Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade Goes Live on Sepolia Testnet

Odaily News: The Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade has gone live on the Sepolia testnet, completing activation at 13:53 UTC on Tuesday, at epoch 353024. This deployment is one of the major test rehearsals before the upgrade's final mainnet activation.

Glamsterdam will introduce built-in proposer-builder separation, block-level access lists, and Gas pricing adjustments that better align with execution costs, aiming to improve the scalability and efficiency of the Ethereum mainnet. The Ethereum Foundation has already published the relevant upgrade plans.

After 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)
