đđ Ethereum Sets October 6 for Glamsterdam Testnet Upgrade đ„ Ethereum has officially scheduled its next major upgrade, Glamsterdam, to activate on the Sepolia testnet on October 6, 2026 at 13:53:36 UTC. đ Key updates: âïž ePBS will bring proposer-builder separation directly into Ethereumâs protocol, reducing reliance on external relays. âïž Block-Level Access Lists (BAL) will allow clients to identify data dependencies in advance, paving the way for parallel transaction processing. âïž Gas pricing will be adjusted to better reflect actual resource usage and long-term state growth. âïž Developers are targeting a minimum 200M gas limit after Glamsterdam, significantly increasing L1 execution capacity. đŽ The October 6 activation is only for Sepolia. Hoodi and Ethereum mainnet dates have not been finalized, although the mainnet rollout is currently targeted for Q4 2026. đ Glamsterdam represents another major step in Ethereumâs roadmap toward higher L1 throughput and more efficient block processing.
