October 26 is off Ethereum's Glamsterdam calendar for now. The upgrade scheduled for Hoodi, Ethereum's test network, has been postponed, with no replacement date set.
The Ethereum Foundation's October 22 notice also removes the planned increase in Hoodi's gas limit to 200 million at that activation. Developers want more time to investigate how one of the upgrade's proposals, EIP-8037, interacts with mainnet smart contracts.
For anyone tracking ETH upgrade catalysts, the practical change is the calendar: the October 26 testnet activation and its capacity increase are no longer scheduled. Older announcements still carrying that date have been superseded. This isn't a postponed mainnet launch; a Glamsterdam mainnet date has not been set.
The next milestone to watch is a newly announced Hoodi activation schedule. Ethereum mainnet users and ETH holders don't need to take action because of this notice.
