Ethereum’s Glamsterdam Upgrade Reaches 200 Million Gas Limit on Sepolia
Ethereum’s Glamsterdam upgrade is now running on the Sepolia testnet with a processing limit near 200 million gas, according to BSCN, marking a substantial increase from the network’s previous test limit of roughly 60 million gas.
Glamsterdam Tests Higher Capacity
The Glamsterdam upgrade is being tested on Sepolia with a gas limit of nearly 200 million. The new limit is more than three times the previous level of approximately 60 million gas.
According to BSCN, the higher gas budget is designed to give Ethereum more room for transactions. The change is being evaluated during the Sepolia testing phase as developers assess the upgrade under a larger processing limit.
Test Blocks Reach 92 Million Gas
Test blocks produced so far have used between about 52 million and 92 million gas, BSCN reported. The figures show that tested blocks have operated well below the new limit of nearly 200 million gas.
The gas limit defines the amount of computational work that can be included in an Ethereum block. In the Glamsterdam testing phase, the increase from roughly 60 million to near 200 million provides a substantially larger budget for transactions within individual blocks.
Hoodi Testing and Mainnet Timing
The next stage of testing is tentatively scheduled for Hoodi on October 27, according to BSCN. The date remains tentative, while Ethereum’s mainnet activation date for Glamsterdam has not yet been set.
For now, the upgrade remains in testing, with Sepolia operating under the higher gas limit and Hoodi identified as the next tentative testing milestone. Ethereum mainnet does not currently have an activation date for Glamsterdam.
