrawn, along with the planned increase of Hoodi’s gas limit to 200 million. A future configuration is being changed; the network’s history is not being rolled back.

Hoodi operators should check both clients and follow their teams’ instructions to remove the old activation. The version table in the previous announcement does not prove that those versions include the postponement. The Foundation says this notice requires no action from mainnet users or ETH holders. The mainnet date remains unset.

For context, on October 23 at 06:39 UTC, Binance showed ETH at 2,405.66 USDT (-1.09% over 24 hours) and BTC at 81,841.75 USDT (-0.88%). That movement cannot be attributed to the announcement solely because they occurred at the same time.

My take: postponing a test adds uncertainty to the schedule, but also allows assumptions to be reviewed before deployment. What matters will be the technical resolution and a newly confirmed plan; this delay alone does not determine the price of ETH.

⚙️ ETHEREUM SCHEDULES THE GLAMSTERDAM UPGRADE ON THE HOODI TESTNET FOR OCTOBER 26 🧪🔥

Ethereum’s test network will test a target of 200 million gas to evaluate scalability before it goes live on mainnet.

Key points from the technical announcement:
🗓️ Activation date: Scheduled for October 26, 2026, on the Hoodi testnet.

⛽ Throughput target: Aims for a capacity of 200M gas, adjusting gradually per block.

🛠️ Node requirement: Hoodi operators must upgrade their execution and consensus clients; mainnet users don’t need to take any action.

Do you think increasing Ethereum’s gas limit will substantially reduce Layer 1 transaction fees?

Hoodi Glamsterdam paused: Ethereum slips the Oct 26 testnet fork while EIP-8037 gets another look.

On October 22, 2026, the Ethereum Foundation postponed Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet. The fork had been set for October 26, 2026 at 17:42:48 UTC (epoch 132,352). Core developers decided on ACDE #248 to keep studying how EIP-8037 would interact with contracts already live on mainnet, and no replacement activation time was announced. The delay also cancels the planned jump of Hoodi’s gas limit to 200 million at that epoch.

This is a testnet schedule change, not a mainnet date. Amsterdam (execution) and Gloas (consensus) activations on Hoodi are off the clock; chain history is not rewound. Hoodi node operators should update clients before October 26 so they are not stuck on the old fork time — Besu 26.10.1 and Nethermind 2.2.1 already drop it. Mainnet $ETH holders need no action from this alone. Watch for a fresh Hoodi date after the EIP-8037 review.

Ethereum Official: Hoodi Testnet Glamsterdam Upgrade Postponed; No Longer Scheduled for October 26

1. Ethereum Foundation announcement on October 22: The Glamsterdam upgrade on Hoodi, originally scheduled for October 26 at 17:42 UTC (epoch 132352), has been taken off the schedule. No new date has been set.
2. Reason: Core developers decided at ACDE #248 to continue evaluating how EIP-8037 interacts with existing mainnet contracts; the plan to raise the gas limit to 200 million in the same epoch has also been canceled.
3. Scope of impact: Only the Hoodi testnet configuration is being rolled back; chain history will not be reverted. Mainnet users and $ETH holders do not need to take action. The mainnet launch date remains undetermined.
4. Hoodi node operators and validators should confirm by October 26 that their clients have removed the old activation time, or a fork may occur.
