Glamsterdam combines execution- and consensus-layer changes, with two headline components:
ePBS — changes how Ethereum blocks are built and proposed.
Block-Level Access Lists (BALs) — designed to improve how block data and state access are handled.
Together with gas-pricing changes, the upgrade is aimed at improving Ethereum L1 scalability and throughput. �

Why it matters
This is more than a routine software update.
Ethereum is testing infrastructure intended to make the base layer more capable as network activity and state growth continue. The Ethereum development roadmap has been targeting a 200M gas-limit floor for post-Glamsterdam testing, although actual mainnet performance will depend on how testing and client implementations progress. �

One important distinction:
Sepolia activation is scheduled. Mainnet activation is NOT yet scheduled. Ethereum.org currently lists mainnet Glamsterdam for Q4 2026, with the exact date still TBD. �

So the next milestone to watch is October 6: Glamsterdam on Sepolia.
