Briefings
The Ethereum Glamsterdam Upgrade activated on Sepolia, marking the first two upgraded epochs. Early blocks began a gradual gas-limit climb from 60 million toward a 200 million client target. This transition represents a significant shift in network efficiency and cost structures for the testnet.
Key points
- The Ethereum Glamsterdam Upgrade activated on Sepolia, marking the first two upgraded epochs.
- Early blocks began a gradual gas-limit climb from 60 million toward a 200 million client target.
Context
This upgrade represents a critical transition in Ethereum's testnet infrastructure, shifting from a fixed 60 million gas limit to a dynamic 200 million target. The activation on Sepolia provides the first real-world data on this new gas model.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to the first two upgraded epochs and early blocks. The full gas-limit climb trajectory remains unverified beyond the initial 60 million baseline.
