Gas Limit to Increase to 200 Million, Sepolia Completes Emergency Fix Ahead of Glamsterdam Test

Odaily News: The Ethereum development team completed an emergency software update ahead of the Glamsterdam upgrade test on the Sepolia testnet, fixing an issue that could cause some validators to produce low-capacity blocks. This test will raise the Sepolia network's gas limit from approximately 60 million to 200 million to validate Ethereum's future plans for improving network throughput. Ethereum validator client Prysm released version 7.2.1 on Monday evening. The previous version was released before the relevant Sepolia parameter adjustments, meaning validators who did not manually modify their settings would still operate under the 60 million gas limit; this update will ensure validating nodes participate in the Glamsterdam test as expected.
