Ethereum’s Glamsterdam test runs near 200 million gas per block after upgrade
60-second summary
Ethereum’s “Glamsterdam” test on Sepolia now runs close to 200 million gas per block after the recent upgrade, tripling the processing budget while sampled blocks consume under half that limit; this demonstrates the network’s expanded capacity and suggests future main‑net blocks could handle larger transaction volumes, potentially boosting throughput and lowering fee volatility across the ecosystem.
The Sepolia rehearsal has raised its processing budget more than threefold, but sampled blocks used less than half that allowance.
