In Ethereum news today, the Glamsterdam upgrade has raised Sepolia\u2019s tested block-gas limit from about 60 million to nearly 200 million, giving the network more room to process activity before users compete for block space.<\/p>\n

But this is a public-testnet rehearsal, not a mainnet upgrade, and gas measures computational work rather than a fixed number of transactions. The key question is whether Ethereum can expand capacity without placing unacceptable demands on the computers that validate it.<\/p>\n\n

According to official reports, the change was activated on Sepolia on Tuesday, October 6, and blocks were produced under the higher limit by Thursday, October 8.<\/p>\n

Ethereum\u2019s mainnet has no activation date for Glamsterdam. The\u00a0Glamsterdam Sepolia rollout,<\/a> therefore, reflects testing progress, not a confirmed change to the live network.<\/p>\n
