Briefings

A Sepolia testnet rehearsal for Ethereum's upcoming upgrade shows processing capacity increased by over 300%, yet actual block usage remained below 50% of the allocated budget. This indicates significant unused computational resources during the test phase.

Key points

• Sepolia testnet processing budget increased by more than threefold (300%+ increase) compared to previous runs.
• Actual sampled blocks utilized less than half of the allocated processing budget during the rehearsal.

Context

This finding highlights a potential mismatch between planned computational capacity and actual network demand during the Ethereum upgrade test phase.

Limitations

Data is from a single Sepolia rehearsal snapshot; specific block counts or timeframes are not provided, limiting the ability to calculate precise utilization rates.
