The Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade is running on the Sepolia testnet, with the Gas limit raised to nearly 200 million.

On October 8, according to CoinDesk, the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade was activated on the Sepolia testnet on Tuesday, raising the block gas limit from approximately 60 million to nearly 200 million, an increase of over three times. A review of more than 25 consecutive test blocks showed actual gas usage ranging from approximately 52 million to 92 million, accounting for only 26%~46% of the available limit, with no instances of full capacity being reached. The upgrade also adjusted the gas consumption method for specific tasks and the costs for storing data, requiring developers to re-test applications that rely on specific gas cost assumptions. The next public testnet, Hoodi, is tentatively scheduled to launch on October 27, while the activation date on the Ethereum mainnet remains undetermined.
