Ethereum Foundation: Key objectives of the Glamsterdam upgrade largely completed; consensus reached on 200 million gas limit floor
The Ethereum Foundation published a summary of the Soldøgn Interop work, stating that key objectives for the Glamsterdam upgrade have now been largely achieved. These include reaching consensus on a post-upgrade gas limit floor of 200 million, achieving stable operation of the external builder process for ePBS, and finalizing the gas repricing parameters defined in EIP-8037. The primary focus of the Glamsterdam upgrade is to safely increase the gas limit—thereby expanding Ethereum’s throughput capacity—while EIP-8037 aims to prevent unbounded state growth under high gas limits by increasing the cost of state creation.
The Ethereum Foundation also noted that most clients have achieved stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and have successfully tested the full external builder workflow. Additionally, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and the Hegotá upgrade. Over the coming weeks, core developers will continue strengthening clients, refining tests, and merging code; final parameters will be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs meeting.
