Ethereum’s Glamsterdam Upgrade Successfully Launches on Sepolia Testnet
- The Glamsterdam upgrade went live on the Sepolia testnet at 1:53 PM UTC.
- Key features include enshrined proposer-builder separation (EIP-7732) and block-level access lists (EIP-7928).
- The Ethereum Foundation set a gas limit floor of 200 million for the upgrade, enhancing transaction speed from the current limit of around 60 million.
- Glamsterdam aims to improve scalability and efficiency, following the previous Fusaka upgrade.
- The upgrade allows for parallel processing of transactions, increasing throughput without raising gas limits.
The launch of Glamsterdam on the Sepolia testnet is a crucial step toward enhancing Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency through innovative changes in its consensus protocol and execution processes.
With a new gas limit floor of **200 million**, this upgrade is set to significantly boost transaction speeds compared to the existing **60 million** limit. (Source)
