Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade Goes Live on Sepolia Testnet

Odaily reports that the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade has gone live on the Sepolia testnet, activating at 13:53 UTC on Tuesday, epoch 353024. This deployment is one of the major test runs ahead of the upgrade's final mainnet activation.

Glamsterdam will introduce built-in proposer-builder separation (ePBS), block-level access lists, and Gas pricing adjustments more closely aligned with execution costs, aiming to enhance the scalability and efficiency of the Ethereum mainnet. The Ethereum Foundation has published the relevant upgrade plans.

Following this testnet deployment, developers will determine the activation time for Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet, and subsequently set the mainnet launch date. Once the upgrade is complete, developers will move forward with the next major upgrade, Hegotá. (Cointelegraph)
