Briefings

Geth v1.17.10 postpones the Amsterdam fork activation on the Hoodi testnet until a future release date, requiring existing node operators to upgrade before October 26, 2026. The release includes optimizations to DUP/SWAP dispatch and automatic snap/2 switching upon Amsterdam activation. Snap sync now defaults to snap/2 automatically once Amsterdam is active, with manual protocol switching possible via specific flags.

Key points

• Hoodi node operators running v1.17.9 must upgrade before October 26, 2026, 17:42:48 UTC to avoid fork activation delays.
• Snap sync automatically switches to snap/2 once Amsterdam is active on the Hoodi testnet.

Context

This update postpones the Amsterdam fork activation on the Hoodi testnet, previously scheduled for Oct 26, 2026, 17:42:48 UTC. Snap sync now switches to snap/2 automatically once Amsterdam is active, with manual protocol switching possible via specific flags.

Limitations

Coverage is limited to Hoodi testnet; other networks are unaffected. The release is a quick update with no further details on the Amsterdam fork activation date or specific impact on other testnets beyond the scheduled fork.
